This Friday, most of the world will be dressing up as The Joker and trying to elicit candy from strangers. The population of London however, will be cramming their consumer-holes full to bursting as the terrible behemoth that is Westfield mall throws open it’s doors for the first time. Obviously I’ll be there, mainly because you get free shit on opening days, but because I walk past this fucker every day, ( and I’m y’know…investigative…or a peeping tom…)I sneaked in early today and peeked. No other building in the city quite defines both ‘Awesome’ and ‘Fucking Terrifying’ so well! I’m all for innovative architecture, but seeing Hugo Boss suspended in a giant Ice-Spider’s web isn’t what I had in mind. Neither are the massive signs, simply reading ‘Choice‘ scattered about the place. I tried looking at them ironically but have come to the conclusion that the whole thing is waaay too ‘They Live‘ for my liking, although buildings that base their aesthetic on John carpenter films are always a bonus. Anyway, you lazy bastards who won’t pay the congestion charge-get your fat asses down to W12 this weekend!

Went in yesterday, spent about an hour wandering around – and still didn’t see the food court! I reckon Cthulhu lives somewhere under the food court.
OMG it looks like I’m gonna have a new favourite place! I plan on attending next week and I WILL find the food court. and Cthulhu.
