The O2 Centre on London's Finchley Road is perhaps the least British shopping centre in the UK. I can never decide if I love the place or hate it. It's so - well - over the top: a jungle with fibreglass rock formations and caves, waterfalls, illuminated jumping water-jets, fake bamboo and five fish tanks including one bloody huge aquarium stocked with brightly coloured tropical fish. The sound of crickets is piped throughout the centre, and at night the moon rises on the blue dome.

You think I'm exaggerating? Take a look at these pictures I took on Friday.
