New Oxford Street runs east from the end of Oxford Street towards High Holborn, marking the northern edge of the Covent Garden and Bloomsbury district. It is a wide, busy thoroughfare carrying heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and it functions as one of the main east-west arteries at the top of the area. The street was cut through in the nineteenth century to improve movement between the West End and Holborn, and its scale and straight line reflect that purpose. Frontages along it are larger than those on the smaller streets to the south, with a mix of retail units, offices and commercial premises. Foot traffic is constant, made up of commuters, shoppers and people moving between the shops of Oxford Street and the museums and offices around Bloomsbury. It connects to Museum Street, which leads north to the British Museum, and it sits close to Tottenham Court Road Underground station at its western end. The character of New Oxford Street is that of a major central London route rather than a destination in itself, though it gives access to the quieter streets and courts of Covent Garden that open off its southern side. Its position makes it a key connecting road for the wider area.
