Westwood is a village and retail estate in Thanet district of Kent, England, and 1.9 miles (3.1 km) south of Margate.

[2] A 2015 car park collapse beneath the Westwood Cross Primark store revealed underground tunnels believed to have been constructed during World War I training exercises.

Researchers suggested they were subsequently used as air raid shelters for servicemen at the hospital and then sealed up.

[3][4] The village became a focus for retail development towards the end of the 20th century, and is now one of four designated Town Centres in Thanet.

[6] Entertainers Kate and Harry Rickards had a country home called "Westwood Lodge" in the village in the early 1900s.
