Westfield is already home to over 360 shops, 60 places to eat and drink, and 17 state-of-the-art cinema screens. The Village alone houses 35 luxury brands from across the world including Louis Vuitton and Gucci, Tiffany & Co and De Beers.
However, if that’s not enough Westfield is growing. The billion-pound expansion comprises a superb pedestrian quarter and 740,000 square feet of additional retail space with over 65 new shops, all centred round the UK’s largest John Lewis department store. When complete in 2018 this will create the largest shopping and entertainment centre in Europe.
All of this is directly accessible from Wood Lane via the two gateways housed under the graceful line of Victorian railway arches that border Exhibition Park.
Live here and you’ll find yourself surrounded by a unique community of some of the world’s brightest and most creative minds.
Take a few minutes’ stroll northwards through Wood Lane parkland and you will find the site where globally renowned Imperial College is in the process of creating a 23-acre research campus. Consistently ranked one of the world’s top 10 academic institutions and at the cutting edge in a variety of scientific fields, Imperial boasts no fewer than 15 Nobel laureates among its alumni.
Imperial College’s new White City campus will be a major innovation hub, playing host to thousands of students, academics and researchers, all working side by side with established businesses and start-ups to push the boundaries of science and technology.
The new White City is regeneration for every generation, exceptional in its scope and unique in its execution. It’s a world-leading cultural, technological and educational hub in the middle of West London.
