Answer: H & M, United Colours of Benetton, Nike Town and Shelly's

These four stores may be partly responsible for the huge congestion around Oxford Circus, or it could be that there are only 4 narrow access points for the underground, or that it acts as the centre point for Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street!

Answer: Burger King

Although there is a huge advertisement space dedicated to McDonald's right above it, Burger King sits just underneath it and draws in good business from the retail heart of the capital.

Answer: It changes periodically

The 4th plinth of Trafalgar Square has become quite famous in a sense that there has been no suitable figure to place on it, it seems like this modern age is no longer and age of military heroics. In 1999 it was decided to use the plinth for modern art, the artwork changing periodically. For a while it had a waxwork effigy of David Beckham to celebrate the world cup, an artistic sculpture called 'Alison Lapper Pregnant' by Marc Quinn sat there a while, while a blue rooster stood proudly there in 2013.
10. Which building in London, near the London Eye, was formerly the home of the London Council offices but is now a building for exhibitions and businesses?

Answer: County Hall

County Hall (also known as London County Hall) was built in the 1920s to be the administration centre for the London County Council which later became the Greater London Council. When the council was disbanded, the building was used by several organisations but is now in private hands.

There are some permanent entertainment facilities and some of it is used for temporary art exhibitions.
