Stay at hotels near Oxford Street for a Christmas shopping trip

As winter draws in, the festive spirit is bubbling up inside of all of us and it will soon be time to start preparations for this merry time of year. One great way to get more enjoyment out of what can be a very panicked and stressful few months is to plan ahead and be prepared – by organising a trip, you can make an enjoyable event out of it - either time to take yourself for some truly dedicated shopping/alone time or invite the girls and make a group escapade out of it. Whichever way you think about it, a shopping weekend is a fantastic way to get prepared and into the Christmas spirit and what better destination than our energetic and vivacious capital in which case you will need to look at hotels near Oxford Street.

Although gift giving is a beautiful thing, the pressures of Christmas can mount up and become too much, this year break the habit of leaving things to the last minute, plan ahead and enjoy the experience more. Allowing yourself to let your hair down with friends will make you feel on top form when the time comes for basting the turkey.

Oxford Street is the central destination for all shoppers, a perfect place to load up on stocking fillers and see the lights. There are a large choice of hotels near Oxford Street but be sure to do your research - although location is massively important (and you should aim to be no more than a stone's throw from the main area if you are to fit in the maximum amount of retail therapy in one day), do not forget about the quality of your accommodation. A boutique hotel like The Leonard is a great option with an intimate feel that can guarantee maximum local knowledge and advice to help with your bargain hunting and set you on your way for a most productive stay.

You may find other hotels near Oxford Street not to the same standard as the Leonard, and it is important to make the most of your stay in London and enjoy a luxurious and comfortable hotel after such a tiring day pounding the pavement spending your hard earned cash.  The Leonard is a beautiful boutique and perfectly located hotel which, unlike other such hotels near Oxford Street, offers a high level of service and a range of beautifully decorated rooms suited for families, couples, individuals and groups. The great place to base yourself for a pre-Christmas weekend in the city, with the West End just a few tube stops away and top attractions like Marble Arch and the London Eye right round the corner.
