4 Famous Streets In London A First Timers Guide

London is packed to the brim with iconic things- people, bridges, attractions, buildings, waterways; the list goes on and on.

But what ties these things together to make them more than individual hot spots? That’s right; the streets.

London’s streets have become famous all round the world for many reasons, and they are all worth exploring. So book a room in The Queens Park Hotel London, perhaps the best accommodation near Hyde Park London, to ensure you have the most comfortable stay possible; then get ready to explore.

London is a sprawling city with tens of thousands of streets- so how on earth are you supposed to know where the action is? Well, hopefully this guide will help you to navigate your way around to its absolute best streets.

Let’s dive in.

Oxford Street

Oxford Street

Oxford Street is probably one of the most recognisable street names in the world- and for good reason. The Oxford Street area is one of the premier shopping districts in London, and attracts millions of people every year.

You’ll find some of the world’s top international brands, world class bars and some of the best restaurants in the city.

There is a lot of history here too; previously known as Tyburn Street this area is one of the oldest areas in the city.

From your city centre double room hotel, London will be all about you and Oxford Street is an easy walk down the road.

The Mall

The Mall is an incredibly iconic street. It stretches, straight as an arrow, from Trafalgar Square all the way up to the gates of Buckingham Palace.

The Mall essentially acts as a red carpet and is used as a key part of the processional route for British celebrations and Royal related activities.

Abbey Road

Abbey Road does not actually have that much going on. It’s a long connecting road that links part of a suburban area to the rest of the city- and it was forever immortalised by The Beatles album cover.

We’ve all seen the picture of the band using the crosswalk, and you can actually recreate this picture yourselves! The same crossing is still there to this day- although there are a few more angry Londoners around nowadays, who might not be very happy about being held up!

Baker Street

Baker Street

Baker Street is another one that, on the surface, does not seem to have that much going on.

But upon closer inspection, you may just recognise it. It was the home of super sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his ever faithful sidekick Dr. Watson.

It was used in the movies featuring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, as well as the BBC television series featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

There is an excellent little museum dedicated to the pair beneath one of the most famous addresses in the world: 221b Baker Street.

Exploring London

So there you have it, some of the most famous streets in London, and maybe even the world.

Explore these incredible areas, then return to comfort at the London Hotel Queens Park, one of the best hotels near Albert Hall to rest up in style.
