Carnaby Street is one of the trendiest, coolest and busiest streets in London. Situated in the heart of London, close to Oxford Street and Regent Street, thousands upon thousands of people flock here all the time. But, the question is - why??

It's probably down to intrigue more than anything. The name 'Carnaby Street' alone is famous. People know there's shops down there, but probably not sure what sort of shops if they've never been down there before.

The shops alone are a fascination to me. I find it a very 'hip' and 'trendy' place to shop. There are music stores, souvenir shops, and all sorts of other shops that sells wacky shoes, clothes, coats, leather jackets and all sorts of strange stuff! I mean, who'd have thought you could buy a pair of platform shoes in the style of the Union Jack?! Personally, I wouldn't wear them, but people do! All the lastest trends and fashions can be found down here, along with accessories for your body and hair which will leave you looking stunning!

The nearest tube station is Oxford Circus. The only downside to Carnaby Street, along with most of London really, is that it does get very busy, which happens to be most of the time when the shops are open.
