Hotspot 42

At the edge of the park stands the Arch,

Where the shoppers and tourists all march.

Once a gate for the Queen,

Now it anchors the scene,

With a history stiff as shirt starch.


But look where the black taxis now queue,

The ground holds a secret or two.

Near where “Best of British" now stands,

Once the Tyburn Tree governed these lands,

A past that is hidden from view.


So welcome to Oxford Street’s start,

Where commerce is blended with art.

From the Underground sign

To Hyde Park’s skyline

This place is the city’s true heart.

Another London hotspot: Marble Arch near the shops at the western end of Oxford Street
