Reasons to go
Full description
As one of Europe's busiest shopping thoroughfares, Oxford Street strings together flagship branches of major high-street retailers alongside department stores, drawing huge volumes of both tourists and Londoners. Its perfect must-see score reflects sheer inevitability as a stop on most visits, though the rock-bottom hidden-gem and local scores confirm it's mainstream shopping rather than a discovery.
Reviewers describe it as crowded and commercial but well-placed for reaching nearby parks and neighborhoods, useful more for its location and range of shops than for any particular charm. It suits practical shopping trips rather than a leisurely sightseeing walk.
