Experience Europe’s Busiest Shopping Streets
Fancy a bit of retail therapy? Look no further than Oxford Street and Regent Street. The two famous shopping districts have everything you could ever want at your fingertips. With mid-range fashion spots such as Zara and H&M, designer labels including Burberry and Coach, and tech giants, Apple and Microsoft, you can easily spend a whole day browsing and tapping your credit card to your heart’s content! We recommend exploring the world-famous department stores, Selfridges and Liberty, which offer multiple storeys of goods.
Visit Carnaby Street
Venturing off from the Oxford Street shops, take a stroll into Carnaby Street – a pedestrianised shopping strip in Soho filled with a range of stores specialising in clothing, accessories, health and beauty, and home and technology. And don’t forget to look up! Carnaby Street is renowned for its amazing decorations – from Christmas lights to charity events and festivities, you can bet that it will celebrate with an incredible display of colour, lights, and artistry.
Eat Amazing Food
After all that shopping and sightseeing, you will have worked up an appetite! But fear not because Oxford Circus is home to an array of culinary delights. From pubs and bars to pizzerias, cafes, restaurants, and department store eateries, there are a range of places to enjoy mouth-watering cuisine from around the world.
Soak Up The Scenery in Soho Square
If you are looking for a break from the madding crowd, head over to Soho Square and enjoy some green space. Just a stone’s throw from Tottenham Court Road Station, you will find a quaint park with plenty of room to sit, or just stroll amongst the trees. It’s the ideal spot to catch your breath and take a moment away from the go-go-go atmosphere of Oxford Circus.
Enjoy The Exciting Nightlife
However, if go-go-go is more your speed, then the nightlife in the area will be right up your alley. As the sun sets and the lights illuminate, Oxford Circus really comes alive. There are plenty of bars, clubs and pubs to keep you well-hydrated, and many spots to listen to live music and dance the night away. Well-loved spots like Simmons Bar and The Cocktail Club have everything you need for a memorable London night out.
