‘Snapping’ is the dangerous teen craze plaguing the newly pedestrianised Oxford Street

Oxford Street has been pedestrianised, but a dangerous teen craze known as ‘snapping’ is now plaguing the area, with teenagers on bikes tearing through crowds. Meanwhile, another major London high street is set to be permanently pedestrianised, following the model implemented at Oxford Street. These developments highlight a shift in urban planning across the capital, while simultaneously introducing new safety challenges as cyclists navigate through the newly created pedestrian zones in these busy shopping districts.
