1. SHOPPING IN LONDON
SHOPPING IN LONDON
Street markets

2. The shops on Oxford and Regent Streets

3. Oxford street
• - Oxford Street is one and a half miles
from end to end. Most shops open
10am until 6 or 7pm. Many also open on
Sunday from 12 to 6pm with late nights
on Thursday. Oxford Street is best
known for Selfridges and the other big
department stores which are all found
in the section from Marble Arch to
Oxford Circus, along with most of the
big-name multinationals. It's more of
the same towards Tottenham Court
Road, but generally on a smaller scale.
Oxford Street is said to be the busiest
shopping street in Europe

4. Regent Street
• Regent Street forms a neat dividing line between swanky Mayfair to the West and
trendy Soho to the East. The main shopping section of the street lies between Oxford
Circus to the north, and Piccadilly Circus to the south - a distance of about 3/4 of a
mile. Our panoramas will help you see what's on offer, especially as the shops here
can all appear rather uniform due to the regulations that they must blend in with the
elegant architecture of the street. Regent Street has similar shop opening hours to
Oxford Street.

5. NOTING HILL
AND
PORTBELLO STREETS

6. Notthing Hill
• Nottthing Hill is an area in London, close to the north-western corner
of Kensington Gardens, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and
Chelsea. It is a cosmopolitan district known as the location for the
annual Notting Hill Carnival
• Notting Hill has a contemporary reputation as an affluent and
fashionable area;known for attractive terraces of large Victorian
townhouses, and high-end shopping and restaurants (particularly
around Westbourne Grove and Clarendon Cross). A Daily Telegraph
article in 2004 used the phrase the 'Notting Hill Set’ to refer to a group
of emerging Conservative politicians, such as David Cameron and
George Osborne, now respectively Prime Minister and Chancellor of
the Exchequer. However, the large houses have also provided multi-
occupancy rentals for much of the 20th century. Caribbean immigrants
were drawn to the area in the 1950s, partly because of the dubious
practices followed by the landlord Peter Rachman, and became the
target of white Teddy Boys in the 1958 Notting Hill race riots.
• Notting Hill has had an association with artists and "alternative"
culture since its development in the 1820s. There are also areas of
deprivation to the north,sometimes referred to as North Kensington,
or Ladbroke Grove, from the name of the street

7. Portobello Road
Portobello Road is a street in the Notting Hill ,London . It runs almost the length of Notting Hill
from south to north, roughly parallel with Ladbroke Grove. On Saturdays it is home to Portobello
Road Market, one of London's notable street markets, known for its second-hand clothes and
antiques. Every August since 1996 the Portobello Film Festivalhas been held in locations around
Portobello Road.

8. STORES IN MAYFAIR
AND PICCADILLY

9. • Mayfair
At the very heart of the London borough of
Westminster is Mayfair, one of the city's finest
residential areas and one of London's most
attractive villages.
Class, sophistication, and finery are all
synonymous with Mayfair, which takes its name
from the fortnight-long May Fair, which took
place in the borough from 1686 until 1764.
Situated between Oxford Street, Regent Street,
Piccadilly and Park Lane, Mayfair is home to
some of the finest shopping establishments in
the world.
Many of the establishments in Mayfair are as old
as the district itself. Our Business Directory
contains many of Mayfair’s hidden gems that you
wouldn’t otherwise know how to find.

10. Piccadilly
Piccadilly is the wide and busy main road that leads to
Picccadilly Circus. It is home to the The Ritz Hotel and the
Fortnum and Mason department store which has stood at
the same site for almost three hundred years. The Royal
Academy art institute is on the northside of Piccadilly at
Burlington House. Paeralll to Piccadilly to the south, is
quieter Jermyn Street with its long-established menswear
shops, especially shirtmakers.

11. CHARING CROSS ROAD
AND CAMDEN MARKET

12. CHARING CROSS
ROAD
Charing Cross Road is a street in
central London running immediately
north of St Martin-in-the-Fields to St
Giles Circus and then becomes
Tottenham Court Road. It is so called
because it serves Charing Cross railway
station (named for the nearby Charing
Cross).
Charing Cross Road was developed, in
conjunction with Shaftesbury Avenue,
by the Metropolitan Board of Works
under an 1877 Act of Parliament at a
cost of £778,238. The two streets and
others such as the Thames
Embankment Northumberland
Avenue, Kingsway and Aldwych were
built to improve traffic flow through
central London. It incorporated the
routes of several older streets.

13. CAMDEN
- Camden Lock Market, by the
canal, was the original craft
market, established in 1974, but
now has a much wider spectrum of
goods on sale. Both this and the
ever popular Camden Stables
Market - centre of the alternative
fashion scene, Camden (Buck
Street) Market, the recently
improved Camden Lock Villageand
Inverness Street Market - which
thrived on local trade long before
tourists discovered Camden, are all
open every day, making the area
well worth a mid-week visit. But it is
at the weekend that the market
scene jumps fully into life with all
stalls and shops at the markets fully
trading. The indoor fashion market
at the Electric Ballroom opens on
Sunday

14. EAST LONDON’S STREET MARKETS
It is one of a number of traditional markets located to the east of the City of London. A few hundred yards to the north
is Old Spitalfields market, which has been refurbished, and across Commercial Street, to the east, lies Brick Lane
Market. A half mile further east is the Columbia Road Flower Market. Petticoat Lane Market was not formally
recognised until an Act of Parliament in 1936, but its long history as an informal market makes it possibly one of the
oldest surviving markets in Britain.
The market is open Monday to Friday on Wentworth Street; on Sunday it extends over many of the surrounding streets,
with over a thousand stalls. It is closed on Saturday, and on Sunday closes at about 2 pm. The markets are well signed
from local stations. Despite its fame and history, Petticoat Lane market is not designed as a tourist attraction.
