Bond Street is just off of Oxford Street, and is known for being exclusive, what with its designer boutiques, commercial art galleries, and antique stores.

The designer stores include Gucci, Armani, Bally, DKNY, Prada, Versace, and so on. Ideal for those se...

Regent Street is located just off of Oxford Street, and is mostly known as a retail wonderland. The shops on Regent Street are generally more expensive than those on Oxford Street.

Some shops to check out include:

Hamleys - a huge toy store, which has ga...

Food, shops, nightlife: this street has it all.

Brick Lane, London, United Kingdom
By malatia on May 30, 2008
5/5
Brick Lane is in the east of London, in one of the areas that is very trendy and alternative.

Brick Lane is probably most known for its vast number of Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants, none of which are too expensive. It can be a little overwhelming to walk u...

Mostly Electronic & Home Furnishing Retailers

Tottenham Court Road, London, United Kingdom
By malatia on May 30, 2008
3/5
Tottenham Court Road is not the most exciting street in London, however it does have some useful shops.

The Oxford Street end mostly has electronic retailers, whereas the northern half has home furnishing stores such as Bo Concept and Habitat.

3/5
King William Street is a great starting point toward numerous fantastic sights in London. My personal favourite was and remains the Tower of London, the history is almost tangible, and seeing the prison, the ravens, the sites where so many historic british eve...

By alexkoz on May 27, 2008
3/5
The portobello road experience is a great sight seeing place for buying all sorts of weird and fantastic goods. My experience here has always been good and often me ending up with buying something interesting as well as coming home exhausted. I think it is def...

A dodgy place to go for a pint

New North Road, London, United Kingdom
By alexkoz on May 27, 2008
1/5
I had the misfortunate experience of going to a pub on New North Road, near the Old Street Tube station. Apart from the obvious run down buildings and number of kids running around late on a school night, I was nearly mugged by two young hooligans who were pro...

By alexkoz on May 27, 2008

Camden Road is probably one of the most famous streets in London for shopping or markets. It houses many different and individual markets from shops to flea markets. It is one of the only areas that has a market open everyday of the week. However not only are...

A place of difference

Soho Square, London, United Kingdom
By alexkoz on May 27, 2008
3/5
Soho is a famous place for an alternative crowd, however on a sunny afternoon the Soho Square is the place to relax and show off your 'alternativeness'. All forms of people congregate at the square to social and relaxing on the grass. A short walk around the a...
