It is located at the southwest corner of Wellington Road and Bradley Avenue, just north of Highway 401. LocationWhite Oaks is located in South London, adjacent the arterial Wellington Road. It is serviced by the following bus routes operated by the London Transit Commission, two terminals at Jalna Boulevard which provide bus routes 4A, 4B and 26 and 4 terminals at the Wellington Road entrance which provide bus routes 10, 13, 13A, 14, 30 and 90. The mall is expected to be the southern terminus of one route on the planned London Rapid Transit system.[1] HistoryBeginningsThe property on which the mall is now located was originally occupied by a small outdoor plaza, built in 1962, before major development began in the surrounding neighborhoods. In 1972, the plaza was completely rebuilt to make way for expansion. It became a fully enclosed shopping center in 1973, anchored by Woolco in addition to 40 stores.[2] ExpansionsThe mall's first major expansion in 1976 brought in a Simpson's department store. Over the years, the mall saw further growth as it competed with other shopping centers in London. A food court was added which replaced the Loblaw's grocery store, and over 50 stores were added in 1989.{{cn|date=June 2016}} TodayWhite Oaks saw a small expansion in 2006 which brought in Swedish retailer H&M along with an Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar.[3] In 2010 CPP Investment Board became the sole owner of the mall, until the property, along with two other regional malls, was acquired by Bentall Kennedy in 2013.[4] Since Bentall Kennedy's ownership, the mall has seen further renovation, including decorative changes. There are over 185 stores and services in the mall.[5] CriticismsThe mall has received some criticism in recent years for forcing out independent stores. This included the gift-shop Durga, which had been a tenant with the mall for 26 years.[6] Similarly, Logo Sports was also denied a lease renewal in 2014 after 25 years at the mall. Logo was replaced by a competing franchise.[7] See also
