Oxford Street, Osu
Oxford Street
Accra's liveliest street for shopping and dining, with restaurants, bars, phone shops, and street food. It is at its most vibrant at night.
Oxford Street is the nickname for Cantonments Road, the main road in Osu. Local restaurants, international fast food chains, cafes, nightclubs, and small shops selling fabric and crafts line both sides. After dusk, roadside stalls serve kebabs, fried plantains, and red-red. Many mid-range hotels and guesthouses are nearby, making this a convenient base. The area is crowded and busy at night, so taking a taxi is safer. Keep an eye on your phone and wallet.
