Oxford Street and Bond Street are probably two of the main ones for all the big shops and designer stores.

yea most of the inner city will have shopping but oxford street as said and the others are all good and not too expensive if you choose the right shops hope you have a good day tabs, i enjoy the place i'v lived and worked there and it's always buzzing with life and things going on, you might even spot the odd celeb doing there rounds of shopping, or on the tube

When I walked past this great big place with armed police there and barriers I walked past Ann Widdicoombe(sp), pointed out to gf but she didn't notice, then realised it was Houses of Parliament, I think very near Big Benny, and had people sleeping in tents on pavement on other side of road.
I had to pay to get into the tower as me dads mate don't work there anymore, he was a beefeater there, but retired now.

Tube to Bond Street - takes you to the retail heart of Oxford Street.

+1 and Regent Street for Hamleys. So easy to spend hours in there Carnaby Street is pukka in the last few years. Oxford Street is where you wanna be for the bigger shops
