London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced that a nearly one-kilometer stretch of Oxford Street is now completely closed to vehicular traffic. The final vehicle traversed the iconic commercial corridor at approximately 8 p.m. on Sunday, bringing an end to decades of debate and implementing the pedestrianization initiative just ahead of the Christmas season.
According to the mayor, this traffic ban represents the initial phase of a broader revitalization project aimed at breathing new life into the historic shopping destination. Further updates regarding the ongoing redevelopment of the area are expected to emerge as the project progresses.
