Reported byDezeen ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Almost a kilometre of Oxford Street in central London—the stretch between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street—was permanently closed to vehicle traffic yesterday, with the first pedestrianised section now undergoing a transition period to add seating, planters and signage.
Full transformation expected to complete by 2028.
