Shops, Fashion & Sports
Shopping
Acton High Street has a good choice of shops for your everyday purchases, so popping out for a paper or a few necessities will never be a problem. For more serious shopping, Ealing is the nearest big centre, where all the big names and many smaller retailers cluster around The Broadway. Nearby Chiswick High Road also offers a great range of shops and boutiques.
Residents at West 3 London Apartments now also have a state of the art 1.6 million sq ft shopping centre within easy reach, with the opening of the Westfield Centre in nearby Shepherd's Bush.
More than just a shopper's paradise, the Westfield Centre benefits from a brand new tube station at Wood Lane, 47 restaurants and a 14 screen cinema, providing a social and leisure hub just 10 minutes from West 3 London Apartments by tube. The focus is on quality, with the centre containing over 280 stores, including top names such as Versace, Hugo Boss and Louis Vuitton, as well as high street names. Plus there are the added benefits of home delivery, concierge and stylist services.
Other local improvements resulting from the £200m investment will include:
- A rebuilt Shepherd's Bush Central line station, with a new enlarged ticket hall, brand new escalators for the first time in 80 years, and enhancement so that the station will cope with the increased demand that will follow the opening of the Westfield centre
- A new fully accessible White City bus station, next to the new Wood Lane Tube station, capable of carrying 10,000 passengers every day
- A brand new, fully accessible Overground station on the Willesden Junction to Clapham Junction line, offering passengers a North-south rail link at Shepherd's Bush
- A refurbished and improved White City Central line station
- Four new cycle routes and 570 secure cycle parking spaces around the site
- Upgraded pedestrian access with new crossings around the whole site
Boris Johnson said: 'This is a fantastically exciting day for West London, which - with its incredibly impressive new shopping centre and gleaming new transport facilities - will now become a major destination well and truly on the London map".
