Westfield London is a big shopping centre in White City, west London, England, made by the Westfield Group at a cost of £1.6bn,[2][3] on a brownfield area previously the home of the 1908 Franco-British Exhibition. The area is near the West Cross Route (A3220), the Westway (A40) and Wood Lane (A219). It opened on 30 October 2008 during the financial crisis and soon became the largest shopping centre in London.[4] Originally, it had a shopping floor area of 1,600,000 sq ft (150,000 m2).[5] But with more money put into the shopping centre, it became the largest shopping centre in Europe by March 2018, having an area of 2,600,000 sq ft (240,000 m2).[6]

Department stores John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, and House of Fraser are at the bottom of the shopping centres. Debenhams closed down in April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
