Now the largest shopping centre in Europe

Westfield London Phase 2 opened this morning, adding three new digital out-of-home screens to Ocean’s portfolio.

The Gateway @ Westfield London, The Northern Totem @ Westfield London and Westfield Square launched with creative from adidas, Beats, Pandora, Samsung and John Lewis.

Shoppers flocked to the new stores, as Westfield continues to offer the lowest reliance on peak hours than any UK OOH environment.

Those stores running special events included Space NK, adidas, H&M, west elm, BoConcept, Penhaligon’s, The White Company and Emperor (continuing Westfield’s legacy of retail firsts with its first ever UK base), alongside the opening of the flagship John Lewis store, home to 230,000 square feet of retail quality.

Hailed as proof of “the resilience of London” in the face of Brexit, the launch of this second phase of Westfield London brings 80 new shops and restaurants to White City. It will in time host Ichiba (the biggest Japan Centre in Europe) and Putt Shack, a ‘world first’ in social entertainment.

Home to an annual spend of £3.2 billion, Westfield London and Stratford City combined are the second largest UK retail centre; with this Phase 2 expansion, the addition of 1,500 new homes and developments for the BBC and Imperial College we expect this success to continue well into the future.

The launch has been covered in The Times, Evening Standard and The Independent. For an in-depth look at the development, including expected footfall, audience profiles and Westfield records, read our recent Ocean “Talks” article by CMO Richard Malton.
