Westlands: Nairobi's Commercial and Nightlife Centre
Escort Services · Westlands, Nairobi
Westlands lies north-west of the Central Business District along Waiyaki Way, and over the last thirty years it has become the closest thing Nairobi has to a second city centre. Offices, hotels, malls, restaurants and bars are packed into a relatively small area, and the skyline has been rebuilt so thoroughly that photographs from the 1990s are barely recognisable.
Where Nairobi's Offices Moved
A great deal of Nairobi's corporate and professional activity shifted here as the old Central Business District filled up and aged. Multinationals, law firms, technology companies, banks and the offices that serve them now sit in towers along Westlands Road, Ring Road, Rhapta Road and the streets between, and the daytime population of the district far exceeds the number of people who actually live there. That concentration has pulled hotels and serviced apartments in behind it.
The City's Busiest Night District
Westlands is also where Nairobi goes out. The density of restaurants, bars and clubs in the streets around Woodvale Grove and Mpaka Road has no real equivalent elsewhere in the city, and the area stays busy well past the point at which the rest of Nairobi has gone quiet. It draws people from every part of the metropolitan area, which is both its reputation and its traffic problem.
Getting in and out has improved with the Nairobi Expressway, whose western end sits at the edge of the district, though Waiyaki Way at rush hour remains one of the city's hardest roads. For anyone who works, eats or goes out in Nairobi, Westlands is unavoidable, and that is exactly why it keeps growing upward.
