YEs if you want to pay £5 more for everything to cover the extortionate rents in Oxford Street. Selfridges is agood bet for everything clothing wise. Harrods is in Knightsbridge. Walk down Park Lane (Remember to stare in the McLaren shop window 
) and through a bit of Hyde Park and you'll get there.
Oh and its Tottenham Court Road if you want anything electrical.
Might be better going to Bluewater in Kent. J1 or 2 on the M25

Harrods not worth the time. Selfridges is far cooler and better staff. Also the fashion selections walk right over Harrods. be carefull in Tottenham Court road some pikey shops around that dont want to know about any problems....

Selfridges.........huge range of mens clothing.
New Bond Street....loads of great watch shops,top end stuff mind you.Also Timberland store.
Harrods,over rated,dont like it myself.
Park Lane...Aston Martin dealer..
Regents Street,....some good clothes shops.
tbh Oxford Street is just like any high street,loads of Next,McDonalds etc.
When i go to London i spend 2 hours in Selfridges and take a walk down New Bond Street and thats it.The rest aint worth the effort.

Black Cabs will mostly have gone Home...they dont want the agro
So you are left with a choice of a Nigerian /somali or Albanian who hasnt had any sleep in 2 days. Has had a bit of speed and driving a car he has Borrowed.It wont have tax or MOT and might need a push to get it started.
Good luck.
