Updated: Dec 31, 2024

INTRODUCTION

This collection of 5 routes takes you on a shopping trip around the main centres in the West End of London.

The L10 Bond Street Luxury Shopping is a straight route from New Bond Street to Piccadilly, passing many of its luxury shops, galleries, and auction houses. It becomes Old Bond Street by the Burlington Shopping Arcade before ending at Green Park just off Piccadilly.

The L11 Piccadilly and Jermyn Street Gentleman’s Shopping route covers the sights and shops along these streets, including the Ritz, the Royal Academy, Burlington Arcade, Fortnum and Mason, and Piccadilly Circus.

The L12 Regent and Carnaby Street Trendy Shopping route covers the shopping areas around Regent Street, Beak Street, Carnaby Street, and Great Marlborough Street.

The L13 Oxford Street West Shopping route takes you on a trip down its western side past some of London's best-known department stores, such as John Lewis, Selfridges and Mark and Spencer - many of which have been on this street for over 60 years, while others, such as Debenhams and the House of Fraser, are no more and are being redeveloped.

The R14 Marble Arch to Hyde Park Corner route takes you by Hyde Park Corner and Park Lane before heading into Mayfair past Mount Street, Berkeley Square, Shepherd Market, and the western end of Piccadilly by Green Park, finishing off at Hyde Park Corner.
