Young couple near Bond Street
Oxford St the busiest High St in the West End and, indeed, the busiest shopping street in Europe. Its 1.5 miles stretch from Marble Arch to
Centre Point and hosts 300 shops mostly of the throw-away fashion : H&M, French Connection, HMV, Look and so on and so forth. The road blocked to car traffic, excluding the double-decker red buses, and crammed with young shoppers from everywhere. Me, I sometimes
dip into Selfridges or Uniqlo but mostly I try to stay away : too much, too many.
