Argyll Street is short, and it has been here since the early 18th century. It takes its name from John Campbell, the 2nd Duke of Argyll, and the Georgian character still shows. Sat just off Oxford Circus, it puts you a few steps from one of London's busiest transport hubs, with the Victoria, Bakerloo and Central lines all within reach.
What most people know it for is the London Palladium. The theatre has welcomed global stars and royalty since the early 1900s, and its lights still set the tone for the street. Away from the stage, you'll find flagship fashion outlets and corporate offices, so it pulls in shoppers and professionals in roughly equal measure.
For such a small street, it carries real weight. Noble beginnings, then fashion and theatre, all packed into a tight stretch of central London. The businesses along it are worth a look while you're passing.
