Westfield expects construction to take place in phases over a period of up to nine years.
"Westfield has had a transformational impact on Shepherds Bush and White City, kickstarting widespread social and economic regeneration. This expansion will create thousands of much-needed new homes and jobs and ensure that the area remains one of West London's leading shopping destinations for many years to come", said the mayor in a statement.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council resolved to grant outline planning permission for the redevelopment in April. Construction is expected to commence next year.
