Posted August 16, 20159 yr I was going to be in London in October, and noticed that the London Westfield Center store was fairly close to where I will be staying. Is this store worth a visit? I am trying to decide to take time to go there, or not. Any feedback would be appreciated! Cheers!
August 16, 20159 yr Which one? There's two - one at Westfield Shepherd's Bush and one at Westfield Stratford. They're both nice, though - I've visited the Shepherd's Bush one the most (on Friday, for example), as it's a little bit closer to central London, but I'd say they're both worth a visit. Then again, I live in a country with no LEGO stores, so I'd say any LEGO store is worth a visit... :)
August 16, 20159 yr Author Ah the Shepherd's Bush would be the one I could visit. Thanks for your opinion! I am spoiled here, in California, there are 3 stores within reason of driving to, for me. I wanted to visit a UK example to compare it to here. Cheers.
August 17, 20159 yr Well, it's easy to find - exit the tube station, turn left, walk along the walkway up to the main entrance, then when you get inside turn left on the ground floor. Once you reach the end of that row of shops you'll see it. The staff is very friendly, they helped me pick a complete set of Series 2 Simpsons minifigs :)
August 17, 20159 yr Author Thanks for the tips and directions. I will be within walking distance of there, from my hotel, so figured will just sightsee on over there.
August 18, 20159 yr Author Geez, looking at the conversion to US $ from UK £, everything seems to have about a $20 premium. I think I will just get something small and leave it at that...wow, I didn't realize how big of difference most other countries pay more than compared to here in the US... kind of sucks...
August 20, 20159 yr Yes, it does suck. Remember, though, that there's no kind of tax on top of that - what it says on the price tag is what you pay - so the difference isn't quite as big as it seems.

That's one of the only good things- no tax, as even factoring in tax the diff is still extremely steep.
