Westfield London will be a large shopping centre in Shepherd's Bush, London, England. The centre is being developed by the Westfield Group, at a cost of £1.6b[1], on a site bounded by the West Cross Route (A3220), the Westway (A40) and Wood Lane (A219). The site is part of the White City district, where several other large scale development projects are underway or in the planning stages.
When completed in late 2008 the centre will boast a retail floor area of 150,000m² (1.615m ft²) [1]. Consequently, it will take the crown of the largest shopping mall in Europe within an urban area from the Manchester Arndale, and be the third largest shopping centre in the UK behind MetroCentre and Bluewater. The completed centre will feature around 270 stores, including Debenhams, Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Next and a Cinema de Lux multiplex cinema. Other retailers speculated to be in negotiations include House of Fraser[2] and Barneys New York [3].
Two new stations will serve the centre. A new London Underground station is being built on the Hammersmith and City Line at Wood Lane [4]. There will also be a new railway station on the West London Line which lies to the east of the site.
