Sir Sadiq Khan announced a plan to pedestrianise Oxford Circus based on strong support from a nine-week consultation, where two-thirds of respondents favored the initiative. The proposals aim to transform almost a mile of Oxford Street, with extensions beyond initial boundaries and potential completion by 2027. Selfridges and other major retail businesses expressed their support for the plan, intending to foster outdoor events and improve the shopping experience, although there will be restrictions on cycling during busy hours. This development will be implemented through a new Mayoral Development Corporation.
The overwhelming support from two-thirds of consultation respondents has led to a plan to pedestrianise Oxford Circus, with detailed proposals to be published later this year.
This major initiative aims to revitalize Oxford Street by encouraging outdoor events and al-fresco dining, as well as enhancing the area's appeal for both residents and visitors.
The pedestrianisation plan, while benefitting the shopping experience, will prohibit cyclists during peak hours and work to minimize bus, taxi, and delivery traffic.
Selfridges and other major retailers have expressed their support for the pedestrianisation, which aims to transform Oxford Street, one of the world’s busiest shopping destinations.
