On a wider level, I do wonder if the level of societal change in the last sixty or seventy years means that the there’s a generation whose brains have locked back when cars and support for cars was seen as the sensible way forward and helped society grow.
The fact is we need to reverse out of that, but they can’t conceive of world with fewer cars.
I actually will start going there more often. I just hate the crowds but if there’s more space on the pavements there’d be fewer people
the big department stores are an impressive thing to stroll around. Definitely not at Christmas but if you can catch them when they are quiet it’s an interesting experience.
I will admit to visiting Oxford Street, but only for Selfridges and their denim section. I treat it like a tactical strike: zip straight to target, do my thing, GTFO
I honestly do think a pedestrian zone would make it much more user-friendly, but it will probably really mess up traffic in the surrounding area
Ok and?
Things a true Londoner says when they hit 25.
You’re right, Croydon Town centre had been pedestrianised for years but there’s shite all there except crackheads screaming at each other. “walking” isn’t the draw, it just makes a nice place nicer. They need to do more for the actual businesses.

It would be so much easier to loot this year.
People forget that traders need access to Dixons
I doubt anyone cares that 1 Redditor out of 3m weekly visitors won’t be going to Oxford Street…..
What annoys me about Oxford Street (And this happens *every single time* I go there), is that I pop into a shop at the Tottenham Court Road End, and the item isn’t in that shop, but they *do* have the item in a shop at the Marble Arch end and I have to power walk through a sea of slow moving tourists/shoppers to get there.
