Travelex Makes a Grand Entrance into Europe’s Fashion Hub
Travelex, the world’s go-to travel‑money guru, has just opened its 67th UK shop inside Westfield London—the sprawling shopping paradise that’s been called the biggest mall in Europe. Think of it: a massive 2.6‑million‑square‑foot retail jungle that sees roughly 21 million people walk through its doors each year, hailing from more than 100 countries.
What the New Bureau Offers
- Full-fledged currency exchange – swap a smorgasbord of foreign bills on the spot.
- Grab a pre‑paid Travelex Money Card – perfect for those who want a hassle‑free top‑up.
- Click‑and‑Collect service – order online and swoop it up when you’re exploring the mall.
- Two ATMs – because who doesn’t need a quick cash grab while on a shopping spree?
Being nestled on the ground floor at the southern entrance means travelers can waltz in, get their money sorted, and then dive straight into the nearest fashion store or snack bar.
Why This Mount‑aintain‑Status‑Quo Matters
Traditionally, Travelex’s style was all about airports and train stations. Now, by slinging open a boutique in one of London’s most iconic retail destinations, they’re expanding their “ever‑ready” network and ensuring no jet‑setter or tourist is left without a friendly cash‑care point.
A Bit About Westfield London
Opened in 2008 after a £1.6 bn, five‑year makeover, Westfield London hosts more than 450 stores and 80 eateries across the map‑shaped mall. Picture this: the place that pulls the crème‑de‑la‑crème (and the bargain‑hunter’s dreams) of shoppers from around the globe.
Travelex’s Growing Footprint
- 20+ fresh Travelex locations sprouting across Europe, Asia‑Pacific, the Middle East, and Brazil.
- New ATM click‑and‑collect slots now glowing at Heathrow, Manchester, and Birmingham airports.
- International revenue has surged by a quarter in the past year—thanks to the rebound in global travel.
