Since opening in 2011, Westfield Stratford City has become the UK’s leading retail and leisure destination, attracting 50 million visitors annually. Home to over 315 stores and 80 dining outlets, it showcases leading brands including JD Sports, John Lewis & Partners, Gymshark, and Sephora while pioneering nearly 40 retail and leisure concepts.
A major leisure destination for East London, the centre features three hotels, the UK’s largest All Star Lanes, a 20-screen Vue cinema, London’s largest casino by Aspers, and the immersive entertainment experience Gravity MAX. As a key part of East London’s regeneration and a lasting legacy of the 2012 Olympics, it plays a vital role in the area’s £25 billion transformation.
Beyond retail and leisure, Westfield Stratford City is committed to driving positive community impact. In partnership with the London Borough of Newham, it co-founded The Skills Place Newham, a retail academy managed by Seetec to combat long-term unemployment. The centre is also a Founding Partner and Official Sponsor of East Bank, supporting employment, education, and training in East London. Additionally, through its partnership with the Foundation for Future London, it launched the Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund - a £10 million, five-year initiative aimed at creating 19,000 jobs and expanding opportunities in arts, culture, and innovation.
Leading the way in sustainable urban retail, Westfield Stratford City operates its own Combined Cooling and Heating Power (CCHP) plant, underscoring its commitment to environmental responsibility and setting a benchmark for future developments.
