Westwood Cross is a shopping centre at Westwood in Thanet, Kent. It is circled by Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate. It was built by Carillion and opened in June 2005.
Westwood Cross main shopping centre consists of an open pedestrianised arcade occupied mostly by High Street shops. The shopping centre consists of 46 store spaces occupying an area of 475,000 sq ft (44,100 m2), and there are 1,500 parking spaces. There are two anchor stores, Debenhams and Marks and Spencer.
In October 2007 an entertainment development opened on a site to the southwest of Westwood Cross. This development comprises four restaurants, a Vue multiplex cinema (opened in November 2007), a casino (opened March 2008), and Mecca bingo hall (opened February 2008).
Phase Two of Westwood Cross was completed in April 2010, following the relocation of the Wickes store, which formerly stood beside the bus station. This addition to the centre includes several new retail units and space for up to three restaurants along with extra parking. As of April 2010 only two of the new units have been leased and the others stand empty.
Neighbouring developments include East Kent Retail Park (Matalan, Staples, Harveys Furniture, and Pets at Home) and Westwood Gateway Retail Park (Argos, Paul Simon, Homebase, Maplin Electronics and Sports World). Both sites are owned by Hammerson.
