Oxford Street

Now we will set off to the street where you'll have a free time to walk and perhaps to go shopping. It is the Oxford Street. But before this listen to me in order to know the information about the street.

Oxford Street is a solid mile of shops and the main shopping street in the heart of the West End, as it contains most of the department stores catering for the middle of the market. You are likely to find everything you want in the street’s shops and department stores. Major stores include John Lewis, DH Evans and Marks and Spencer. Bookshops include Dillions and Books and top music shops are HMV and the new Virgin Megastore.

However the street’s most famous shop is Selfridges, a vast department store near Bond Street tube station.

Would you like to visit the biggest shop in Britain? It was built in 1909 by american Gordon Selfridge. The shop is so large that a printed floor plan is available near the entrance to help you navigate around. As well as the usual big store departments, Selfridges has a highly popular food hall.

Be attentive and watch out for mock auctions that are sometimes held in empty shops in Oxford Street. A small peace of advice for you: if the weather isn't fine you can go back to Oxford Street and quickly move from store to store and while away many happy hours out of the rain.
