Westfield London

This weekend I visited the shopping centre Westfield, for the first time.When I first drew up to it, in the car, it looked massive, like an awesome glass dome, and it made me feel really excited to get inside.



We parked the car, taking advantage of the 2 hours free parking, and noticed that the parking system is really useful, it has a green light over free spaces,a nd a red light over full ones, meaning that you dont have to waste time cruising in the hope of finding a space.

We entered Westfield through "The Village," the high end part of Westfield containing the really posh shop, such as Prada, De Beers, Hugo Boss etc. I have to say that if I was spending that kind of cash, that place would really make me feel at home, it is a lovely high end shopping experience.



We walked through the village, and came to the main shopping centre. It is a massive, open, light space that makes it feel very Mediterranean oddly, and kind of like you're outside. It is not cramped, there is food availiable everywhere, and I really enjoyed shopping there.


I am told that Westfield has a retail floor area of 150,000m² making it the largest shopping centre in London, and the third largest in the UK.

I thought Westfield was incredible, and had a large array of different shops and experiences. I hope it does well, in making London some money, being an attraction for tourists, and hopefully creating jobs and making money to help draw us out of this "credit crunch."
