Pentagon Shopping Centre
Chatham, United Kingdom
The Pentagon Shopping Centre (locally known as "The Pentagon") is a shopping centre located in Chatham, Kent, England. The centre's name is derived from the five-sided shape of its main courtyard, known as "Pentagon Court," a name that has been in use since the shopping centre's construction. Nearby areas within the centre include "Valenciennes Square" and "Fair Row." The Pentagon was developed by County and District Properties Limited in partnership with Chatham Borough Council. The shopping centre is home to over 70 shops and 7 leisure facilities, featuring a range of high street retailers, homeware stores, food outlets, cafes, restaurants, and a bowling alley. Although the centre does not have a traditional food court, it includes dedicated dining areas, such as the external seating space for Greggs located within the "Pentagon Court" area, which serves as a dining area specifically for that store. Other nearby stores, such as Subway, offer in-store eating areas, and Greggs provides both indoor and outdoor seating. Built as part of the Chatham town centre redevelopment in the 1970s, the Pentagon includes the high-rise Mountbatten House office block, which has been underused for much of its history. The Pentagon, Mountbatten House, and the Brook multi-storey car park are constructed from orange-red brick and grey concrete, characteristic of the "brutalist architecture" style
