Regno Unito, Londra, Oxford Street, Autunno 2018

Oxford Street è una strada principale della città di Westminster, nel West End di Londra, Regno Unito. È la via commerciale più frequentata d'Europa, con circa mezzo milione di visitatori ogni giorno. Nel 2012 contava circa 300 negozi. La strada era originariamente una strada romana, parte della Via Trinobantina tra Essex e Hampshire, attraverso Londra. Era conosciuta come Tyburn Road durante il Medioevo e una volta era famosa per i prigionieri della prigione di Newgate trasportati qui verso l'impiccagione pubblica. Divenne nota come Oxford Road e poi Oxford Street nel 18° secolo, e iniziò a cambiare da strada residenziale a commerciali verso la fine del 19° secolo, attirando anche commercianti di strada, imbroglioni e prostitute. I primi grandi magazzini in Gran Bretagna aprirono su Oxford Street all'inizio del XX secolo, tra cui Selfridges, John Lewis e HMV. La strada subì pesanti bombardamenti durante la seconda guerra mondiale, e diversi negozi tra cui John Lewis furono completamente distrutti e ricostruiti da zero.

Oxford Street is a major road in the City of Westminster, in the West End of London, United Kingdom. It is Europe's busiest shopping street, with around half a million daily visitors, and as of 2012 had approximately 300 shops. The road was originally a Roman road, part of the Via Trinobantina between Essex and Hampshire via London. It was known as Tyburn Road through the Middle Ages and was once notorious as a street where prisoners from Newgate Prison would be transported towards a public hanging. It became known as Oxford Road and then Oxford Street in the 18th century, and began to change character from a residential street to commercial and retail purposes by the late 19th century, also attracting street traders, confidence tricksters and prostitution. The first department stores in Britain opened on Oxford Street in the early 20th century, including Selfridges, John Lewis and HMV. The street suffered heavy bombing during World War II, and several longstanding stores including John Lewis were completely destroyed and rebuilt from scratch.
