Tourist Trap: Oxford St
  • Tip Rating:
  • Avoid the bottom end of Oxford Street / Tottenham Court Road. Its nasty and dirty and the shops are full of over-priced tat.
    Try not to trip over the beggars!

    Alternative: If you are in that area and are looking for a decent restaurant (or if you have been to see a show at the Dominion), carry on further up Tottenham Crt Road and turn left into Goodge Street by the Tube Station (about 10 minutes walk). There are a number of good places along Charlotte Street and you won't have to dodge beggars and drunks etc. (Thai Metro was pretty good last time I went)

     Very helpful tips--the escalator rule is so true! I wish people on the pavement understood the same rule--it seems to be a free for all on most London "sidewalks." :)
