The Mayor of London has highlighted the growing impact of proposals to make Oxford Street car-free, noting that the plan is already creating positive momentum in the heart of the West End. According to the Mayor, the strategy is attracting new businesses that are eager to move into the area.
These companies, the Mayor explained, recognize the full potential of the capital’s most iconic high street, particularly in terms of improved urban livability, reduced traffic and pollution, and enhanced public spaces.
The long-discussed pedestrianisation of Oxford Street is being presented as a key driver for economic renewal and increased attractiveness, strengthening its role as a global destination for shopping, tourism, and city life in London.
