Advantages: Lots of shops

Disadvantages: Very busy

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 shopping to visit Oxford St. Yes it mainly has shops, and lots of them, but the amazing buildings along Oxford St are well worth a visit.

Ok, back to the shops. Oxford St has every shop you could want. A big John Lewis, House of Fraser, Flagship Topshop right near Oxford Circus tube station, Disney Store.

Yes it can get very busy, and its sometimes hard to walk along the path because its so busy, but because its a great experience, you never moan. Most people that go to Oxford St to shop know how busy it gets, and i think people are used to it now.

I always LOVED Christmas time along Oxford St. The lights are always amazing, and just walking along the street all wrapped up warm with a starbucks hot choccy, and bags in your hand, loooking at all the Christmas decs, its wonderful.

** Best way to get to Oxford St**

There are a number of different ways to get to Oxford St, them being tube, bus, walk, cab. I have always enjoyed getting the bus to Oxford St, with many stops, and buses coming from all over London through oxford St, you can always guarentee you will be able to get a bus back to where you started. The tube is also as easy, but it can get very busy, and i hate being underground.

** Overall**

I no longer work in London, but every year i make sure i visit Oxford St around Christmas time. I can be sure to find what i'm looking for. If your ever tired, you have a wide range of coffee shops to stop at to recharge your batteries, including starbucks, caffe Neros.

Summary: Jump on the bus, and jump off at Oxford St, you won't be dissapointed
