Marble Arch at the heart of major retail road Oxford Street is famously known as a place where you are more likely to be jostled by shopping bags than people.
The area is a hectic purchasing arena full of consumers who often unknowingly wander by the arch that provides the name given to the area. The white Carrara marble monument majestically stands on a large traffic island at the junction of Oxford Street, Park Lane, and Edgware Road.
Country’s Biggest Classical Music Gig
Marble Arch has several events in September that provide a distraction for any shopper who wishes to take another path in their tourist route. A major event a few minutes away in Hyde Park will be held on the 7th of September for the country’s biggest classical music gig, BBC Proms in the Park.
The outdoor concert is the popular finale to the BBC Proms event so why not pack a generous picnic hamper together and join this special evening of entertainment.
