Sadiq Khan plans to pedestrianise Oxford Street to improve accessibility and visitor experience, driven by overwhelming support from the public and major businesses like IKEA and Selfridges. A recent consultation indicated that two-thirds of over 6,600 respondents favor the initiative. Khan, reaffirming the decision, highlighted significant business backing, aiming to establish a more welcoming environment for shoppers and tourists. This move aims to resolve navigation issues due to pedestrian congestion and traffic while aligning with earlier attempts to limit vehicle access, despite past opposition from Westminster City Council.
