Quite possibly the busiest crossing in all of London. Don't arrange to meet people here as it's a nightmare navigating all of the other people. You do have access to regent Street and Oxford Street
London24May 1, 2012Based on the Shibuya crossing in Tokyo, the Oxford Circus crossing gives shoppers and commuters around 70 per cent more room in one of the most crowded city centre areas in Europe.
Duncan MetcalfeApril 3, 2014Don't walk down Regent St to get to Piccadilly Circus; too crowded. Cut down Carnaby St then other side streets for a quicker walk and interesting small shops on the way.
The underground station is always busy and crowded, but it's a nice area with good shops! Check out Nike store there.
I always love trips to oxford Street with loads of shops and restaurants. You can find anything you want :)
It's often not pleasant (noisy and hugely over-crowded) ...but you can't deny there's something pretty magic about standing slap-bang in the heart of London, watching the world go by.
British Transport PoliceNovember 9, 2011Pickpockets operate in this area, so always keep your valuables hidden and your bag zipped up. Watch the ‘tricks of pickpockets’ and the tell-tale signs at
Alexandros GeorgiouMarch 9, 2016The lights were so bright making you feel so good. A street full of life 💕
Bogdan GunaNovember 2, 2016A good place to get a taste of London's architecture. Also good for people watching and shopping.- The little green man disappears very fast! Watch out for the little angry red man or you'll get run over by his big red friend: the double-decker bus!
Magdalena MrázkováMay 2, 2015One of busiest places in London. Zillions of tourists and shopping-stricken Londoners. Still worth undergoing the danger of being stomped to death;)
SwarmstrongJune 23, 2016Unimaginable amount of shops! And if you go off the main roads you can find some lovely little pubs and bars.
Magnus JernJanuary 16, 2016Crowded, stressful, traffic everywhere, same high street brands as everywhere else but yet it's got a pulse and heart of London...
StarGirl11January 3, 2016Tons of camera shops here. If your in need of some new supplies for whatever camera you own there are plenty of shops to choose from.
Abdulrahman Almunayes 🇰🇼February 26, 2020The Foggy City! Very attractive to Tourists. NOT recommended for kids. Adults Oriented Touristic Destination. Well known for shopping, history, theaters, Fish & Chips Restaurants, very expensive city
Warwick KayMarch 29, 2015Go here if you want to lose hours shopping or want to shop for hours (depending on your perspective)
- David JamesSeptember 16, 2015Amazing shopping street. But advice, don't stop walking. Keep with the flow and you won't get run into by other people 😀
Kevin McCulleyJuly 13, 2015The crush of people can make navigating Oxford Circus a little hard, but as the centre of the West End's shopping mecca it's unmissable.
Fahad H.November 2, 2014Most famous location if you continue forward you will go to the New Oxford Street. Must visit 😊
Alex TomlinsonNovember 8, 2014The trick with shopping on Oxford street is to shop just off Oxford street. It's mad busy all the time
Dominic FeeneyNovember 20, 2014The busiest shopping street in Europe. Very touristy and flooded with chain stores. Selfridges is the highlight
Social News NetworkNovember 29, 2012One of London's most crowded areas is Oxford Circus, similar to Times Square in New York City. This place has some of the best shops and eateries in London.- Get ready for the great pedestrian battle... Wait for the green man and GO! First person to walk in a straight line without stopping or bumping in to anyone else wins!!
Jorge HernándezJuly 30, 2019One of the busiest places in London, filled with stores and amazing architecture
Emma BanfieldJuly 13, 2015Avoid apart from the people spectacle. Through roads round all the back streets are better and some quirky with shops to look in to and places to eat and drink
Malek AlmutairiApril 10, 2017The call this the most famous shopping street in the world with up to 30 million vitiator here each year.- Steve BellDecember 11, 2016Great but busy place for tourists and people watching. People from all over the world enjoying London.
LisetteMarch 9, 2016Best to avoid crossing here at any cost unless you r tourist, hard core shopper, or just simply mad.
Janet CheungSeptember 1, 2014Always a great place to shop and plenty of restaurants around use swarm and foursquare to find ur tastes
- One of the most crowded place, and a good starting point for shopping!!!
- Tom KaivSeptember 25, 2015Whatever the day that you are going it will always be busy, just patience will get through it!!
Merel Van de WielJanuary 30, 2016Go to Oxford Circus station if you're in for a good day shopping - direct access to Oxford Street where all the big stores are.
Aidu FNovember 15, 2014Avoid taking the tube here during peak hours. It gets so busy they'll shut the gates and there'll be long queue up the stairs all the way out while d amount of people on the platform eases out.
Arvid SchneiderJanuary 16, 2015Exit at the Oxford Street to enter the huge shopping paradise. Be careful of thy cars though
Simon SaintMarch 19, 2015Avoid the area between 5.30pm and 6.45pm on weeknights, there's always a wait to get in and huge crowds...
This place gets crazy after 5.30 on weekdays. Walk to the nearest tube station is advised
SmartmaticMarch 15, 2012One of the busiest and most emblematic areas of London, where Regent Street and Oxford Street intersect.
HISTORY UKFebruary 15, 2011Oxford Circus got its new diagonal pedestrian crossing in 2009. It was inspired by crossings in Tokyo like the one at Shibuya, and in recognition of this Japanese musicians played at the opening.
NmSeptember 6, 2020Oxford Street Vs Regent Street .. One of the most famous intersections in LONDON !!
It's a really cool novelty to cross the 'X' like in Tokyo, unfortunately, unlike Tokyo it's gotten pretty grotty, pretty quickly. Read more
Abdullah AljumaAugust 11, 2014Please. Please. Just don't stop in the middle of the side walk to take pictures.
Elizabeth LeeNovember 19, 2014Shopping addicts will be comfortable here. Perhaps better to travel here by buses than the crazy crowded tube?
