Overview

Westfield has operated in the United Kingdom since 2000. Today Westfield's portfolio has eight shopping centres - including Westfield London - and a major urban regeneration project underway in Stratford in East London. Westfield has one of the United Kingdom's most outstanding shopping centre portfolios with its range of existing centres, current developments and future projects.

Development Projects

The 1.25 million square metre, mixed-use Westfield Stratford City development will open on September 13 this year. It is the prestigious gateway to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and will be the largest urban shopping centre in Europe. Anchored by John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Waitrose and a 17-screen Vue cinema, Westfield Stratford City will also be home to 300 retailers, hotels, offices, leisure and homes. Westfield is also undertaking pre-development activity on projects in Bradford and Nottingham as well as exploring further development opportunities at Westfield London where plans for a mixed-use scheme are due to be submitted later this year.

Planned development projects elsewhere include Guildford, Merry Hill and Lisburn, Northern Ireland.

Exciting Retail Concepts

Westfield is passionate about creating an exceptional shopping centre experience. Harnessing its global retail reach, Westfield develops innovative retail concepts which keep our centres at the forefront of international trends.

The landmark 150,000-square-metre Westfield London development is the first UK shopping centre to embrace 'new luxury', a major international trend in retail. Westfield has worked with international luxury retailers and renowned architect Michael Gabellini to create The Village - a luxury quarter, with a sweeping spiral staircase, chandeliers and a champagne bar.

Westfield creates shopping centres with a dynamic mix of fashion, home, lifestyle, food and leisure experiences that serve the needs of their local areas. Retail design teams work closely with retailers to enhance shoppers' experiences and maximise each retailer's trading potential.

Westfield is introducing double-height glazing, contemporary signage and high-impact visual merchandising to create some of the most exciting retail environments in the UK.
