Westfield Stratford City

Yesterday afternoon I managed to get to Westfield Stratford City, a 20 minute trip from work on the Central Line.  The centre is lovely as was expected and does not have all of the high end shops of the White city Centre.  All of the usual suspects are there and lots of eateries.  It was good to see Pull and Bear, Esprit and Uniqlo that much closer to home. At the moment there is also a Getty Images exhibition that has been to White City but still worth a visit.

John Lewis has a haberdashery department which has a good selection of paper patterns and Amy Butler fabrics.

My favourite part was the London 2012 shop within John Lewis which had collectors pins, stamps and all of the other official merchandise.  The view from the window was over the olympic park......
