Westfield Stratford City Opens as Largest Mall In Europe

Westfield has opened what some say is the largest shopping mall in Europe at Stratford City. It was officially opened its doors to the public in east London on Tuesday 13th September 2011.  It is 9 million square feet in size. On its three floors it houses more than 300 shops, 70 dining places, a 17 screen cinema, UK’s largest casino, three hotels, a bowling alley, a permanent art gallery, and many more features.

It is so large that it has been given its own postcode, E20. There’s parking for 5,000 cars but trains and tubes to Stratford stop right outside the mall
