"One of London's finest shopping streets - Regent Street - hasn't been pedestrianised since the pandemic. But this Christmas that's about to change, because the road is going car free. For one day only, on December 6, customers will be able to do their Crimbo shopping without the risk of being hit by a double-decker, black cab or Lime bike."
"The road will be closed to traffic between Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus, with festivities starting at 2pm and continuing through to 9pm. Three vintage London buses will be parked along the 'Festive Mile', each offering a different Christmassy experience. One bus will be set up entirely for taking 'elevated' seasonal selfies, another will be the Choose Love Disco Bus, with live music from choirs and DJs keeping the party going, and then there's festive crafts bus, which will host wreath-making workshops and a free gift-wrapping service."
