Oxford Street will be entirely closed to cars, cabs, and buses from noon to 8pm on September 21 to host a car-free event showcasing pedestrianisation benefits. The day-long 'This Is Oxford Street' will feature street food, coffee pop-ups, international sporting showcases, live music, a Choose Love charity zone, and a wellness village hosted by Holland and Barrett. Public consultation responses indicated nearly 70% support for specific proposals and two-thirds backing pedestrianisation generally. The temporary closure aims to demonstrate how removing vehicles can create a vibrant, accessible, cleaner high street attractive to residents, visitors, and businesses.
'I'm excited to announce our landmark "This is Oxford Street" event which will take place in September and offer Londoners, visitors, and businesses a glimpse of what the nation's high street could look like in the future. 'This is a fantastic opportunity to see Oxford Street in a whole new light, traffic-free, full of music, great food, pop-ups and entertainment for everyone.
From noon until 8pm on September 21, Oxford Street will be empty of all cars, cabs and buses. But that's not all. The road will host 'This Is Oxford Street', a free event showing off the best of what it has to offer. With all that extra space to walk around, there'll be street food stalls, coffee pop-ups, showcases from international sporting partners like Major League Baseball, live music performances, a Choose Love charity zone and a wellness village hosted by Holland and Barrett.
