Oxford Street Christmas Shopping Has Begun.

Oxford Street in December is a treacherous place!

It has begun. It's December 1st. That means Oxford street in London is choc a block with people hitting the 300 plus stores to begin their Christmas shopping. That means people walking all over the place with heavy bags and also, tourists who have no idea which way to walk and have no idea whats going on.



As you trudge up out of Oxford Circus Tube Station, you might see a throng of people coming at you, pushing you out of the way, into the road even! You have to get to a shop, any will do! Perhaps Miss Selfridge? Topshop? Or another shop! Be prepared to rip off that coat and scarf and hat though because the stores keep their air conditioning hot to offset the cold winter blast of London in December.

As well as shopping on Oxford street, there are a variety of places to have a sit down to get a bite to eat or a cup of tea or coffee, or a hot chocolate. Take the weight of your plates of meat. (That's 'feet' to you and me!)

Along with the shops and the restaurants, there's plenty to see on the mile and a half road that makes up Oxford street. If you're lucky, there might be a parade in progress!
