"The Mayor is keen for this to happen as quickly as possible and we're expecting proposals on re-routing the buses and removing the traffic from the street later this year, ahead of changes being implemented by 2027. But before that, we're getting a little taster of what a traffic-free Oxford Street would be like as the street will be empty of all cars, buses and cabs from noon to 8pm on Sun 21st September."
"It will offer Londoners, visitors, and businesses a glimpse of what the nation's high street could look like in the future. This is a fantastic opportunity to see Oxford Street in a whole new light: traffic-free, filled with 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. Add the date to your diary. It's going to be a fantastic day out as we reimagine the West End."
Oxford Street will be pedestrianised with traffic removed and bus routes re-routed, with changes targeted for implementation by 2027. A traffic-free preview will run from noon to 8pm on Sunday 21 September on Oxford Street. The free This Is Oxford Street event will feature food and drink stalls, bar and coffee pop-ups, live music and performances, sporting showcases including Major League Baseball, a Holland & Barrett wellness village, and a Choose Love charity zone. The Mayor of London aims to create a world-class, accessible, clean avenue and is accelerating proposals following strong public support. More information is available at london.gov.uk.
