Any day you find a Uniqlo is a good day! And thankfully, it's in mall at Battersea Power Station.

I love the way that they organize this store. If only my closet should look 1/10 as good how I see it here. Nicely folded, color organized and classic.

You can't go wrong with anything you buy at Uniqlo. You'll have it for years to come!

I love this store, it's part of the cool vibe of metal and industrial with Battersea Power Station.

Westfield London is the closest mall to London’s Heathrow airport if you have some time to kill before a flight and can’t make it to London proper. It’s very easy to get to from the Underground (in Heathrow), all you need is a debit card.

NOTE: Please check your time ahead as you may need up to 1.5 hours to ensure you do NOT miss your flight. Better safe than sorry in case of traffic (car), delays or canceled trains (Underground) though it’s about 30-40 mins by Underground.

Even if you’re not a fan of malls, this malls has all the power players and biggest brands. And you’ll find something for sure …. London style.

PRO:
- Huge mall with a ton of brands
- Easy to get to from the Underground
- Restaurant

CON:
- When there’s no traffic or train delays it can be as fast as 30 minutes but as long as 1 hour.
- It’s a mall. That means different things to different people.
- Because they are so big, there was a lack of sales when I was there. Maybe this isn’t the norm but I’ll bet it’s cause they know that there are a lot of tourists here.

SUMMARY:
If you are short on time but need to get some souvenirs, clothing or something London style, this is the easiest way with so many brands under one roof.

Biggest Marks & Spencer I’ve ever visited. Not sure if it’s the biggest in on Oxford however.

Very well organized in several floors. Plenty of clothing though I’m not sure I see much more of anything besides a cafe which is on here Home floor.

Worth visiting as Marks and Spencer is an institute in London though I was disappointed in the lack of sales

I can’t say I really care for Mercante. It’s one of 3 restaurants attached to the Sheraton Park Lane hotel in Mayfair. I’ve eaten a few times here but when there is such good Italian food and breakfast in London, this is not an option for me.

PRO:
- Attached to Sheraton Park Lane hotel, there is convenience if you are staying here
- Can charge it to your room if you are staying here and accrue Marriott loyalty points

CON:
Breakfast: The buffet isn’t very good. I’ve had sour juice here. The bacon was so overcooked it couldn’t be cut. The omelette is not a good alternative choice as it’s all egg - very stingy on the fillings.

SUMMARY:
When you are staying in a hotel you can get too tired to look for proper options. I wouldn’t do breakfast here (it’s the only breakfast from the 3 restaurants).

I’m not a fan of post modernism. It captures no beauty, no warmth, no inspiration and definitely nothing interesting.

They had other paid exhibitions but the free ones were so odd and uninspiring I couldn’t see forking over good money.

The most interesting things about this about this was the gift shop.
