Synonymous with retail therapy, Oxford Street is the most iconic shopping district in London. This commercial thoroughfare is approximately 1.2 miles long and runs from Marble Arch Underground Station in the west to Tottenham Court Underground Station in the east. The Central Line serves both stations with stops at Bond Street and Oxford Circus. Red double-decker buses cruise up and down the road.
Staying at our Central Hotel London is the only way to beat the crowds.
Where to Shop on Oxford Street?
Oxford Street is busiest at weekends, over the festive season in December, and during the January Sales. At all other times, the area is quieter in the morning with increased footfall from lunch onwards. These are the best places to bookmark for shopping.
Selfridges
Even if you aren’t looking to spend, Selfridges is the very emblem of London shopping culture. It’s one of the largest luxury department stores devoted to designer and high street clothing, chic accessories, home decor, pet products, cosmetics, fragrances, books, and gifts. Selfridges also has a food court and a beautiful rooftop bistro.
