[david12]

I’m heading to London soon and I’m really excited to check out Oxford Street. I’ll be staying near Victoria Station. Does anyone have any experience with taking the bus from there to Oxford Street? I’d love to hear about the best bus routes or if there are any particular stops I should look for.

Thanks a ton!

Absolutely, I can help with that!

Hey there! Welcome to London in advance—you’re in for a treat with Oxford Street. It’s one of the busiest shopping streets in the city, so get ready for some serious retail therapy!

Now, getting there from Victoria Station by bus is pretty straightforward, and it’s a great way to see the city as you go. The buses in London are super frequent, so you won’t be waiting long.

Best Bus Routes:
You’ve got a few good options, but I’d recommend hopping on either the Bus 390 or Bus 73.

Bus 390: This one’s handy because it takes you through some interesting parts of London, including Marble Arch, which is at the western end of Oxford Street. The ride should take around 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic, and you can catch it from the bus stops near Victoria Station. Just look for the 390 headed towards Archway.

Bus 73: Another solid option, which goes a bit further down Oxford Street. You’ll go through Piccadilly Circus and Regent Street, which is an added bonus if you’re up for a little sightseeing while you’re at it. The bus will eventually drop you near the Tottenham Court Road end of Oxford Street.

Stops to Watch For:
Marble Arch (Stop M): If you want to start your shopping spree from one end of Oxford Street, this is your stop. It’s right near Selfridges, one of the most iconic department stores in London.

Oxford Circus (Stop R or S): This is smack dab in the middle of Oxford Street, perfect if you want to hit the shops around that area. It’s also a major junction if you decide to explore Regent Street as well.

Tottenham Court Road (Stop C or D): Ideal if you’re heading towards the eastern end of Oxford Street, closer to places like Primark, Zara, and more.

One more tip—try to sit on the top deck of the bus if you can. You’ll get a great view of the city, which is always a bonus. Plus, it’s just a fun way to see London!

Hope that helps, and enjoy your time in the city! If you need any more tips or info, just shout. Cheers!
