| White City Stadium - now site of Westfields Shopping Centre.
Had more pleasure watching the speedway in the mid-'70s than ever derived from the shopping experience here... |

I rather think that the stadium became the site of the short-lived BBC Media Village from 2004. The BBC have now vacated most of the site and the site owners are looking for new occupants. The Westfield Shopping Centre is built over the old Central London Railway depot at the middle right of the picture. |

Westfield Shopping Centre was built on the site of a Franco-British exhibition ground, and the nick name was 'The White City' because it was built out of white cement and concrete. The entrance, minus its towers was just off the roundabout past the Central Line Underground Station. I used to ask my Dad what the funny building was, but he didn't know. The site later housed vast factories where they manufactured the canopies for air ships. |
