Westfield is launching a new health and wellness destination at its west London shopping mall in response to shifting customer demand.
Westfield London in Shepherd’s Bush has allocated 50,000 sq ft of space on the upper level of its luxury brands area The Village in what it described as “a major milestone in the centre’s evolution”. .
New openings at the hub, called Health & Wellness at The Village, already trading include Betterview, a laser eye surgery clinic, which launched in August 2024, while private pharmacy group Prince Pharmacy, is in the final stages of preparing a flagship branch for launch.
StretchLAB will unveil a 1,462 sq. ft. space in April offering “personalised one-on-one assisted stretching to enhance mobility and flexibility.”
