Most Malaysians who have been to London would know Oxford Street. Starting from Marble Arch, the straight street that is also a shopping haven is widely known by shopaholics and their partners....from Marble Arch, the main shopping areas are up to Oxford Circus and even to Tottenham Court Road. Therefore most people would have walked the whole length of Oxford Street but how many have walked ON the street instead of the pavements along it?
Well, today Oxford Street is different (to us at least!) as it is a Traffic Free day from 1200 noon to 0500 pm. In conjunction with the launch of the movie Night At the Museum 2, a promotional event is held along the 'pedestrian only' Oxford Street. We got there close to 4pm today and it was a different experience.
Dotted along the street are the characters from the movie and also some other street performances. The T-Rex skeleton and the rocket proved to be favourites amongst kids (and the not so young), but the main attraction must have been the crowd itself. Watching Oxford Street from Bond Street station towards Oxford street
full of people is quite a sight in itself. The weather is also great today, I heard something about the warmest day in May....dunno.
