Europe's busiest shopping street
Oxford
Street
London's ultimate shopping destination, home to over 300 brands.
The definitive guide to Oxford Street is coming soon.
Home to some of the world's most celebrated department stores — Selfridges, opened in 1909, pioneered the modern retail experience and remains one of the most spectacular shops on earth.
The street boasts flagship stores from global giants including John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Nike, H&M, Zara and Uniqlo — a concentration of brands unmatched anywhere in Europe.
Oxford Street sits on one of London's oldest roads — a Roman route dating to around AD 50, later infamous as the path condemned prisoners travelled to the gallows at Tyburn near Marble Arch.
HMV's original Oxford Street store played a pivotal role in music history — it was here in 1962 that Brian Epstein's visit led, through a chain of chance encounters, to The Beatles being offered their first recording contract.
Oxford Street appears on the classic Monopoly board as part of the green set alongside Bond Street and Regent Street — cementing its place in the cultural imagination as one of London's defining addresses.
