Browse the luxury houses in the centre's high-end area.
Westfield London in White City opened in 2008 and grew in 2018 to around 300 shops, a luxury quarter called The Village, restaurants and a cinema. Entry is free. Shops trade 10 AM to 9 PM from Monday to Saturday and 12 PM to 6 PM on Sundays, with restaurants and the cinema sometimes later. Shoppers usually spend two to four hours.
Westfield London is a large shopping centre in White City, west London, beside Shepherd's Bush in the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. With about 2.6 million square feet, around 300 shops, a luxury quarter and 4,000 parking spaces, it is one of the largest centres in Europe and suits shoppers, families and anyone wanting a rainy-day option on the Central line.
The land was once part of the site of the 1908 Franco-British Exhibition and later held railway sidings and industrial yards. The Westfield group developed the scheme, which opened on 30 October 2008 with about 1.6 million square feet. Hammersmith and Fulham council approved a northern extension in February 2012; it opened in phases in March and October 2018 and lifted the total to roughly 2.6 million square feet. Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield owns the centre.
The main malls hold high-street fashion, electronics, sports and home brands, with Marks and Spencer and Next among the anchors. John Lewis and Primark opened large stores in the extension. A rippling glass roof, designed with the engineers Knippers Helbig, covers much of the original building. The Village is the luxury quarter, a calmer area of high-end fashion and jewellery houses that also holds a private GP and dental clinic. The directory changes often, so use the centre's map or app to plan a route.
Dining runs from food-court counters to sit-down restaurants, and a Vue cinema has operated since 2010. Toca Social offers a football experience, and the centre hosts seasonal events; in late 2026 these included a Hunger Games exhibition and a Meet Santa experience in December. Children's play areas and Kiddy Cars are available, and Wi-Fi is free.
