London Designer Outlet is a semi-outdoor shopping centre in Wembley Park, north-west London. The centre officially opened on 24 October 2013 as part of the 87-acre Wembley Park Redevelopment project.[3] The development cost £65 million and is located next to Wembley Stadium. The retail space of the shopping centre is 350,000 sq ft.[4]

London Designer Outlet was created to anchor Wembley Park’s placemaking strategy and kick-start the site’s transformation into a living destination worth visiting every day. Unusually for a large-scale redevelopment, the retail and leisure element led the scheme, rather than residential.

The Outlet Centre has over 80 stores and 20 restaurants and coffee shops providing 2,000 covers and a 9-screen, 1,800 seat Cineworld cinema. BREEAM Retail gave it a ‘Very Good’ rating as well as a ‘Very Positive’ on Brent’s Sustainable Development Checklist.[6]
