Published: 9/21/2025

London Mayor trials one-day car-free Oxford Street to "rescue" popular shopping area. Sir Sadiq Khan aims to ban vehicles from a 0.7-mile stretch, sparking concerns over accessibility and congestion. Pedestrians support the trial, suggesting a permanent ban for increased safety and leisure opportunities. Plans for Oxford Street's pedestrianisation will be consulted on later this year, impacting businesses and residents.
