The Modern Face of the White City; Westfield London

Shepherd’s Bush was known with its market, White City, historical background and the cosmopolitan inhabitants until the opening of Westfield London. The shopping center cost for 1,7 billion pounds and changed the face of the surrounding when opened. And the mall is the largest urban area indoor shopping centre in Europe.

Some of the Westfield’s stores are; Miu Miu, Dior, Prada, Apple, All Saints, Fred Perry, Henley’s, Armani Exchange, Hugo Boss, Ugg, Tiffany & Co, De Beers, Carat...

And some Turkish stylish brands Machka (one of my favorites), Ipekyol and Desa.


Being in this big shopping center, in a historic, street living culture and arts city made me feel that I am living in the animation movie Wall-E. (minimum energy, maximum consumption)
We cant know Westfield’s effects on the traditional texture of the city, but the center is really vivid in spite of the credit crunch with people at the champagne bar, and people with UGG shopping bags...

Take the District Line and use the Shepherd's Bush's Westfield exit for the center.
