00:00What's up everyone?

00:08Today I'm going to take you on a walk of Oxford Street, Europe's busiest shopping street.

00:16I recorded this video on Saturday, November 4th, 2023.

00:21The time is about 8 o'clock p.m. and it's 49 Fahrenheit, 10 degrees Celsius.

00:29Oxford Street is located in London in the United Kingdom, located entirely within the

00:37West End in the city of Westminster.

00:45I'll be walking all the way to Tottenham Court Road.

01:00And it looks like the city turned on the holiday lights for all of us.

01:15You'll find numerous brands here, such as the Apple Store, you have Selfridges, which

01:21is a big department store here, and many other fashion brands.

01:38Across the street is Primark, a large clothing store.

04:07The official map runs underneath Oxford Street and has multiple stations along it.

04:15From my knowledge, there's Marble Arch, Bond Street, Oxford Circus, and also Tottenham

04:53This street is only 1.2 miles long.

05:23The Selfridges store is right across the street from me.

05:38They have some amazing holiday windows.

06:38Really gorgeous, I like that they have the animated curtains.

07:36The Candy Cane Man.

09:06The Ball Ballerina.

10:06Showtime at Selfridges.

10:36The Wings.

10:46Boss.

11:36The Wings.

11:56The Wings.

12:16The Wings.

12:36The Wings.

12:46Bond Street Station across the street.

12:53Also very festive down that way.

13:23This is the Disney Store.

13:44This is the Disney Store.

14:10They call it a footway over here.

14:13We would never say that in the United States.

14:17That would be a walkway.

14:39Now where are you going?

15:07This is the Disney Store.

15:17The Disney Store.

15:27The Disney Store.

15:43Interesting how in this area there's no holiday lights, but starting from the next block they start up again.

15:55It's probably because of all this construction in the area.

16:02Might make it difficult to string lights up.

16:31This is the Disney Store.

16:51This is the Disney Store.

20:55This is the Circus tube station.

21:02And here's Regent Street, which has not turned on their lights yet.

21:24This is a large H&M store.

21:27I actually went inside an H&M earlier to see how the prices are.

21:34And they're quite comparable to pricing in the United States.

21:39Actually, it's more expensive because everything is priced in British pounds.

21:44And the current exchange rate is one British pound to about $1.24 U.S. dollars.

24:48I knew it was coming.

25:17I'm noticing a lot of repeat stores along Oxford Street.

25:41There's a H&M across the street and another Uniqlo.

25:49I guess this street is so long that having more than one of the same store is necessary.

26:03This is definitely one of the longest shopping streets I've ever walked on.
