Westfield London is a large shopping centre in White City, developed by the Westfield Group at the cost of 1.6 billion British pounds. It opened on the 30th of October 2008 and became the largest covered shopping development in the capital with a retail floor area of 1.6 million sq ft. Further investment and expansion led to it becoming Europe's largest shopping centre by March 2018, with an area of 2.6 million sq ft.
The initial plan for a shopping centre at this location was developed by a consortium, the largest company involved being the UK division of Australian property company Multiplex. However, due to heavy financial losses in other ventures, including the construction of the new Wembley Stadium, Multiplex was forced to sell its stake to the Westfield Group.
