Oxford Street

Serviced apartments from one night upwards in the Oxford Street area

Oxford Street is the world's biggest high street, a shoppers paradise offering a mile and a half of retail opportunities in the City of Westminster in the West End of London. It runs from Tottenham Court Road to Marble Arch via Oxford Circus. 

It is Europe's busiest shopping street, with around half a million daily visitors visiting some 100+ flagship stores and shops.

Whether you are looking for fashion, beauty, technology or homeware you will not be disappointed.

You can shop the very best high-street brands such as Topshop, Gap, H&M, the American Niketown, the young and hip River Island, Primark (cheap fashion) and the UK's iconic department stores including the world famous Selfridges where luxury goods are beautifully displayed, the quality retail store of John Lewis & Partners (good for fashion and electronics), Debenhams, House of Fraser and the flagship store of the ever popular, conservative Marks & Spencer.

With over 500 restaurants within five minutes' walk, you'll have plenty of dining opportunities.

Getting to Oxford Street is easy, with Marble Arch, Bond Street and Oxford Circus stations all serving this lively hub. The bus service is very good in this area. Much of Oxford Street is pedestrianised and there are, of course, plenty of black cabs around.

Most shops and department stores are open Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 9pm and Sunday from 11.30 am to 6pm. Oxford Street can be quite busy at times so to avoid the crowds it is probably best to avoid the street during the week between 5 and 6.30 pm and on Saturday afternoons. The queues to pay in shops and to access the underground are normally more dense at that time. 

Leading from Oxford Street you can also enjoy the luxury shops of Regent Street towards Piccadilly Circus and take a stroll through Carnaby Street on the way and experience a taste of London's cool and trendy 60's heritage.

Nearby Fitzrovia is a diverse residential area where grand 18th and 19th century apartments abound. Well situated for the West End theatres, Fitzrovia has many hotels, galleries and old-school pubs. Charlotte Street is lined with lively bistros and cafes and many of the quiet streets are now home to new media, advertising and architectural companies as well as a number of art galleries. The iconic BT Tower is in the centre of the neighbourhood and dominates the skyline.

Piccadilly Circus is one of London's most popular tourist destinations and is located in the City of Westminster in London's West End.   You can sit by the famous Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, otherwise known as the statue of Eros, whose naked statue cast in aluminium stands atop the fountain, in the centre of glamorous Piccadilly Circus and watch the world go by.   And then have your photo taken in front of the iconic advertising screens whose videos and animations, along with a host of neon illuminated signs, have dominate the landscape for over a century. Coca Cola has had a sign here since 1954!

From Piccadilly Circus, you can easily walk to Piccadilly, Leicester Square or Shaftesbury Avenue. The closest Underground station is Piccadilly Circus, which is served by the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines. This station is one of the very few on the London Underground to have no buildings on street level - everything here is subterranean.
