Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
We had so many submissions for the Mall of America we had to post it back in May last year. So here is our revenge in the form of the Google Sightseeing team’s local “shopping centre”, The Gyle. It actually looks kinda cool from above.
Thanks Matthew Pettitt

Here is the shopping behemoth that some , including myself, like to call Dumplington Precinct but is actually called the Trafford Centre.
Everytime you enter the place a little piece of your soul dies!

Here is the massive MetroCentre on Tyneside, which I believe is the largest shopping centre in the UK, if not the whole of Europe.
