A typical London shopping experience on Oxford Street

Posted on 15th March 2012 by

There are more than 300 different shops on Oxford Street, making it the prime location for a spending spree. All sorts of products can be located here, from clothes, shoes and accessories to home ware. Mobile phone shops are also situated on this one point five kilometre shopping location, along with some top of the range gaming stores, making the area completely varied in merchandise.

Oxford Street is a very popular, and therefore very busy, area of London, and so it is a good job there are a wide selection of cafés and other eateries along the stretch, all of which you can relax over a coffee in.

When the crowds become too overwhelming, take a little stroll down one of the side streets, where you will be transported to the very picture of calm and serenity. Away from the hustle and bustle, you will be able to look again at your brilliant findings, as well as gaze upon the truly beautiful area that you are in.
