About Westlands
Westlands is a major commercial and residential district northwest of Nairobi’s Central Business District. It is known for its shopping malls, restaurants, nightlife and corporate offices. Sarit Centre and Westgate are among its well-known landmarks.
The name Westlands is also used broadly for nearby places. Administratively, Westlands Constituency has five wards: Kitisuru, Parklands/Highridge, Karura, Kangemi and Mountain View. Lavington, Kileleshwa and Kilimani are nearby Nairobi areas, but they are not among those Westlands Constituency wards.
Parklands, next to the Westlands commercial district, is home to major hospitals including Aga Khan University Hospital and MP Shah Hospital. Post-office names and constituency boundaries do not establish the postal-code coverage for every nearby address.
