Best Streets in London for the Fun & Wealthy Part 8 - Oxford Street

One of the better known streets in London, Oxford Street, is located in the city of Westminster and is one of the centerpoints of the "West End". The original street location dates back to the Roman times as do so many in the UK.

The current name of Oxford Street was adopted in the 18th century as The Duke of Oxford had purchased much of the surrounding land. On the present day Oxford Street you will find stores with famous household names such as Selfridges, John Lewis, Debenhams, HMV, Marks and Spencer, Disney Store, and many more.

Midway down Oxford Street, close to the intersection with Regent Street, are the more "trendy" stores favored by the young and wealthy, including H&M, United Colours of Benetton, and Niketown.
