Westfield to build indoor ski slope next to Olympic Park
Westfield is planning to build an indoor ski slope adjacent to its shopping centre next to the Olympic Park in east London, London Mayor Boris Johnston has revealed.
The shopping centre operator will submit a planning application to LLDC by the end of the summer for a major leisure attraction on the site which will include London’s first indoor ski facility.
The new ski centre will be more than double size of other ski facilities in the UK and be comparable in size with Ski Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The planning application is also expected to include retail, hotel and restaurant opportunities.
Johnson said: “Stratford’s status as a stunning new destination is confirmed by Westfield’s plans for a world-class indoor ski centre. This underscores the massive confidence in this area from investors which is delivering a real pay back for taxpayers in terms of jobs and the regeneration of East London.”
