Westfield / Kidzania

A major shopping centre in west London’s Shepherd’s Bush, Westfield covers an area that is thought to be the equivalent of around 30 football pitches. Well-known for its vast size, Westfield became the largest shopping centre in Europe after expansion work was completed in early 2018.

The complex contains everything from popular high-street shops to upmarket designer stores and even leading supermarkets. One of Westfield’s biggest attractions is KidZania, one of over 20 worldwide indoor family entertainment centres. KidZania is a child-sized replica of a modern city which allows children to role-play as adults. Kids are able to work in theatres and shops and earn fake currency. Children are provided with electronic bracelets that allow their parents keep track of their location while they’re exploring Westfield’s other attractions.
