Cabot Circus And Westfield London Feast On Hungry Shoppers

摘要

Every property developer promises great benefits from any new centre, but I've long been convinced that very rarely does a development actually add to retail sales. It merely redistributes what's already there. Cannibalisation is the technical term, I believe.This theory came to my mind several times as I checked out the two big openings of the autumn season, Cabot Circus in Bristol and Westfield London at Shepherd's Bush.My taxi driverin Bristol was clearly not a fan of the former: 'It's a monstrosity, that's what it is. Them's not Bristol buildings. What a waste of money.'
