The Queensmere shopping centre in Slough is set to close its doors on Saturday in preparation for a major re-development. The housing developer completed a deal to buy the Queensmere Observatory shopping centre from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority in June 2025. It has now been revealed that the Queensmere shopping centre will shut on Saturday, January 17, with many stores having moved into The Observatory recently. The Observatory is part of Berkeley’s long-term investment in Slough town centre. This integrated approach looks to support existing businesses, attract new audiences and ensure the town centre remains ‘commercially viable and vibrant for the future’.
