London's Oxford Street is one of the most important thoroughfares in the central London Borough of Westminster and is one of the world's most famous shopping streets.

Department store, Lookout, Historic building

For me personally, Battersea Power Station is one of the most interesting attractions in London. This monumental former power station now forms the centrepiece of a new neighbourhood on the banks of the Thames. Inside, you’ll find shops and restaurants, whilst the surrounding area features a pedestrian zone, a park and modern buildings; one of the chimneys is home to the unique observation lift, The Chimney Lift. If you’re visiting London for…
