On the day that a section of Oxford Street closes completely to traffic, a pedestrian crossing is out of use, on 26th October 2026, in London, England. With two years in the planning and consultations, one kilometre of the capital's main retail area has become a traffic-free road after London Mayor Sadiq Khan, working with Tansport for London (TFL), has created almost a kilometre of London's Oxford Street into a pedestrian-only. This remains highly controversial as local businesses say that deliveries will be difficult with traffic displaced to other minor nearby streets. This first phase of the major overhaul is expected to be finished by spring 2027. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)
