The last bus down Oxford Street before it went traffic-free

Shoppers have filled Oxford Street on its first traffic-free day, marking a significant shift in urban accessibility. Lord Sadiq Khan stated that these changes represent the initial phase of a broader strategy designed to lift Oxford Street out of its current decline. This transition was highlighted by the departure of the final bus from the street before the new traffic-free regulations were implemented, signalling a new era for one of London's most famous shopping destinations.
