Westfield

Just before Christmas I visited the new Westfield store which is located in White City, Shepherds Bush.



The experience began when I stepped of the train. The whole surrounding area has been reworked from the pavements to the buildings to the trees, plants etc. It feels as if walking in to a picture everything looks so perfect and new.

The design of the building is quite extraordinary when entering Westfield you feel like your leaving the world behind and stepping into the future. The outer shell is very impressive and almost has a Buckminster fuller feel to it with the interior housing a fascinating wooden structure.





They have managed to capture this luxurious futuristic feel with all the high-end retail stores being present and each offering a design experience of their own.



The touch screen monitors in the main complex offer you information on all the stores and where they’re all located and the small cafes individually placed throughout the complex also fit in with the design of the building.

Unfortunately I didn’t get chance to look around it all but will definitely be going back, a great experience all in all.
