Westfield Stratford Review
Shoppers Vs Retailers
Despite the declining appeal of high street shopping. Westfield statford offers excellent and diverse shopping options
However, the layout seems to favour the retailers and not the shopper.
The amount of seating is disproportionate to the footfall and amount of shopping outlets.
The shopping aisles seem narrow and claustrophobic.
You can find a place to stop and rest near the toilets beside the upper food court. As spaces are always being made available, by people moving on after waiting for their family or friends to use the WC
Toilets are immaculately kept and always clean.
Brilliant and spacious family rooms and free water fountains.
It's a shame the performance of the retailers lets Westfield down.
Behind the fancy shopfronts and big names, the shopping experience is poor.
You're better off finding a nice comfortable place to sit and shopping online.
Shopping staff do not know enough about the products they sell. That's if you can find a member of staff to help you.
They simply process your purchase and that's it. You might as well buy online, with that level of service.
The lower food court have more affordable options. You can't find a seat near the affordable mcdonald's. If you're wealthy or are having and extravagant day, you will probably find somewhere good to eat.
The shopping experience is not as enjoyable as it used to be. But this is not down to Westfield, but the retailers.
Primark and John Lewis are the stars of Westfield, but at opposite ends of the shopping experience.
With Primark, it cheap and cheerful, you get what you pay for.
With john Lewis, staff actually say hello to you and are available to help and answer questions. Old fashioned shopping experience.

Westfield Stratford City was the first shopping mall I've visited in the UK. It was a bleak Monday night with clear skies and cool air. My parents and I, along with my aunt Cicely, rode the tube from South Kensington to Stratford for our first soccer match experience in England. It was the English Premier League match between West Ham United and Brentford at the London Olympic Stadium. Once we walked inside the mall, it looked pretty reminiscent of any large shopping mall we’ve visited in America (like the Tysons Corner Center in the Washington D.C. area, for instance). We didn't have much time to check out any of their stores, but we ate our pregame dinner at the food court. I had the BBQ Chicken Melts from Pizza Hut Express. They were really good. The food court also has great fast food restaurants like Bunsik, Popeyes, McDonald’s, etc.

The mall is conveniently located and the closest one to me, so I visit quite often. However, it is frequently extremely busy, and it can be very difficult to find somewhere to sit if you just want a quick bite to eat.
Over the years, some of the better shops, such as & Other Stories, have closed, and many of the replacements feel more like fast‑fashion, cheaper brands, which I do not enjoy.
Overall it is a good mall with potential, but it could be so much better with a stronger mix of quality retailers and more comfortable seating areas.

Westfield Stratford is a well-organized and convenient shopping centre with a great variety of stores and food options. The atmosphere is lively, the facilities are clean, and it’s easy to navigate. Overall, a pleasant place to shop and spend time.

Westfield Stratford City, located at Montfichet Rd, London E20 1EJ, is one of the largest shopping centres in Europe. It offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options including a cinema and bowling. The mall is modern, clean, and well-connected by public transport. Parking is available but can get busy on weekends. Great place for shopping, dining, and leisure all in one spot.
