Your British expedition will not be complete unless you pay a visit to Westminster, home to many of London’s iconic attractions such as the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben but this picturesque city offers much more than just archetypal edifices to the frivolous and enthusiastic traveller. Get on Oxford Street and count yourself as one of half a million of its daily visitors to the main artery of London shopping.

If you’re looking for an international visit to this iconic city, there are many accommodation options to choose from, ranging from budget-friendly ones, to the likes of Berjaya Eden Park London Hotel, one of the most prestigious Hotels Bayswater London has on offer.

Keep in mind that the street in question is studded with big names all along its stretch so seasoned shopper or newbie, buying off the cuff might be tricky. If you want cheap high street shopping and jumbo department stores then Oxford will be a sure hit. Make your way up and down the West End and find the quintessential Selfridges where the hottest and trendiest labels reside with smart up street fashion thrown in for good measure. From debut designer collections to a basement full of hip home accessories, it is little wonder that shoppers make a beeline for it. While you’re there, why not marvel at cheap yet cheerful Forever 21, classic yet style-conscious Marks and Spencer and well-respected John Lewis. Watch as the hours go by and you become progressively laden with shopping and a tumultuous desire to keep going. Do keep going because unless you are a Londoner, it isn’t every day that you get to experience the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street.

Unlike other streets, it has astonishingly retained a down-market element all while hosting prestigious outlets like M&S and Debenhams. From Marble Arch to Bond Street to Oxford Circus to Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Street holds many a secret if you know where to look. Hint: The second floor of the Mango outlet sells last season’s stock at ridiculous discounts.
