Hi,

Welcome to All In London.

To visit the London Eye, Harrods and Oxford Street the Tube is your best bet. All of the stations you need are in zone 1 and are very close together. The distances to walk between these locations aren't huge but then if you've only got one day you're better off saving time by using the Tube.

Hope that helps, have a great trip to London.

Get a 1 Day off peak travel ticket for zones 1&2. You can use this on tubes and buses and also get 1/3 of a boat ride if you wish.

I agree and Victoria Tube Station is just a 300 metre walk from the Coach Station and a 5 minute tube ride from Oxford Circus on the Victoria Line

But if you are travelling at a weekend, tube line closures are common so you may want to check TFL before leaving to plan routes

you could walk between the london eye and oxford street. if you havent been to london before then you'll see some good things on the way.
from the london eye go across westminster bridge, (to look at big ben, parliament and westminster abbey), up whitehall (to see downing street) to trafalgar square (nelsons column), then carry on to piccadilly circus (eros) and down regent street, which will take you to oxford street.
the whole walk won't take more than half an hour

Good call. That's an especially beautiful walk once it gets dark (which is obviously quite early at this time of year)

I agree with you but getting into the tube won't show you so much as if you walk around and I believe will take you the same time
