Known for its abundance of daffodils in spring, otherwise one of the "simpler green spaces" in the center.

For a sightseeing walk through London, this is the perfect starting point, as it's easily accessible by Underground. From Oxford Circus, you can easily visit Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Chinatown, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, Big Ben, and the British Museum on foot! While it can get quite busy here, it's still highly recommended!

Of course mostly an exhibition annex shop on the style of the novel than a museum with real historic artefacts. Still an intersting place to visit, especially for fans.
