Shop Til You Drop Then Enjoy Luxury Accommodation

Oxford Street is one of the most famous and popular streets in London, and this popularity is largely driven by the range and number of shops which are situated along it. Many people, of course, visit London in order to experience the history of the city, which is present in the actual fabric of the place, or to enjoy the culture which is on offer. There are galleries, museums, theatres and exhibition spaces all over the city which are amongst the best of their type in the world, with the added bonus of the fact that huge numbers of the museums and galleries are in fact free to enter. For thousands of visitors, however, London stands out as a major retail destination, offering more and more varied shops than anywhere else in the UK. There are specialist, independent emporiums scattered across the city, providing unique and impressive choices in areas as diverse as food and drink, high fashion, vintage clothing and antique furniture. There are also, and this is where Oxford Street comes into its’ own, flagship versions of most of the biggest high street names in the country, and this combination means that no matter what kind of shopping experience you’re looking for, London is bound to be able to offer it.

Oxford Street is roughly 2.5 kilometres long, running from Marble Arch to St Giles Circus, and it has officially been proclaimed the busiest shopping street in Europe. Along its length there are more than 300 individual shops, large and small, and although other streets might be able to claim to be more fashionable, exclusive and expensive, none can match the sheer range and choice on offer here. Some of the larger stores, often referred to as being the flagship store of the brand in question, include Debenhams, HMV, House of Fraser, John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Topshop and Selfridges. The last of these is actually the second largest department store in the UK and has been present on the same spot since it was built in 1909.

If shopping is what has drawn you to London and, more specifically, Oxford Street, then the ideal accommodation will be a hotel near Oxford Street. The perfect place will be one which is within easy walking distance of the street itself whilst still being situated in a position which offers a little more peace and tranquillity. As exciting and vibrant as the street itself can be, it is also crowded, noisy and more than a little exhausting, and at the end of a day even the most ardent shopper will need somewhere calming to retreat to. Visit www.themarblearchlondon.co.uk and you’ll find a 5 star boutique townhouse hotel which ticks all of these boxes. The Marble Arch by Montcalm is placed on a quiet street literally around the corner from Oxford Street and each of its’ rooms offers stylish and luxurious comfort, with features such as air conditioning, complimentary internet access, a mini bar and flat screen satellite TV. At the end of a day spent exploring the thousands of square feet of retail space on offer in London, the chance to sink into a large and comfortable luxury bed, perhaps whilst ordering some delicious treat from room service, will prove impossible to resist.
