Charlotte Street 

Charlotte Street is another one of those that despite its relatively small size, has managed to make a bit of a name for itself. Hidden nicely in the corner made by Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, it makes for a welcome retreat from these surrounding streets, and will most likely figure highly in any plans for eating while in the area. It is this seemingly endless number of restaurants for which Charlotte Street has become primarily known, for while there are a good handful of shops there, these are mainly hair and beauty salons, food shops and a few technology shops. Clothes shopping won't be at the top of the list. But with Oxford Street literally on the doorstep, you don't need clothes shops, or department stores, or mega corporate chains, because you'll be here to get away from all that. So, buy your last pair of shoes and head on over for a well-deserved drink before taking your pick at the wide range of cuisines on offer.
