Being a crossroads, Oxford Circus is not far away from the action in all directions, with Marylebone to the north, Soho to the east, Mayfair to the west and Piccadilly and Leicester Square to the south.

Oxford Circus is at the very heart of the West End. Exciting attractions are all around you.

Many large fashion outlets have stores on Oxford Circus, including Nike, Topshop and H&M.

To help ease the flow of pedestrian traffic in this very busy area, a new 'diagonal' crossing, allowing people to cross the road in all directions, was opened in 2009, costing £5million.
