The centre opened on 13 September 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Launch date announced for Mega Mall )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Westfield Stratford City: Opening date )〕 With a total retail floor area of ,〔 it is one of the largest urban shopping centres in Europe. It is the third-largest shopping centre in the United Kingdom by retail space behind the MetroCentre and the Trafford Centre. Taking the surrounding shopping area into account, it is the largest urban shopping centre in the European Union in terms of size. Originally fully owned by the Westfield Group, in November 2010 ABP Pension Fund and CPP Investment Board each purchased a 25% shareholding with Westfield retaining 50%. Westfield Stratford City is adjacent to the London Olympic Park, East Village, Stratford Regional and Stratford International stations. The shopping centre is part of a large multi-purpose development project called Stratford City. It is promoted as contributing significantly to the local economy, with the creation of up to 10,000 permanent jobs, including 2,001 jobs going to people in the local area.〔 However, there are counter-reports of the centre having a significantly negative impact on local businesses due to the preponderance of chain stores. Westfield Stratford City has been reported to be the first large-scale use of Pavegen floor tiles to harness kinetic energy. In July 2012, a number of banners in Arabic welcoming shoppers for the Olympics were found to be translated incorrectly. The site was formerly occupied by Stratford Works and Locomotive Depot. ==Retail area== The shopping centre is anchored by a John Lewis department store, a Waitrose supermarket, a Marks & Spencer department store, a 24-hour casino (Aspers) and a seventeen screen all-digital Vue cinema. The shopping centre also has a 267-room Premier Inn hotel,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Premier Inn News Release )〕 and another hotel with 350 rooms.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Masterplan )〕 The shopping centre has approximately 280 stores and 70 restaurants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=What's here )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Westfield Stratford City Sign Inditex Trio )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Westfield Stratford City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
