Starting Monday, nearly a kilometre of Oxford Street, between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street, will be closed to cars, buses and bicycles. Traffic will be diverted to surrounding roads as part of plans to plant trees, install seating and create two public squares. The street still attracts around half a million visitors daily and is home to retailers including Selfridges, Zara and John Lewis. London Mayor Sadiq Khan said pedestrianising Oxford Street will help restore its status as one of the world’s leading shopping destinations.
