London Mayor Sadiq Khan has overseen the start of a traffic-free transformation of part of Oxford Street after decades of proposals to pedestrianise the famous shopping destination. In a social media post, Khan hailed the change as the start of 'a new era for Oxford Street,' expressing excitement about his vision coming to life and encouraging Londoners and visitors to explore the newly traffic-free area.
The change follows decades of proposals and political debate over the future of Oxford Street. The move has not been without controversy, with some residents and local representatives warning about its potential impact on surrounding roads and bus services.
