Westfield Stratford City [5] is a shopping centre in Stratford, East London , which opened on 13 September 2011.[6] [7] With a total retail floor area of 1,910,000 square feet (177,000 m 2 ),[3] it is the largest urban shopping centre in the UK by land area and the 4th-largest shopping centre in the UK by retail space , behind Westfield London (White City), the MetroCentre , and the Trafford Centre .
[8] [9] [10]
Originally fully owned by the Westfield Group , in November 2010 ABP Pension Fund and CPP Investment Board each purchased a 25% shareholding, with Westfield retaining 50%.[11] Westfield's holding is now owned by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield following Unibail-Rodamco's acquisition of Westfield Corporation in 2018.
Westfield Stratford City is adjacent to the London Olympic Park , International Quarter London , East Village , Stratford Regional and Stratford International stations. The shopping centre is part of a large multi-purpose development project called Stratford City . It is promoted as contributing significantly to the local economy, with the creation of up to 10,000 permanent jobs including 2,001 going to local people.[5] However, there are counter-reports of significant harm to other local businesses due to the preponderance of chain stores.[12]
The site was formerly occupied by Stratford Works and Locomotive Depot .
Retail area
[ edit ]
The shopping centre is anchored by a 240,000 sq ft (22,000 m 2 ) John Lewis department store, a 32,000 sq ft (3,000 m 2 ) Waitrose supermarket, a 136,000 sq ft (12,600 m 2 ) Marks & Spencer department store, a 24-hour casino (Aspers) and a 20 screen all-digital Vue cinema.[13] The shopping centre also has a 267-room Premier Inn hotel,[14] a Holiday Inn with 350 rooms[5] [15] and Staybridge Suites.
The shopping centre has approximately 280 stores and 70 restaurants.[16] [17]
Transport
[ edit ]
To the south of the site lies Stratford station which is served by London Underground 's Central and Jubilee lines, Greater Anglia , Elizabeth line , London Overground , Docklands Light Railway , and a number of c2c services. To the north lies Stratford International station , which is served by Southeastern High Speed and Docklands Light Railway services.
Stratford bus station and Stratford City bus station are served by numerous London Buses routes[18] [19] and National Express and Terravision long-distance services.
According to Westfield, while the site supports a 5,000 space car park, 80% of the shoppers arrive at the centre on public transport.[4]

In January 2012, The X Factor singer Olly Murs filmed a music video for his single "Oh My Goodness " at Westfield Stratford City.[21]
