Why don’t we just pedestrianise the surrounding streets (Bond St, Regent st, Carnaby etc) and leave oxford street to suffer the slow painful death that it deserves?
Not even joking, it would be much easier and much better in my opinion.
> Some of the council’s other concerns include:
> improving cycling
This hasn’t been a concern for Westminster until now?
I have not read the article, but every time I read about Oxford Street I remember The Mound. Who needs to pedestrianize it? /s

Councillors salivating at the chance for a decade of stakeholder consulting.
We should pedestrianise more of Soho at the very least, there’s no reason most of the cars going down those tiny narrow roads need to be there during the day, if ever
this is the kind of street that will get pedestrianised, and a week later a flurry of cyclists will see it as a free superhighway.
They need to ensure this doesn’t happen.
