A
As a major travel destination, London has its fair share of hotels. Unfortunately, many are overpriced, dull or a combination of both. To enjoy London like a Londoner, consider a vacation in one of these trendy neighborhoods.
Oxford Street
Boasting more than 300 high-end shops, Oxford Street is one of the busiest shopping districts in all of Europe. This active street also has a highly dramatic history. In modern times, it has developed into a street where British chain stores hold their celebrity(名人)launches. This includes the century-old Selfridges, the second largest department store in the United Kingdom.
Jermyn Street
Mention Jermyn Street in London, and the first words that come to mind are “gentlemen’s shirts”. In fact, the shirt makers at the famous Turnbull & Asser store have produced shirts for celebrated gentlemen such as Prince Charles and George W Bush. Jermyn Street takes its name from Henry Jermyn, who developed the neighborhood in 1667. Its residents of distinction include Sir Isaac Newton, Colonel Churchill Duke, and the Duchess of Richmond and Lennox.
Dean Street
An interesting history inspired tourists to visit and stay near Dean Street. In 1756 a young musician named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart performed a concert at 21 Dean Street. Karl Marx lived in Dean Street from 1851 to 1856. His house sat above what is now the first-rate restaurant called Quo Vadis. Before he became an author, Charles Dickens was a regular on Dean Street. He participated in amateur productions at Fanny Kelly’s Royalty Theatre, located at 73—74 Dean Street.

A. It is the busiest shopping district in Europe.
B. It once was a drama production site in history.
