Saturday, I planned to complete my Christmas shopping down Oxford street as they has closed off traffic to that road and regents street for the whole day.
So arrive at Oxford Circus at about 1pm. I was so amazed No cars anywhere… Now I think some of the tourist didn’t get the idea of a traffic free shopping day and were still walking on the pavement.
So i decided to do some shopping, Good offers everywhere, 30% off everything at Levi’s, 20% off everything at body shop and 10% off everything at Debenhams are some of the offers i can remember.
First store i went to was the Apple store. Ipod Nano’s were selling like hot cakes i couldn’t believe the amount they were shifting.
Went to a few other store but i won’t bore you with the details, I think the event was a victim of its own success cos there was just shit loads of people…. too many… all the food places were packed… so i couldn’t even get a drink and Selfridges was totally packed… you could hardly move in some departments (Check out the pic)
What was good that there was alot of onstreet entertainment like live bands etc and they also had large PA systems all the way down regent street just playing music…
I found it very hard to buy anything today and actually gave up in the end.
Street Entertainment
Selfridges Packed!
Tired
Wondered how they reopened the road to traffic? They sent in loads of police officers… it was like a curfew was announced or something…
