I have visited Westfield shopping centre on a few occasions, either on my own, with my husband, or with a young child. Travelling to Westfield by public transport is easy. The Shepherd's Bush central line station is just outside and there appears to be a number of bus stops nearby.

When walking inside it is clear that top brands have put a lot of money into making their stores look visuall stunning, for example All Saints have hundreds of antique-looking sewing machines in their windows.

Paper mall guides are available at the front desk, however because the Mall is so big the paper guide may be a bit difficult to decipher. Electronic touchscreen maps are located throughout the centre and have varying heights for accessibility, although they don't always work properly.

The shopping centre is heated well, i've always ended up taking of my coat in there, even when it's been freezing outside! There are seating areas dotted around the place, this varies from low leather-style seating to bucket-chair style seating. Probably not great for those with mobility problems who struggle to get out of low/deep chairs, but perfect for my two year old to sit for a break.

I would say that this shopping centre is relatively calm most of the time, and the size means that there always seems to be plenty of room to walk about. If taking young children then I would just add that it is quite a long walk to get around all the shops, and there are no fast-food outlets e.g. Macdonalds, KFC, Burger King.

A definate positive for me... the toilet facilities are fabulous! There is luxury toilet paper (having toilet paper can be a luxury in other places!), a spray to clean the toilet, and nice hand-drying facilities. Best of all they always seem to be clean.

The shopping centre doesn't look much different now to when it first opened a few months ago, still very clean and shiny!
