Oxford Street: Shopping in London

If you’re looking for London’s main lighting attractions this winter, it’d be well worth popping along to Oxford Street. The busy shopping thoroughfare’s display is brand new for this year, consisting mainly of nice, calming stars, which make a lovely impact in the night sky. Pretty magical looking, really. Traditionally Oxford Street is the first to unveil its lights, but this year 20 streets across the West End, including Regent Street, Bond Street and areas in Mayfair and Piccadilly, all lit up in sync for what was the biggest switch-on in the world. Nice to celebrate with your neighbours, isn’t it? Oxford Street is the world's biggest high street, offering 1.5 miles of unrivalled shopping, with more than 90 flagship stores from fashion and beauty to tech and homeware. Oxford Street is the ultimate shopping paradise. Shop the very best high-street brands such as Gap, River Island, Primark, X and the UK's iconic department stores, including Selfridges, John Lewis & Partners, House of Fraser and Marks & Spencer. With more than 500 restaurants within five minutes walking distance, you'll have plenty of breakfast, lunch and dinner choices. Take your pick from alfresco dining at St Christopher's Place and Market Place, to one of the many luxury hotels on Oxford Street.
