Today, we're looking around Oxford Street, one of London's busiest and most famous shopping
00:06
streets stretching for over a mile through the West End.
00:10
It's home to more than 300 shops, making it one of the largest shopping districts in Europe.
00:15
Oxford Street has been a centre of retail since the early 19th century, when it was
00:19
transformed from a quiet street into a commercial hub.
00:23
Today, it offers everything from high street fashion to flagship stores for major brands,
00:28
including the famous Selfridges department store, which opened in 1909.
00:33
Oxford Street is a popular destination for both Londoners and tourists alike, particularly
00:38
during the festive season when the street is adorned with elaborate Christmas lights.
00:42
The nearest tube station is Oxford Circus, which is on the Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines.
