The new shopping mall by the Olympic Park

The top floor of the Mall

Boris's 'Piffle Tower' peeps over the centre - it is growing like a Beanstalk


Well we went there on the third day it opened and it was just packed.  It is huge, a maze and the exit I came out which I thought was Maryland turned out to be in the Olympic Park itself. We were told we were not allowed there and to go back the long way round- not me I said- bolshie sod, but the signposting was terrible.  The centre has the usual shops- loads of fashion for the younger customers while Lakeland Baking store attracted older people like me and gay men.  There I could only wince at the price of the mixing bowl I broke last week and at the cost of replacing my cast iron cake tin which I had just left at my baking class and will almost certainly be nicked by now!  The Mall is brash and were it not for the West Ham shop and the smoked salmon cafe you would not know you were in East London at all
