Carnaby Street

Carnaby Street is a pedestrianised shopping street in London, located in the Soho district, near Oxford Street and Regent Street.


It consists of twelve pedestrianised streets with numerous fashion and lifesyle retailers, including a large number of independent fashion boutiques.


Entering in Carnaby Street, you will find it quite different from the rest in the Soho district because of its special street ornamentation.


There is a huge wall painting at the entrance of Carnaby Street summarizing various activities in Soho district. It’s a cobblestone street rather than the normal concrete one.


There are diverse shapes of balloons hanging over the streets including hearts, reindeers, and trees.


There are also some street artists from all over the world showing their different performs. There’s even a young guy from South America playing diabolo, a traditional Chinese performance.


The retailers on each side of the street are all well designed as well. Take Diesel for example, the storefront is made like a big radio.


Kingly Court is another fasinating building with three floors. It is not that prominnet at first sight. But when you go into the building, you will find all the interesting products there.


For instance, there is one bag boutique. The boss goes to China to select jade for decorating the bags.


Walking in Carnaby Street, you will find all art cells in your body are saying “hello” to the walls and shopwindows.
