Oxford Street pedestrianised after years of failed attempts
Original: oxford street
London's Oxford Street has been pedestrianised following years of failed attempts to remove traffic from the famous shopping street. The BBC reports on how the long-debated transformation was finally carried out. The change marks a major shift for one of the UK's busiest retail destinations, which has long struggled with congestion, pollution and crowds, and it is drawing significant public attention in Britain.
Why now: The pedestrianisation of one of London's most famous streets is a major, long-awaited change to the city centre.
