Westfield London at White City is open 10.00am to 9.00pm Monday to Saturday and 12.00pm to 6.00pm on Sunday, with the shops trading late to 9.00pm every weekday evening. It is the largest shopping centre in Europe by floor space, gathering more than 300 shops, restaurants and leisure venues under one roof on Ariel Way in Shepherd’s Bush. This guide covers the centre’s opening and closing times across the week, its Sunday hours, the festive and Easter schedules, and the brands worth planning a trip around — from the John Lewis and M&S anchors to the luxury houses in The Village.
If you have searched for Westfield White City rather than Westfield London, you have landed in the right place: it is one centre with two everyday names, and the hours are the same whichever you use.
Westfield London Opening Hours
The standard weekly hours below apply outside the festive period and a handful of bank holidays. They are the centre’s published mall hours; individual shops, the restaurants and the cinema can open earlier or close later, so treat these as the reliable frame rather than a guarantee for any single store.
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | 10.00am – 9.00pm |
| Tuesday | 10.00am – 9.00pm |
| Wednesday | 10.00am – 9.00pm |
| Thursday | 10.00am – 9.00pm |
| Friday | 10.00am – 9.00pm |
| Saturday | 10.00am – 9.00pm |
| Sunday | 12.00pm – 6.00pm |
Saturday is the busiest day, with the crowds heaviest between noon and 4.00pm; the calmest hour is the first, from 10.00am. On a weekday the evening is the gentlest time to browse, particularly the last couple of hours after 7.00pm.
Correct as of June 2026. Hours are set by the operator and change for seasonal and brand-specific reasons — please check the official Westfield London opening hours page before you travel.
Westfield London Shops on Sunday: Opening Hours
Westfield London opens at noon on Sunday and closes at 6.00pm. The six-hour day is not the operator’s choice but the law: under the Sunday Trading Act, any shop larger than 280 square metres — which is most of the centre — may trade for only six continuous hours on a Sunday. Westfield uses a noon-to-six window rather than an earlier start, which keeps the doors open through the busy mid-afternoon.
A few corners run to a different clock. The food court, the restaurants on the Southern Terrace and the Vue cinema all keep longer Sunday hours, so a late lunch or an early-evening film is perfectly possible after the shops have shut. Sunday is also the quietest of the weekend days for browsing, with the first hour after opening the calmest of all.
Key Westfield London Store Hours
The headline shops broadly follow the centre’s hours, but a handful sit just outside that frame — the supermarket opens earlier, the cinema runs far later. The table gives the typical pattern for some of the most-asked-about names; confirm directly with the retailer if you are making a special trip.
| Store | Typical hours (confirm for a special trip) |
|---|---|
| John Lewis & Partners | Follows centre hours: Mon–Sat 10.00am–9.00pm, Sun 12.00pm–6.00pm |
| M&S | Broadly centre hours; the foodhall may open a little earlier |
| Primark | Mon–Sat 10.00am–9.00pm, Sun 12.00pm–6.00pm |
| Waitrose & Partners (Southern Terrace) | Opens earlier than the mall and runs longer on Sunday — check in store |
| Vue cinema (top floor) | Open to the last screening every night, well beyond the shops |
Typical patterns only, correct as of June 2026 — individual stores set their own hours and vary them seasonally. Confirm with the retailer before a dedicated trip.
Westfield London Christmas & Boxing Day Shopping Hours 2026
Westfield extends its evenings through December, with the longest nights in the fortnight before Christmas. The operator confirms the year’s exact festive hours in late autumn; the table below sets out the verified 2026 dates against the centre’s established festive pattern, so treat the times as the typical shape of the season rather than a published schedule.
| Date | Typical hours (confirm in December) |
|---|---|
| Mid–late December weekdays | 10.00am – 10.00pm |
| Thu 24 Dec (Christmas Eve) | 9.00am – 6.00pm |
| Fri 25 Dec (Christmas Day) | Closed |
| Sat 26 Dec (Boxing Day) | 9.00am – 8.00pm |
| Sun 27 Dec | 12.00pm – 6.00pm |
| Mon 28 – Wed 30 Dec | 10.00am – 9.00pm |
| Thu 31 Dec (New Year’s Eve) | 10.00am – 6.00pm |
| Fri 1 Jan 2027 (New Year’s Day) | 12.00pm – 6.00pm |
Boxing Day is the centre’s busiest sale day, usually opening an hour ahead of the standard time to take the early rush. Sunday 27 December falls under the usual six-hour Sunday rule, so it keeps the noon-to-six window despite the festive week.
Typical festive pattern against the verified 2026 dates, correct as of June 2026 — confirm the published hours on the official Westfield London opening hours page in December.
Westfield London Easter Opening Times and Bank Holidays
At Easter 2027, Good Friday (26 March) and Easter Saturday (27 March) trade on standard hours, often a little later in the evening. Easter Sunday (28 March) is closed for the large stores by law, as it always is. Easter Monday (29 March) returns to the normal 10.00am to 9.00pm. The early May, late May and August bank holiday Mondays likewise run on the standard weekday hours.

The Village gathers the luxury houses — Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Tiffany & Co., Cartier, OMEGA, Longines, Breitling and Bucherer — alongside Coach, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Polo Ralph Lauren and Longchamp, making it the deepest single-roof luxury offer in the capital outside Bond Street.

Westfield London Late-Night Shopping
The whole centre trades to 9.00pm Monday to Saturday as standard, which puts Westfield London among the longest regular evening windows of any UK shopping centre, on a par with Bluewater, Lakeside and its sister site at Stratford. The quietest stretch is consistently the last couple of hours, from around 7.00pm, when the daytime crowds have thinned. The genuine late nights arrive in December, when many days in the run-up to Christmas extend to 10.00pm.
For an evening that runs on past the shops, the Vue cinema on the top floor — one of the largest in Europe, with twenty screens — plays to its last screening every night, and the restaurants on the Southern Terrace keep their kitchens open well into the evening.
Getting to Westfield London
By Tube and rail
The centre is unusually well connected, with three stations on its doorstep: Wood Lane (Hammersmith & City and Circle lines), Shepherd’s Bush (Central line and London Overground) and Shepherd’s Bush Market (Hammersmith & City and Circle). White City on the Central line is a short walk away too.
By car and parking
There are around 4,500 parking spaces across the on-site multi-storey car parks, charged on a sliding scale by length of stay. For satnav, use Ariel Way, London W12 7GF.
By bus
Shepherd’s Bush bus station sits beside the centre, served by routes from across west and central London, including Hammersmith, Notting Hill, Kensington, Acton and Holland Park.
Where to Eat at Westfield London
Dining ranges from the World Food Court for something quick to the sit-down restaurants gathered on the Southern Terrace. Verified names include Wagamama, Five Guys, Honest Burgers, Flat Iron and Ole & Steen, alongside the usual coffee stops. The food court and many of the restaurants keep longer hours than the shops, so they are a reliable option on a Sunday evening once the retail floors have closed.
