Oxford Street (W1)

Oxford Street in London is a shopper's paradise, running for 1 and a half miles from Marble Arch all the way down to connect to Tottenham Court Road.

If you get bored of Oxford Street, you can always head down interconnecting Regents Street for loads more shops including Hamley's, one of the world's most famous toy shops.

It is easily accessable; one end is Oxford Circus tube which is on the Bakerloo, Central and Victoria line (which is 3 stops from Kings Cross!) and the other end is Marble Arch which is on the Central tube line and close to Baker Street.

I used to work just off Oxford St for 4 years, it was always very busy, but i loved it. Oxford Street is a big part of London. It is in the City of Westminster and with over 300 shops along the very busy street, it is Europe's busiest shopping street. It runs for approx a mile and a half from Mable Arch (North East coner of Hyde Park) through Oxford Circus to St Gile' Circus. Oxford St also intersects with other London roads, the big one's being Park Lane, New Bond St, Regent Street. ** Why I love Oxford St** Okay, working next to Oxford St was never very good for the bank balance because i'm a shopaholic, but you don't have to love ...  Read the complete review
