💨 Abstract

Oxford Street in London is set to become a pedestrian-only zone by the end of the summer, with a £150 million plan approved. The 0.7-mile stretch will be free of cars, taxis, buses, and bikes, aiming to restore the street's former glory. Mayor Sadiq Khan emphasized safety measures, including CCTV, safety bollards, and potential use of facial recognition cameras.
