If you’re looking for a quiet break, don’t choose this busy, crowded shopping district!
Also known as the Golden Mile, it runs from Marble Arch (Marks and Spencer) via Selfridges and John Lewis to Oxford Circus and another large branch of Marks and Spencer. It's where the shopping action is. There are pubs and clubs aplenty and you'll be within walking distance of many theatres.
Area highlights include the Marble Arch, originally designed by Nash as a gateway to Buckingham Palace; Selfridges, the largest department store in Europe, whose frontage alone is worth a look; and St. Christopher's Place which is a nice spot to relax and enjoy a performance in the piazza.
