Global recession be damned, Londoners are ready to shop. Er, at least they better be, because the city just opened one of the continent's largest shopping malls.

The 265-store, glass-roofed Westfield London Shopping Centre opened last week. The mall--in the White City neighborhood--is chock full of high-end retailers like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany's, along with 47 restaurants, and even a new tube station just to serve the traffic the mall is anticipated to attract.

Londonist has a neat photo gallery of the opulent interior. And judging from the pics, there appear to be plenty of folks left in London with some money to burn.
