Bieber fever has traveled from the west end of London to the east, as teen star Justin Bieber switched on the Christmas lights at the city's two biggest shopping malls.

Thousands of young and mostly female fans waited hours Monday for the 17-year-old singer to appear, first at the Westfield shopping center in west London, then hours later at the new Westfield Stratford City mall near the 2012 Olympic Park in the east.

Bieber traveled the 12 miles (18 kilometers) between the malls by helicopter.

The star, who won two prizes at Sunday's MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast, said his favorite thing about London is "all the girls."

The singer has strongly denied allegations by a San Diego woman that he fathered her 3-month-old child during a brief liaison.
