I feel like you can walk the centre for hours as it is relatively massive with a Waitrose, Asian market, food courts, and many more things to see. I will say the ceiling is a little low so it feels small, but once you enter the main plaza, you really see how large this place is. I will admit the map is slightly confusing to comprehend.

It is one of the largest two malls (Alongside Canada Place), and links into Canary Wharf Underground Station. Stores here include: Marks and Spencer Simply Food News On The Wharf The Body Shop News On The Wharf Reiss Marks and Spencer Simply Food For food and drink, you can expect to find most major coffee shops here including Pret, Nero, Starbucks and Leon. There is also a selection of restaurants including Five Guys, Nando's and Wagamama that offer dine-in and delivery. It is fairly modern and clean inside. Obviously, it is made better by the nearby supporting malls, which are all operated by Canary Wharf, but I do find Jubilee Place to be the better choice especially in terms of food and drink. 4*

I asked how he chose this area versus say the London Eye area. He moved in back in spring of 2021. He said he looked around and this was newly developed. The apt building he moved into was beginning to lease units. It's a bit of a hike but not too bad in my book. I'm the ultimate city dweller who appreciates the public transportation life.

This is one of the largest shopping malls in all of Europe and I can totally see why. With over 350 stores and almost 2 million square feet of retail floor space, a shopaholic could go mad in here! I mean, can you imagine? Each time walking in here to explore a different store. I'm a makeup addict, and the first thing that I noticed was that this mall had a Morphe store! They don't have too many Morphe stores in my area, and this one was one of the largest that I've ever seen. I also went into the NYX store which was big and beautiful. The store associates were so sweet! I think they knew that I wasn't from the UK, but they were still really nice. This mall also has a really large food court with tons of options. I found a cute little creperie there where I had breakfast one morning. The Stratford Station is walking distance from the entrance, and the pedestrian bridges make it so easy to access. This mall has everything from luxury retailers to department stores, financial institutions, high end tech shops and even grocery shops. It's gigantic. It's a bit out of the way from Central London but a dream for those who love to shop and explore. I would love to come back one day to explore more of their 300+ shops.

The ICON Outlet does also have a few stores including Nike and Adidas on the lower floor and I think they share the restaurants which are located below - as they are on both the arena and mall's website - but the restaurants were there before the Icon even existed so I'm not sure how that situation works. Many of the stores here are pretty small - most notably the Whittard store but they do have some fairly common house-hold names and designer brands from Ted Baker to Hotel Chocolat. Levi's to Moss Bros. Lindt to Tommy Hilfiger. (For a full list see my photo) Like the arena as the whole, the area was pretty modern and clean. Unlike most outlet stores, I found some of them to actually have higher prices than their highstreet counterparts. - bizarre. I don't really like Outlet malls but as far as this one goes it's A-OK - it isn't really worth a trip out to but if you want to kill some-time before watching a film or seeing a show at the O2, or if you're in the Greenwich area (North Greenwich Tube Station is just outside) it is a cool place to check-out to kill time.

It is one of the two largest shopping centres out of the five, alongside Jubilee Place. It provides access to Canary Wharf Underground Station and the separate DLR station at the other end of the mall. There are many stores here, including a good number of designer brands. Stores with a location here include: Currys PC World Ted Baker Mango Vision Express JD Sports EE HSBC Boots Vodafone iSmash The mall also links into Cabot Place, where there are more places to eat including Pizza Express and Nando's but does feature its' own outlets too including Pret, Starbucks and Lola's Cupcakes. The Amazon Lockers located right by the lift are also super handy! 4* - This has the best selection of shops in Canary Wharf, while food and drink options are slightly lacking, it is supported through Jubilee Place, the separate mall also operated by Canary Wharf Group being directly opposite.

The Brunswick Shopping Centre, just under half a mile from London Euston Station and really close…read moreto Russell Square Underground Station is a small shopping complex in Bloomsbury, London, located between Brunswick Square and Russell Square it is a fairly impressive building with impressive adaptations to make it seem more modern than old. I called in here to grab some food before getting the tube nearby to Wembley Stadium, there was a decent range of shops and places to eat, including brands such as Superdrug, Starbucks and Nandos', and a Waitrose store. Other stores here include Sainsbury's Local, Boots and 3, or if you're feeling hungry there is also the likes of itsu and Gourmet Burger Kitchen, the latter I only found out about after leaving it appeared to be hidden in the centre - shame! The entrance to the centre up a ramp which soon converted part into chairs looked quite dangerous, for me it looked like an accident waiting to happen with no clear lighting or signs to show it, which is why I can't help but wonder how this part of the building passed health and safety, which I can only guess is there down to it being grade II listed. A small selection of shops and places to eat and drink in decent surroundings, slightly quieter than getting something perhaps inside the Euston Station (or the square outside), and perhaps somewhere easy and nearby to go ahead of grabbing a train so it certainly is worthy of a solid three-star rating.

W12 Shopping Centre for me is the older, ugly sister of Westfield London basically across the way,…read morelocated in the Shepherds Bush area of London, this mall has basically sunk into irrelevance being so close to the Westfield mall which opened in 2008, and has recently become Europe's largest shopping centre. The mall just doesn't have that nice, modern vibe, it feels old, quiet and a little run down, probably down to Westfield poaching most of the biggest brands across the way, there is a VUE cinema, a few banks and a small JD Sports (one of the few stores in the country to still have the old branding), but that's pretty much it. Most of the stores here also seem to be need of a little modernisation or improvement, including but not limited to Natwest, Santander (banks) and JD Sports. There aren't that many places to eat either, with the only big brands here being Pizza Express and Subway, there also is a Wetherspoons but that's basically a place for cheap, low-quality food and is more known for its' alcoholic beverages. Mainly the stores which remain are more "budget" stores or perhaps second-hand stores also including LIDL, CeX, Poundland and Savers. Perhaps a mall which was good in its' way, but it's been drawn into irrelevance since Westfield opened across the way, a small, old mall crying out with modernisation and for at least something unique warrants a one-star rating in my book.

In terms of food shopping, there is a huge Tesco's which is probably the best I have ever visited and a couple of cafes.
