Westfield London
Set in one of London’s biggest regeneration zones, Westfield London is Europe’s largest shopping and leisure destination at 242,000 square metres, with culture, entertainment and community at its heart.
Housing almost 500 retail stores, the shopping centre attracts the best global flagships, UK firsts and popular British and local brands including the largest Zara in the UK, the first Nike Rise concept store in Europe, luxury stores such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci, and independent retailers such as Bikesoup and Black Pound Day Store.
Visitors can enjoy more than 80 restaurants, eateries, cafes and bars offering global and local cuisines including Salt Yard, Sticks'n'Sushi, Wahaca and Balans. The extensive leisure offer is anchored by Exhibition London, a 3,000-capacity venue, which launched the Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace brand in the UK, alongside City Bouldering, All Star Lanes, Sixes Social Cricket and virtual reality experience DIVR.
Event spaces at Westfield London include a large indoor Atrium and an outdoor events and entertainment space, Westfield Square, which hosts free, year-round experiential, cultural and educational events, from outdoor film screenings, sporting events and a Christmas ice rink to cultural celebrations and community-focused events.
Community is at the heart of Westfield London, from the onsite public library to bespoke services including blood donation units, sensory packs for guests with additional needs and the sunflower scheme, which supports those with hidden disabilities, through to partnerships with retailers, charities and environmental organisations. Our recent How We Thrive report illustrates some of the key community and sustainability initiatives at the centre. In 2022 the centre delivered almost £13m worth of social value, directly impacting the communities around it.
Since opening in 2008, Westfield London has helped to reshape London’s retail landscape, invested millions of pounds into White City and been a catalyst for £8bn of inward investment, including the redeveloped Television Centre, and the arrival of globally recognised institutions and brands such as Imperial College, Soho House and Publicis Group. The shopping and leisure destination has pioneered retail in London – attracting more than half a billion visitors and generating around £18bn in sales, and continues to have a transformative effect on the London economy through the creation of thousands of jobs.
