Westfield Mall is large, well organised and you can find many of the large convenient stores here. We visited on a rainy afternoon and had a good time strolling around the little shops and big stores, trying hand made soaps and consmetics and simply having coffee and a donut for a break.
You could come here alone as well as with family and kids or with friends. Many restaurants offer something tasty for everyone and you can enjoy your meal together in the common food court. Obviously there is a massive parking lot infront of the mall, should be easy to travel here by car.

The stores were all up scale and spending. The mall was full of life and it was great seeing people shopping and tryin to make life normal again. The mall was clean and there were workers making sure the at everyone was social distancing and that the clean precautions were being upheld by the patrons.

My family and I are some what new to Florida. We live about a half hour away from this mall, but decided to drive down today to go out for lunch and check things out. Despite it's drive, this is probably the most attractive mall we've visited in our area.
After eating at a restaurant on the mall grounds for lunch, we strolled through the interior to have a look. We are not big shoppers, but enjoy a nice place to walk around. Here is some more information about our visit:
Pros:
-Great play area for toddlers!
-An actual food court that has plenty of quick dine restaurants to choose from!
-An ice skating rink.
-Theater.
-Clean and well maintained.
-Unique stores, not just the typical "mall" stores
Cons:
-The annoying sales people in the corridors where you can't even walk by peacefully. This must be a requirement when building a mall.
-There is an elevator in the center of the mall and on one end, but they really need another elevator on the opposite end, especially because they prohibit strollers on the escalators. When you find yourself at the end and want to go upstairs or down, you have to backtrack to the center. Then eventually you'll have to do that again after you are done with the other level.
Overall the above cons are relatively minor. We appreciated a nice, clean place to enjoy. I can't speak for what a Friday night crowd looks like, but for a weekday early afternoon, it was pleasant. The only thing we wish is that it was a little closer to us.
A couple of things you might find helpful:
1. If you take in a movie, save your receipt. You can get a same day discount on some of the on-site restaurants.
2. Free valet is available for dining at P.F. Changs or Grimaldi's. Otherwise it's $4.
3. The mall offers services I found out later such as close parking for expectant mothers and those with small children. There is also a family lounge with toys, TV, nursing area and baby changing stations. Love the family friendliness!
I will be adding pictures of our visit including both interior and exterior.

Most of the time I visit this mall is to go to the PF Chang, which is accessible from the parking lot. The block stores are Dillard's, JCPenney's, and Macy's and they seem to be stocked with mid-range items (if you want higher end shopping, head to International Plaza in Tampa). Other stores such as Jos. A. Bank are well appointed, and the typical other mall shops are there such as Disney and Bath and Body Works. A number of stores have closed and so there are empty spaces. Parking can sometimes be challenging. One neat thing about this mall is the indoor ice skating rink with a Starbucks adjacent to it.

Yes, it's true! You can ice skate in this Florida Mall!! It's also great to watch people ice skate. This mall now has a Cobb Movie theater, train ride for small kids and a Whole Foods Market as well as several major restaurants like PF Chang's! I've been visiting this mall for 30 years and it has grown and changed a lot! It's not too big that you get lost but it has all the stores you're looking for too. Great for small kids, teens, adults and seniors.

If you are in the Clearwater area then the Westfield mall is certainly worth a visit. All the usual big stores are here as well as some smaller stores that are worth a look. The food hall gives lots of choice and has plenty of seating. Most unusual of all, there is a small ice skating rink - just what you need on a hot Florida day!

Went Christmas shopping and was somewhat disappointed. This place is not what it used to be!!! With the exodus of the big box stores (Sears, and planned closure of Macy's which has declared bankruptcy and shuttering of its stores...) this mall has significantly less to offer going forward. It used to be much more upscale in the days of old (even had a Tiffany's ) but the slow decline in on site retail in malls has impacted not only this mall but others just like it area wide (Westshore in Tampa is prime example) and nationally. On line shopping with outfits like Amazon and other retailers (Barnes and Noble, Lands End, Zulilly...) are eroding mall business at an increasing pace. And I don't believe for the better! Oh well some call this progress!!! I'm not convinced!!!

We were at Dimmitt waiting for our car, they had their driver drop us at the mall for lunch, so we could eat and get do something other than sitting and waiting. We had Lunch at Red Robin, and enjoyed a couple hours of browsing through the stores..

This mall has been here forever. My daughter use to frequent the ice skating rink. With a few hours to kill on a rainy day with my grandson, the mall became an amusement park.
First, the skating ring. He had a great time, although not too successful at mastering the blades on his first time out. Too bad they don't offer ring use for an hour instead of all day. It's $16 a day with blade rental.
Off to the bungee jump. More fun! $8 for a few minutes of fun and we'll worth it.
Finally, a movie. We tried out the D-box seating for the first time. Seats that move with the action were pretty cool. There's nothing cheap about going to the movies anymore, but what the heck another $8 a ticket for the D-box seating.

There are several bus stops and underground tube stations around Westfield depending where you come from: for Central line there is a station and opposite is a major bus station. For District and Central line there is either Shepherd's Bush or White city tube stations with buses nearby. Check them on Google maps or TfL.gov.uk

There's a Hallmark store on the lower level that sells packaged wedding cards but, as far as I know, none individually printed for a particular couple.
