A look inside Europe's biggest shopping mall

Being unable to walk and using a disability buggy, ILOVE shopping malls, no steep kerbs, no potholes , no inaccessable shop doorways, no steps, and even the toilets are clean.
pity that this one is so far away, as are so many others, still people here are always willing to help and a chat is the usual thing, human contact is alive and well and living in N ireland

I thought the one built in 2009 in Shepherds Bush was the biggest in Europe.

would love a day out shopping , looks a great mall !!

i was there yesterday. pretty cool. overcrowded and tons of women with baby strollers knocking at your heels

do not think i will bother
rather stay in derby

enjoy yourselves folks untill obesity catches up with you and cry foul. he who digs the pity falls into it.

Urgh -horrible ! Count me out !

It may be big, but it will have just all the same old shops as everywhere else..nothing new and little imagination. Nothing compared to the lanes of Brighton or Portobello road W11/10

Trouble today is to build something of quality. In photo 1 the caption says there are 17 cinema screens. By photo 3 only 14 appear to survive, three down in a day! Is there a Macdonalds there, as the official restaurant of the olympic games? Well done Derek, long may your island be peaceful.

Retailers are such idiots every time a new complex opens they will steer the business away from the ones they already have in place, no wonder so many high street brands have vanished, greed!

Let's see how many shops are closed up before the Games begin!

Waste of money after the Olympics this place will be empty,We should have used the Olympics money to build hospitals and the money spent to help pay off our debt what a complete waste of tax payers money.How can 50 cafes survive

Looks like Hell on earth

do we need more shops?

"Lifestyle choice" in Newham lol.... Just what the world needs another place to switch of your brain and mindlessly consume. How many hospitals or youth clubs would this have paid for?

let this be the last of these awful places

I was here today, on the 14 Sept it certainly is big not as crowded as when it first opened. I took one of those map guides they were handing out. You need it to find your way around.

great can you give me some money to spend there....

Ah, that's what the country needs, another place that looks exactly like the one down the road. Scrap individuality, one offs etc. Corporate #$%$ rules

That's it get people with no money and spendaholics get to slide further into debt.
