Hoddesdon

Town centre

Hoddesdon High Street is littered with shops, fast food outlets, pubs, estate agents and banks. At the north of the High Street is the 'Tower Centre' shopping centre, which is known for its high turnover of stores. Falcon Walk was once a vibrant pedestrian shopping area to the west of the High Street, but has been in decline since the year 2000. Sainsbury's, once in Falcon Walk, occupies a new site to the east of the High Street. Other notable outlets in the town centre include Argos, Woolworths, Boots, Tesco and Ladbrokes.

Shops in Hoddesdon suffer from competition from the nearby Brookfield Centre in Cheshunt and the retail parks in Harlow. Since the 1990s a number of independent traders have moved out of the town and been replaced with chains.
