"The central London street will be pedestrianised between Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus and transformed into a "festive winter wonderland" from 14:00 to 21:00 GMT on Saturday, 6 December. Instead of traffic, this stretch will become a "festive mile", occupied by pop-up food and drink stalls and roving entertainers, organisers said. Oxford Street went car-free for a day in September to demonstrate how the mayor of London's plans to ban traffic from a stretch of the road could work."
"As part of Regent Street's "day of festive fun", three vintage red double decker buses are due to be parked up offering bookable crafts, gift wrapping, a seasonal "selfie station" and a disco bus bringing live music from DJs and choirs. A number of local shopping deals will also be on offer throughout the day. Regent Street's famous Grade II listed architecture and curved facades is home to the original Hamleys toy shop plus well known branded stores including Apple, Armani, Polo and Burberry."
