Westfield Stratford City has welcomed over one million people through the doors since opening last week.
"We are overwhelmed by the response from our consumers who have flocked to the newly opened Westfield Stratford City," said Michael Gutman, managing director Westfield UK, Europe and New Markets. "In the first seven days over one million people have already experienced the new centre and the transport infrastructure, both road and rail, has performed superbly."
Westfield London took 10 days to hit the one million mark in comparison to Westfield Stratford City which saw 200,000 visitors flood through the doors on opening day and over 150,000 each weekday thereafter.
On Saturday, Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding made her debut modeling performance at the Look Magazine Show at Westfield Stratford City as part of London Fashion Week.
Sarah showcased a selection of outfits by Warehouse and Miss Selfridge whilst Dionne Bromfield sung her single Yeah Right. Both performances were watched by a celebrity crowd including Kelis, Alesha Dixon, Matt Cardle, Laura Whitmore and Pearl Lowe.
Harding’s final Miss Selfridge outfit sold out in the Westfield branch within minutes of the show, which was streamed live on Facebook, finishing.
High street brands showcasing their latest collections included Miss Selfridge, Urban
Outfitters, Next, Monsoon, Forever 21, New Look, River Island, Warehouse, Office,
H&M, Mango, Oasis and Dorothy Perkins with hair styled by Toni & Guy.
The event also celebrated the launch of Look’s Style Search, a six-week search for the most stylish male and female visiting the new shopping and entertainment centre.
