Grants of Croydon, Grade II listed building in High Street, Croydon, United Kingdom

The building features Victorian-style windows with etched text displaying words like haberdashery and silks across its Queen Anne style facade.

Initially established as a department store in 1894, Grants became a shopping destination for French aristocrats seeking suits during World War I.

The building represents the transformation of British retail, evolving from an upscale department store to a modern entertainment complex in 2000.

The structure now houses multiple venues including Nando's restaurant, Nuffield Health fitness center, and Vue Cinema with ten screens.

Grants pioneered retail innovation by becoming the first store in the United Kingdom to install its own electrical generator system.
