Full of the name brand stores as well as a few mom and pop stores as well. There's also a gym, apartments, an awesome food court, and more. The food court is much better than your average mall food court. The options are restaurant quality and plenty of options. Awesome place to buy whatever you need or just to grab a meal.

It was upsetting and frustrating bc I was thirsty and in need of water. I'd been here before and ate at their food court, their burgers were okay but their pistachio dessert was great (I think a tiramisu) but pretty pricey for both. LOTS of food options available though which was nice to have a selection. The bathrooms are very clean and well-kept which was a giant positive, also lots of stalls and no line at the both times that I went here. The people I encountered were all very nice and friendly and welcoming to a foreigner such as myself and they also made a positive impact on my trip! ---- Overall: a pretty decent mall but fix your water refill stations ASAP please!!

It opened towards the end of 2013 yet still feels modern. The stores located here like any Outlet can be hit or miss depending on the season and how lucky you can get, but there is a good selection of brands including Boss, Calvin Klein and Marks and Spencer. There's a large amount of places to eat and drink here too, as there is around Wembley as a whole. LDO also features a Cineworld Cinema. PRO TIP: Use the tube if coming here as Wembley Park Underground Station is only a short walk away, parking is expensive and on an event day, you'll be paying a flat rate and spending hours getting out of the car park. Overall, it's a cool location to grab a bite to eat or shop, especially on a non-event-day, walking around the mall, you can also see the iconic Wembley Stadium arch. 4*

I suggest taking your time to look around to make sure you dont miss anything - it might not be there next week. with that in mind, you need to be certain about what you are buying as you wont be able to take it back. Another reason for taking your time is so you can enjoy sampling from the many food stalls around to keep your energy levels up.

I really love this place. This B&M is situated on the site that previously housed Homebase, so it…read moreis huge. The only B&M I'd been to before was a couple of years ago, when I was in Yorkshire. I was really impressed with that store and it wasn't an eighth of the size of this store. I looked at the website and it seems that they are springing up all around London and the South East. It's a hard store to explain. It's like a mix of Poundland, Robert Dyas and B&Q (if you're American read Dollar General, Big Lots and Walmart). It also has quite a large but busy carpark. This store is on two levels, complete with a garden centre attached. Upstairs is mainly concentrated on decorating and DIY goods. It has a large selection of non-perishable foods, and a large section for biscuits and sweets. I even found French's Steak Sauce for 49p, cheaper than purchasing it in the US. You can get TV's here and audio equipment. There is also a furniture section and tons of toys and games. As its near Christmas two aisle are concentrated on decorations, mainly tat, but with some tasteful bargains too, with plenty of stocking filler gifts. I really like this store, and know I will be back on a not too regular basis, but if I fancy a stroll around with nothing too much in mind, other than pick up a bargain.

Either you may find the place handy ( especially if you want to kill time while waiting for your departure) or a bad suggestion if plan is to meet a date. It has the whole second floor of fast food dining options. You will see different kind of retail stores on its ground floor. Anything that you may need for your travel (out of emergency situation) can be found here. We came in here ( a walk from our hotel)as my sis -in law had rushes due to an allergic reaction and me for a replacement for the lost prescribed eye glasses reasons. We were able to see a pharmacy store that served to both our needs. Like a typical commuter station center, it also offers services like massage in a chair service, shoe shines service, flowers , etc. Only one thing that turned me off about this place, I did not like that I need to pay a coin to get into their restrooms.

For any one of my friends traveling into London I always recommend veering off a little to Carnaby. Over the years some shops have come and go but some of my favorites remain open. I'm a huge Great Frog lover and their shop is nearby, also for us rock n rollers I can't help stopping into The Rolling Stones Uk store. Lots of major branded stores but also cute local vendors and stores. It's a very walkable street and safe. Plenty busy so come earlier in the day to beat the crowds. Another pro tip is catching a reservation at dishshoom down here as I've found it easier to snag a reservation here than at their other locations. Plenty of dining options though and local stalls like Starbucks and Joe & the juice. It's a touristy street of shops but I love it - definitely bookmark this area on your must shop / see list when on this side of town.

Easy to navigate, the market has two parallel aisles that run from one end to the other. But if you're too tired or you already bought a ton of stuff, you'd be excused if you only do one aisle. Conveniently located, the market runs next to the Hammersmith Underground line, between Goldhawk Road and Shepherd's Bush Market stations. You can't miss it.

This store is in a warehouse complex just east of North Acton station. The entrance to the complex…read moreis on Victoria Rd. It looks like an office complex and is hard to imagine any grocery stores are in it, so it was intimidating to walk through what looked like a gated area at first. I followed the winding path for 2-3min and found Unit 16 towards the end of this estate. The store is very spacious and has pretty much anything you ask for from a Japanese supermarket. I found snacks, sweets, rice, noodles, sauces, frozen food, drinks and some kitchen and household items. It even had a small shelf for Japanese books. (No photos allowed inside for some reason) This place can fulfill your needs for Japanese food. It is hidden, but don't hesitate to go in!

LOVE. THIS. PLACE…read more Seriously, a Godsend. Being Japanese, I was concerned about how I would meet my Japanese food needs when I moved to London. I moved into a student housing accommodation in North Acton and was super duper excited to find that there was a Japan Centre 5 minutes away. It's a little tricky to find at first. It's in an industrial complex and you have to walk down the car entrance for a bit. The store is at the end on the left. Obviously, since this is a warehouse and not a full grocery store, the selection is limited compared to the Soho location. They have a small selection of fresh produce but mostly you will find nonperishable and frozen items. It's good enough and saves me from having to haul my butt to Soho. There's also a "sale" section with foods that are past their sell-by dates. It's mostly stuff that lasts a long time and the reduced price is an added bonus.
