00:00What's up everyone?
00:08Today I'm going to take you on a walk of Oxford Street, Europe's busiest shopping street.
00:16I recorded this video on Saturday, November 4th, 2023.
00:21The time is about 8 o'clock p.m. and it's 49 Fahrenheit, 10 degrees Celsius.
00:29Oxford Street is located in London in the United Kingdom, located entirely within the
00:37West End in the city of Westminster.
00:45I'll be walking all the way to Tottenham Court Road.
01:00And it looks like the city turned on the holiday lights for all of us.
01:15You'll find numerous brands here, such as the Apple Store, you have Selfridges, which
01:21is a big department store here, and many other fashion brands.
01:38Across the street is Primark, a large clothing store.
04:07The official map runs underneath Oxford Street and has multiple stations along it.
04:15From my knowledge, there's Marble Arch, Bond Street, Oxford Circus, and also Tottenham
04:53This street is only 1.2 miles long.
05:23The Selfridges store is right across the street from me.
05:38They have some amazing holiday windows.
06:38Really gorgeous, I like that they have the animated curtains.
07:36The Candy Cane Man.
09:06The Ball Ballerina.
10:06Showtime at Selfridges.
10:36The Wings.
10:46Boss.
11:36The Wings.
11:56The Wings.
12:16The Wings.
12:36The Wings.
12:46Bond Street Station across the street.
12:53Also very festive down that way.
13:23This is the Disney Store.
13:44This is the Disney Store.
14:10They call it a footway over here.
14:13We would never say that in the United States.
14:17That would be a walkway.
14:39Now where are you going?
15:07This is the Disney Store.
15:17The Disney Store.
15:27The Disney Store.
15:43Interesting how in this area there's no holiday lights, but starting from the next block they start up again.
15:55It's probably because of all this construction in the area.
16:02Might make it difficult to string lights up.
16:31This is the Disney Store.
16:51This is the Disney Store.

20:28This is the Disney Store.
20:55This is the Circus tube station.
21:02And here's Regent Street, which has not turned on their lights yet.
21:24This is a large H&M store.
21:27I actually went inside an H&M earlier to see how the prices are.
21:34And they're quite comparable to pricing in the United States.
21:39Actually, it's more expensive because everything is priced in British pounds.
21:44And the current exchange rate is one British pound to about $1.24 U.S. dollars.

24:13I notice a lot of people here with shopping bags.
24:18Maybe they're getting their holiday shopping done early.
24:48I knew it was coming.
25:17I'm noticing a lot of repeat stores along Oxford Street.
25:41There's a H&M across the street and another Uniqlo.
25:49I guess this street is so long that having more than one of the same store is necessary.
26:03This is definitely one of the longest shopping streets I've ever walked on.

27:36There's a threat to be a washout because of strong rains and winds.
28:03That was a rather abrupt turn.
