Westfield Shopping Centres

At a whopping 150,000 square metres the imposing Westfield Shopping Centre in White City has the dubious honour of being London’s largest shopping mall.

Opened on 30th October 2008, bravely ignoring the first signs of a recession, this monster mall houses 265 high end shops and 50 restaurants, supplemented by a luxury spa and 14-screen cinema. The huge space includes an 18,580 square metre Marks & Spencer (bigger than its Marble Arch store) and a 6,500 square metre House of Fraser store split over three levels.

In the middle of the development is the Pavilion with glassed roof covering a central Atrium the size of a football pitch. Overlooking The Atrium, The Balcony is home to 13 fully licensed culinary counters while family-friendly eating options can be found in The Loft.

The Village is the luxury quarter where 40 high fashion label shops can be found including designer names like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Mulberry. Leading US architect Michael Gambellini, known for his award-winning ‘Top of the Rock’ observation deck on top of New York’s Rockefeller Centre, is responsible for the futuristic chandelier-lit design.

Westfield Shopping Centre, Stratford City is one of the largest urban shopping centres in Europe, with 250 shops and more than 70 places to eat. It opened in September 2011.

As well as three anchor stores, John Lewis, Waitrose and Marks and Spencer, Westfield Stratford City hosts a 17-screen all-digital Vue Cinema, an Aspers Casino, and an All Star Lanes luxury bowling alley.

Westfield Stratford City is adjacent to the Olympic Park and Stratford station and with regular special events, fantastic shopping opportunities, plenty of places to dine, and spectacular views of the Olympic Park, shopping at Westfield Stratford City is a real treat.
