Whether you’re in East or West London, one fact remains the same: Westfield London is the best place for shopping. The White City and Stratford City malls offer a similarly spectacular range of fashion, food, and other retailers including outdoor areas, cinemas, and bars that can keep you entertained for a full day.
With 250 stores and 70 restaurants, Westfield Stratford City is the larger of the two – in fact, it’s the largest shopping mall in Europe. But the only real way to decide which branch of Westfield to visit is by your point on the Central line.
Whatever you’re shopping for, you’ll find it at Westfield. But we’ll focus on the fashion aspect: from Primark to Adidas and AllSaints to Gucci, the full spectrum of brand names can be found within the halls of Westfield. Flanked with John Lewis department stores and broken up with restaurants and cafes, there is nobody that couldn’t easily wile away an afternoon here.
If you’re looking for one specific item, browsing for inspiration, or looking for gifts, a day – or even an hour – is guaranteed to be a success. Unlike busy high streets, you can meander through hundreds if not thousands of designer names without feeling like you’ve been to more than one store.
Westfield is big: really big. So it’s not the kind of place that you can easily plan to pop in and out of. It’s easy to find out way around, but it’s better to dedicate a full day or half-day to a shopping trip here, and stop to refuel mid-way or afterwards.
There’s also bowling alleys, cinemas, and other entertainment spots for those less interested in shopping. So you can drop off friends or family somewhere fun while you go and burn holes in your wallet.
Less stressful and with more options than Oxford Street, your local Westfield makes shopping easy. There are designer names to suit any budget, and with pop up stores catering to new and upcoming brands, even lovers of the less-mainstream will be able to find something they love.
Westfield London is until 9pm Monday to Saturday and until 6.30pm Sunday
Address: Ariel Way, White City, London W12 7GF and Montfichet Rd, Stratford, London E20 1EJ
