Shopping marathon in store at Olympics
Shoppers walk around the Westfield Stratford City mall in east London on June 21. The $2.75 billion mall, which contains a 24-hour casino, 14 bowling lanes, 70 restaurants and 250 shops, has been placed between the main public transit hub and the main entry point to the Olympic Park.
