On Thursday 16th May I travelled from Iver, Buckinghamshire to Oxford Circus, specifically to visit the Topshop store there. My reason for visiting was very simple - it was regarding an item of clothing I had received for my birthday that I wished to exchange. I entered the store in an optimistic and upbeat mood, looking forward to the prospect... More

Only the Brave will survive Christmas shopping here, they do pedestrian days sometimes How about doing this every Saturday and Sunday from Mid November to Jan that way you can move about without fear of the traffic. would just make this a more pleasant experience with out all the stress

I always take a trip to Oxford Street when I come to London. It has every shop you could want! It really does have something for everyone- Selfridges, a massive John Lewis, House of Fraser- all the big name department stores are here and are great to browse through. There's the Disney Store for kids of all ages as well... More

Selfridges and John Lewis might be worth a visit, if you want masses of choice (in the former) and some nice knitting wool or stainless steel cookware (in the latter). Serious mass market shoppers will head for Regent Street and upmarket ones for (New) Bond Street. For a taste of non-shopping, the crowded and loquacious Bradley's bar in Hanway Street... More

Could easily spend a weekend just shopping at this street. Best place in London to go shopping (unless you're extremely rich). Seems like a never-ending street. Shops for every budget. Stores are also huge.

Not very interesting street with very few interesting shops - I don't get why so many people go here as it is full of high priced tawdry shops, the are one or two good ones, but these are the exception rather than the rule. If you want good shopping Kennsington High Street or Covent Garden are much more fun!

A must walk but be prepared for crowds! Shops open at 10am mostly and it is packed on the street after noon. You'll find Marks & Spencer, Selfridges, Primark (your discount dept store) all close to each other (around the 400s # in street). Lots if chain stores that you can find worldwide (Gap, Mexx, Starbucks etc). Some tourist trinket... More

Lots of good high street stores. Massive Marks and Spencer's, Next, River Island etc. We only had a couple of hours there not enough time really but everyone managed to buy something except me!
