there are days when the rain comes pouring down from the sky. There you are in your hotel room or apartment, what shall we do? Queue for the London Eye? No option. A walk along the Thames? No way! Shopping in Oxford Street then. Nice but every time you leave a store you get soaked. The solution for a rainy day is a visit to an indoor shopping center. And a very large one please.
There are 2 huge indoor shopping malls in London, one in the west of the city and one in the east. The shopping center in the west is called Westfield London and is located in Shepherd’s Bush, the shopping center in the east is called Westfield Stratford and is not far from the Olympic Stadium. Both are easily reached by the Underground, making them the perfect destination for a day out on a rainy day.
