Things to do in London: Enjoy traffic-free West End shopping
Last Updated: Tue 17 Nov 2009

Those visiting England's capital in the run up to Christmas can enjoy a traffic-free day of London shopping in the West End.

Saturday, December 5th will be the fifth Shop West End Very Important Pedestrians (VIP) Day and, from midday, Oxford Street and Regent Street will be closed to vehicles.

Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, said: "Year after year, VIP Day continues to be a resounding success and a highlight in the Christmas shopping calendar."

He added that London's West End is renowned across the globe as a "fantastic" place to shop, attracting millions of visitors from across the country and overseas.

New West End Company, which represents retailers in London's West End, said that, last year, Shop West End VIP Weekend generated £150 million of sales for West End retailers with £32 million being made on the Saturday alone.

For those wanting to avoid the hustle and bustle of the busy London shopping streets, there are plenty of other things to do in London, such as visiting the city's galleries and museums.
