Selfridges
Since 1908 Oxford Street has been considered a shopping mecca with the building of Selfridges, a high-end department store in high competition with Harrod's. The store is famous for its exclusive collections of merchandise.
Marquee Club
London is home to many legendary clubs, but one of the most influential was the famous Marquee Club. The Marquee Club eventually moved to Soho, but its original address was on Oxford Street.
