A cool pedestrians-only area near Oxford Street, Carnaby Street is an area, more than a street. Shops and cafes line the wide walkways and no-car intersections; buy duds from Diesel jeans to antique hippie wear on London's Carnaby Street. A very sweet little coffee shop called Sacred (13 Ganton Street) is a good place to rest your shopping-tired tootsies while having a cardamom-flavored cup of Thai coffee with condensed milk (it's delish).
