Shoppers can indulge in over 85 food and beverage national and independent outlets at Westfield Stratford City, serving a variety of cuisines including Caribbean, Mexican and Italian.
Kate Orwin, Leasing Director UK, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, says: “Our recent How We Shop research revealed that over half of UK consumers are looking to spend more locally than last year, which is why we’re pleased to continue supporting local businesses and helping them reach new audiences at our centres. Thunderbird Fried Chicken is a great example of how London’s street food market has thrived – making it one of the most exciting in the world – and we’re excited to be hosting these independent eateries and continue attracting the best and most innovative brands to our centres.”
