Vanessa Bryant Arrives in London -- Let the Shopping Begin!

Angry Vanessa Bryant is GREAT for the British economy ... 'cause Kobe's estranged wife has arrived in London ... and already taken a high-end shopping spree.

As we previously reported, Vanessa had planned to fly to the U.K. with the couple's two daughters long before she saw the pics of a topless Kobe hangin' with a couple of chicks at an after party in Barcelona.

We're told Vanessa was less than pleased with the photos, but Dolce & Gabbana can make you forget a lot.

There's more than shopping on her itinerary though -- a rep tells us Vanessa's staying in London for the full 2 weeks of the Olympics. We're told she's already attended several events ... including one of Ryan Lochte's races.
