In 2024, under the new Labour government headed by Sir Keir Starmer, Sir Sadiq Khan has been granted the authority to oversee Oxford Street's transformation. Khan aims to convert this high-profile shopping street into a pedestrian-only zone to enhance its appeal and mitigate congestion for residents and visitors alike. Public feedback is being invited as part of this initiative. Khan emphasizes the significance of unlocking Oxford Street's potential to foster economic growth and business support, stating that previous attempts at pedestrianisation have laid the groundwork for these current proposals, which are backed by the government.
Oxford Street has been known as the nation's high street but the area has suffered in recent years. My proposals are designed to unlock the true potential of Oxford Street and deliver a world-class, accessible, clean avenue.
These proposals would help to restore this famous part of the capital and support good businesses, while creating new jobs and boosting growth.
