Europe's largest urban shopping centre is due to open in east London later.
Westfield Stratford City is located next to the Olympic Park and will provide the only access to the site for the Games in 2012.
The £1.45bn complex houses more than 300 stores, 70 restaurants, a 14-screen cinema, three hotels, a bowling alley and the UK's largest casino.
Dawnvale were pleased to be involved with this project, creating the 50th TGI Friday’s in the UK. In keeping with its Olympic location, the restaurant and bar are designed in a circular stadium style allowing guests to enjoy the entertainment from Friday’s world-class bartenders.
So far 95% of the centre has been let. It is claimed that up to 8,500 permanent jobs will be created by the retail sector.
The complex will provide the only access to the Olympic Park and large screens will be displayed along the centre's walkways to show the main sporting events.
Bill Giouroukos, director of operations at Westfield, said: "The retail mix we are putting in place at Stratford will be the next chapter in retail development for London."
Mayor of London Boris Johnson, who will help cut the ribbon at the official launch, said the project was "setting the pace for the transformation of east London".
He said: "It is one of the most important legacies of the 2012 Olympics.
