Is Westfield London worth the hype? Absolutely. It’s a monument to our collective desire to buy things we don’t need, eat things we shouldn’t, and walk more than we would on a hiking trail — all under one roof. It’s ridiculous, it’s overwhelming, and it’s brilliant.
Just don’t go in thinking you’ll leave with your sanity or your savings intact. You’ve been warned. And if you see a confused-looking man staring at a map near the Lego store, give him a wave. That’s probably me, trying to find the exit — which, rumor has it, is somewhere near the next tax year.
