Selfridges, John Lewis, and many shops along the street. Beware of pick pockets. I prefer to alight at Bond Street Station then walk rather than alight at Oxford Circus. Try to avoid peak hours in the morning and in the evening as it could get pretty crazy. More

I used to love Oxford Circus when I first moved to London. Great place to visit for sure if your first time in London but if you suffer of any physiological issue retrain to go! Too many people anywhere and if you wish to get the tube between 5 and 7pm, walk miles away otherwise you will be stuck outside... More

World class shopping experience with the latest fashions. I especially liked Selfridges...amazing. Not many opportunities for bargain hunters anywhere on Oxford St, but there is value for quality. Apparently, most of these stores only has a couple massive clearance events all year (I didn't see any clearance sales or racks)...I think that's so that they can earn top margin from... More

If you can stand the crowds, the impatient drivers and really long queues at the tube stations, then you may enjoy a trip to Oxford Street. It certainly does have a great range of shops, but it's a real battle to get to go to them all. Have a power breakfast and get your walking shoes on. No heels on... More

If you're coming here for some pretty amazing shopping, forget it. Most of the stores along the street are your typical High Street shops, albeit usually larger. There are a few scattered high-end stores, but the whole atmosphere of the street is nothing special. Better off checking out quirky Carnaby Street or Covent Garden! More

Vibrant, busy and great for sight seeing but mediocre in terms of shopping experience. There was a time when you could buy all the latest goods in The West End but now every shopping area is the same. With the exception of Primark in Marble Arch, who's turn over is so great, new stuff is arriving all the time, there... More

I work just off Oxford Street and although it can be convenient to have all the shops on your doorstep, it's also a real nuisance with the amount of people. Don't be in a rush when you come here. If you want good shopping I'd recommend going to House of Fraser, John Lewis and Selfridges. They have everything under one... More

It used to be the case that Oxford Street was the place to go when looking for something special to wear and just to spend the day shopping or window shopping. Unfortunately it is now grimey with the same chain stores that can be found anywhere. It is dull in appearance and content. More
