"This is a fantastic opportunity to see Oxford Street in a whole new light, traffic-free, full of music, great food, pop-ups and entertainment for everyone. As mayor, I'm determined to unlock Oxford Street's true potential and deliver a world-class, accessible, clean, avenue. So add the date to your diary, it's going to be a fantastic day out as we reimagine the West End for everyone. This Is Oxford Street vibrant, thriving and back on the map."
"The This is Oxford Street event will aim to showcase the street and the benefits of pedestrianisation something the mayor hopes to introduce on a permanent basis by 2027. One-day closures of Regent Street were trialled by Ken Livingstone in his time as mayor between 2000 and 2008. The street will go traffic-free from Orchard Street to Oxford Circus about half a mile between Selfridges and the junction with Regent Street - between midday and 8pm"
Oxford Street will be closed to traffic from Orchard Street to Oxford Circus on Sunday 21 September between midday and 8pm for a flagship pedestrian event. The event aims to showcase pedestrianisation benefits and support plans for permanent changes by 2027. Themed outdoor areas will span fashion, sport, music, food and heritage, with zones branded This is Style, This is Play, This is Flavour and This is Me. Holland & Barrett will curate a wellness zone and Choose Love will host a This is Love installation. Many bus routes will be diverted from 9pm on Saturday until early Monday morning.
