the UK government.

The heart of London shopping, bustling Oxford Street has more than 300 shops, designer outlets and landmark stores.

Bond Street and Mayfair are the ideal places to go for some extravagant retail therapy – London's most exclusive shopping area, home to big names, including Burberry, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany.
Carnaby Street, the birthplace of the fashion and cultural revolution during the Swinging 60s, and the surrounding streets are two minutes away from Piccadilly Circus – here you'll find an intriguing mix of stores and boutiques. We recommend refuelling at restaurant hub Kingly Court, just off Carnaby Street.
Whether you want hip fashion or unique gifts, Covent Garden is a great place to explore. Seven Dials and picture-pretty Neal's Yard for a true taste of London's most distinctive shopping area. Here you'll find Neal's Yard Dairy with its range of delicious British farm cheeses, and the flagship Neal's Yard Remedies.
But don't miss the National Gallery. Here you will find works by masters such as Van Gogh, da Vinci and Renoir – and spend some time in the British Museum. Highlights include the Parthenon sculptures and the mummies in the Ancient Egypt collection.
