Located in Shepherds Bush, with excellent transport links from across London and the UK, and free parking for over 5,000 cars, Westfield is Europe’s largest shopping/leisure facility, and is visited by over 26 million annually.

Some estimates put the footfall at over 50 million per annum, with a surprisingly high number of London tourists staying in hotels across the city spending a day enjoying the numerous attractions.

The complex contains over 300 UK High Street and premium stores, and a ‘village’ of 40 high-end retail outlets from 15 countries, including Adidas, Gucci, Burberry, Tiffany & Co, Versace and many, many more.

For those must-have accessories, you will find shops such as Breitling, APM Monaco, Mango and Longines. While stores such as Lego, Early Learning and the Disney Store will keep the little ones entertained.

A great day out for the whole family, Westfield is also home to over 80 different eating concepts, including, on the balcony of the southern terrace, 13 counters specialising in prepared and cooked-to-order dishes.

Stunning in its own right, the light, glass-roofed main hall, boasts a 14-screen cinema hosting world premieres and music concerts featuring international artists.

A two-acre outdoor section holds numerous outdoor programmes and events, many aimed at younger family members. Or book the kids into KidZania, where they can be anything they like, from a brain surgeon to an airline pilot or train driver.

Wherever you’re staying in London, why not take a day off from the sightseeing, and treat the whole family to a day at Westfield.
