Westfield Stratford City[5] is a shopping centre in Stratford, East London, which opened on 13 September 2011.[6][7] With a total retail floor area of 1,910,000 square feet (177,000 m2),[3] it is the largest urban shopping centre in the UK by land area and the 4th-largest shopping centre in the UK by retail space, behind Westfield London (White City), the MetroCentre, and the Trafford Centre. [8][9][10]

Originally fully owned by the Westfield Group, in November 2010 ABP Pension Fund and CPP Investment Board each purchased a 25% shareholding, with Westfield retaining 50%.[11] Westfield's holding is now owned by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield following Unibail-Rodamco's acquisition of Westfield Corporation in 2018.

Westfield Stratford City is adjacent to the London Olympic Park, International Quarter London, East Village, Stratford Regional and Stratford International stations. The shopping centre is part of a large multi-purpose development project called Stratford City. It is promoted as contributing significantly to the local economy, with the creation of up to 10,000 permanent jobs including 2,001 going to local people.[5] However, there are counter-reports of significant harm to other local businesses due to the preponderance of chain stores.[12]

The site was formerly occupied by Stratford Works and Locomotive Depot.
