Time Out says

The 'city within a city', Westfield's £1.45 billion retail behemoth snakes through the Olympic site, with over 250 retail units – the cornerstones of which are gigantic versions of High Street brands John Lewis, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose – 80 restaurants, bars and cafés, and a 17-screen digital cinema. So far, mega-mall, but Westfield Stratford City has attempted to be lead a little by its east London neighbours, looking inwards to the creative hubs of Shoreditch and Hoxton (rather than outwards to Romford and Billericay).

It launched with projects such as Studio East – an industry panel that included Roland Mouret, Tracey Emin, Tom Dixon and Erin O'Connor – and gave opportunities to young British creatives, awarding them opportunities to create uniforms, lighting systems, public art and environmental projects for the Westfield Stratford City site. A fresh food market, The Great Eastern Market is a hub for small, independent producers enjoying a guaranteed customer-base. Westfield projected a phenomenal footfall of 10 million during the Olympics in 2012 – in a stroke of planning genius, the route to the former Olympic Stadium passes right through the centre of Stratford City. Footfall has now reached 47 million FYI.

What’s on

London Eid at Westfield

  • Festivals

This massive culmination of culture is marking its fifth consecutive year this April, and for the first time ever, both Westfield locations will be hosting the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. Both of the three-day weekenders will be packed to the rafters with Halal food stalls and ops to get stuck into some brilliant workshops, so make sure you’re one of the 300,000 expected to head through those doors.  Much like previous years, there’ll be concessions of fashion, children’s books and boutique items, as well as Henna stations and live choir performances. However, in an exciting edition, award-winning artist Maaida Noor (who has collaborated with the likes of Dior and Harrods in the past) will be running watercolour workshops, where each participant will get to experiment with colours and techniques.
