Yeah, Oxford Street is toooo long. I hate when I'm getting off the tube there and I already know I need to walk to the other side XD London makes you a bit lazy sometimes, I'm annoyed when there isn't a tube right by where I need to be haha.

Ugh yes haha I hate it too when you're with a big group of shoppers and one goes 'I def want to check out that store' and then someone else goes 'oh and we need to visit that one for me!' and of course they're on opposite ends of Oxford D':
I always just want to visit Hamleys and Forbidden Planet, and then stop by one of the candy stores inbetween to stock up on snacks to take with me to MCM c':

I think the only one I ever go to Oxford st for specifically is the Karl Lagerfeld store. Everything else, I prefer to shop in Covent Garden really. Although that's annoying when it gets really busy and crowded around the street performers
which I sometimes stop and watch even though I've seen most of them before, kind of a guilty pleasure

Are there a lot of big performers? Or is it mostly guitar playing/singing and such?

It's usually more like juggling and circus tricks and magic. Most of it is tricks, if you know what I mean. Looks like they've done something daring or dangerous, but it's actually sleight of hand or simple training XD

It's fun but stupid... usually the payoff isn't worth the 20 or 30 minutes of watching the show XD Also they're pretty notorious for pickpocketing so it's important to watch out for that.

Ah that's not so much a thing here, at least not really that there's parts where people are known to do that. Bit logical ofc since there aren't many group performances as I said

I haven't witnessed it myself but I guess it's a known phenomenon. But then people can be stupid with their bags. Don't leave it open for someone to take it, is what I say.

oh yeah like so many guys with bulging wallets just sitting only halfway into their back pocket, I never get why they do that O.o
I mean esp as a tourist, keep your stuff 'to yourself'.
