"I am delighted to be moving forward with my bold vision to transform Oxford Street into a world-leading urban space for shopping, leisure and outdoor events. Following TfL's detailed consultation, I've today made the decision to move ahead with these exciting changes to the nation's high street."
"We will work closely with Westminster Council in the coming months to implement changes to the roads around Oxford Street, and the mayor will provide more information on the next steps for this transformational scheme next week."
London's Mayor Sadiq Khan has granted final official approval for the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street, instructing Transport for London to remove traffic from the section between Great Portland Street and Orchard Street. The decision follows a second consultation on local traffic diversions that received 2,700 responses, with most respondents supporting the plans. The mayor describes this as a bold vision to transform Oxford Street into a world-leading urban space for shopping, leisure, and outdoor events. Transport for London will work closely with Westminster Council to implement the road changes in the coming months, with further details on implementation timing to be released shortly.
