"Westfield has revealed it is looking to submit a planning application for the extension of its Westfield London shopping centre in White City later this year.

"A 20-acre site to the north of the shopping centre is expected to be developed as a mixed-use site, comprising retail and residential space.

"It is thought Westfield could be in talks with John Lewis about occupying space in the extension. John Lewis is currently fitting out its 240,000 sq ft anchor store at Westfield’s new Stratford shopping centre."
