Westfield shopping centers are
among the biggest in the United Kingdom, both located in the London Metropolitan area. Westfield Stratford City is currently the more prominent of the two in terms of its selling space and the retail sales it generates, as their 2018 numbers reveal.
More traffic at Westfield Stratford City
Westfield Stratford City was opened in 2011 as part of the London 2012 Olympic Park project and is adjacent to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Since then, an overwhelmingly
large number of shoppers visited the shopping center than Westfield’s original London location in Shepherd’s Bush.
Competitive market
With its two branches, Westfield is one of the defining features of the UK shopping center landscape. Yet the sector is a theatre for fierce competition with two other dominant presences: Land Securities and Intu Properties. In addition to managing a large portfolio of shopping centers scattered around the UK, both property groups also distinguish themselves in the
European retail property and shopping center sector.
