Oxford Street Hotels

The ultimate shopping district in the capital of fashion, Oxford Street invites you to put your best foot forward and join the throng in search of your next fashion must-have. From luxury shopping malls at the Bond Street end to the big name brands flashing their wares around Oxford Circus, shopping ‘til you drop is the only option for serious shopaholics. After, the many theatres and museums offer a bit of cultural diversion, and perhaps a rest for weary feet.

Things to see

Emerging onto street level from Oxford Circus tube station is something of a baptism of fire. Once you manage to extricate yourself from the hordes of people around you, who will otherwise carry you off like a tidal wave, the angry hoots of taxis and the flyers for bus tours and theatre tickets that are thrust in your face will provide a sensory overload of their own. Soon, however, you’ll find your rhythm, weaving expertly between shops.

By the time you reach Bond Street, you’ll find a calmer atmosphere and a more carefully curated shopping experience. The window displays at Selfridges are themselves a work of art, and you could lose yourself for days inside this iconic department store. The rooftop restaurant will make you feel miles away from the hubbub below, and is a smart dining choice if you want to avoid the identikit eateries which dominate Oxford Street.
