London walk from Green Park to Oxford Circus via Piccadilly, The Ritz, Burlington Arcade, Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, Heddon Street, Carnaby Street, Liberty London, Maddox Street returning to Regent Street and Oxford Circus for a view of Oxford Street east and west.
Walk with me through the designer shops and cute streets between Piccadilly and Oxford Circus. Starting from Green Park I walk along Piccadilly past The Ritz and through Burlington Arcade to arrive at the gentlemen’s outfitters of Sackville Street and onto Piccadilly Circus from where I head along Regent Street, taking a couple of detours along Heddon Street to restaurant spot and then into Carnaby Street once the cool capital of the UK, quickly viewing Liberty London, spotting the Maddox Gallery florally festooned and then finally ending the walk at Oxford Circus. Phew…. is that everything covered?! Oh, and don’t forget Max the collie dog who mistook my gimbal for a stick and wanted to play, bless him; he had been out walking since 11am and I met him at 3pm just before he was heading home.
The area north of Piccadilly and west of Regent Street is, in my opinion, very rewarding if you want to just wander and see what the world brings you - restaurants, pubs, little shops, cute streets - there are bits of old London around most corners. The detours through the Burlington Arcade, along Heddon Street and then Carnaby Street weren’t planned and neither was the Maddox Street gallery all covered in flowers. I do like a bit of spontaneity😊
