Westfield: A Sydney Love Story (or Maybe an Obsession?)
Let's be honest, Sydney and Westfield go together like Vegemite and toast (though, perhaps a more universally loved comparison would be like sunshine and beaches... but hey, Vegemite is an acquired taste, right?). You can't walk a block in the CBD without stumbling upon a Westfield entrance. There's one under the iconic Sydney Tower, another seemingly attached to your hip... okay, maybe that's an exaggeration (but not entirely).
The point is, Westfield's got Sydney covered. From designer havens to high-street steals, there's a Westfield for every shopper's fancy (and budget).
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
But Seriously, Folks... How Many Westfields Are There?
Alright, alright, enough with the dramatics. You came here for the answer, and here it is: As of June 2024, there are 10 Westfield shopping centres gracing the Sydney landscape. That's right, 10! That's more Westfields than there are fingers and toes on most people (unless you're a mutant, in which case, kudos to your extra appendages and happy shopping!).
Here's a quick rundown of the Westfield Squad:
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
- Westfield Bondi Junction: The OG, the trendsetter, the one that started it all.
- Westfield Parramatta: Sydney's west-side wonder.
- Westfield Chatswood: Where the North Shore goes to splurge (or maybe just window shop).
- Westfield Hurstville: The southern star, shining bright with retail therapy options.
- Westfield Liverpool: Proving there's Westfield life outside the city centre.
- Westfield Miranda: The Shire's shopping haven.
- Westfield Burwood: Inner west style, Westfield edition.
- Westfield Hornsby: Retail therapy for the leafy suburbs.
- Westfield Eastgardens: Beach vibes meet designer digs.
- Westfield Sydney: The city's central shopping hub, right underneath the Sydney Tower (because, why not?).
So, there you have it! Ten Westfields, ready to fulfill all your shopping desires (or maybe just induce serious retail fatigue).
Important Note: This doesn't include other major shopping centres in Sydney that aren't part of the Westfield family. Sydney, as it turns out, is a city that takes its shopping very seriously.
