Waterstones is coming to Westfield London just in time for Christmas so you will be able to pick up that book a loved one is desperate to read.

The popular bookstore is opening its largest shop since the Tottenham Court Road branch three years ago and this new one is expected to start selling in December.

This will make Waterstones the only specialist bookshop in the shopping centre, following the closure of Foyles, and it comes thanks to a £600 million expansion at Westfield.

James Daunt, managing director at Waterstones, said: “At a grim time for retailers, it is especially welcome to be opening shops.

“Waterstones Westfield, like all our bookshops, will aim to become a real asset within its local community and to bring much pleasure to book buyers.”

Keith Mabbet, from Unibail-Rodamco-Rodamco-Westfield said: "We are sure [Waterstones] will be very popular with our visitors.”
