Everyone hates Oxford Street. Will pedestrianisation save it?
London's Oxford Street, once the UK's premier shopping destination, has become notorious for congestion, low-quality retail and crime, prompting a debate over plans to pedestrianise the thoroughfare. Mayor Sadiq Khan has pushed proposals to ban traffic from the street, arguing it could revive the area as a world-class destination, while critics question whether removing cars alone can fix deeper problems of decline and antisocial behaviour.
Why now: Ongoing debate in London over plans to pedestrianise the declining shopping street has renewed attention on whether the plan can work.
