Oxford Street



Oxford Street is a place that never gets empty, a lot of brands have their flagship stores there such as Topshop, Nike etc. It starts from Marble Arch and goes all the way to Tottenham Court Road. All the shops pay big attention to their store design and window displays. It's not suprising really as there is so many shops to chose from, they have to stand out in one way or another. It's a great opportunity to attract some tourists as well because let's face it who would go to visit London and missed out on Oxford Street



Topshop store is massive, I always get disorientated there, but to be honest their V&M is pretty crazy, always a lot of random things going on in there, but that's what makes it interesting. River Island also does a good job at it. 
Nearly 2 years ago Primark opened a huge store in Marble Arch and I have to give them credit for trying to stand up to their competition, because their window displays look creative and playful, but beware of the longest queues is the world if you ever go there. 


Although all the shops are unique in their own way there is one that beats them all. Selfridges store has the most amazing window displays I have ever seen. Whether it's winter, summer or spring their window displays are immense. Sometimes they can be very random, and other times just arty and fun but the creativity level are always used to the max. Inside the store layout is also very thought through and friendly to the customer. 


Overall it's a nice place to go to on a good old shopping spree as there is a lot of shops to choose from and because they're big, you can enjoy wide ranges of products. Avoid weekends if you can though, it does get rammed! And if you get tired you can go to Marble Arch and chill in Hyde Park (:
