Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 28/09/2026The countdown is on for a traffic-free Oxford Street. Monday 26 October marks a new chapter for the nation’s high street as it becomes pedestrianised. 23693130
Paul @birminghamkav.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Hi Sadiq from Birmingham. Removing cars from any space is a great move. Here in Brum we pedestrianised New Street and others and no-one would want to go back. Imagine Carnaby Street with cars, madness. 0481
Amanda - aesthete @briesias.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It’s going to be so interesting, crossing the road was a nightmare as you went from shop to shop. Hope the high quality shops are still there. 020
lukewarm24.bsky.social @lukewarm24.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Another master plan!! London is so much better now!! Thank you Khan!! After many failed mayors (read LiarJohnson as prime example) we now have a brilliant one!! 062
ajfrost1998.bsky.social @ajfrost1998.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Part of the appeal of visiting the rich Monopoly board parts of London is seeing Rolls-Royces, Bentleys and Mercedes S-Classes driving down the street. As long as it's not those awful rich Arabs though... 000
Andrew Rait @andrewrait.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This is fabulous! Much looking forward to enjoying it next time I'm in town! 000
JustHere4Coffee @justhere4coffee.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I'm all for it, but it does mean I'm unlikely to ever return. Trying to find disabled parking around there's a pain as it is without having to find the right back road to bring you anywhere close to your destination. 230
Rory Koehler @rorykoehler.bsky.social · 29/09/2026About time. Couldn’t believe it wasn’t pedestrianised when I first visited 20 years ago. Felt like going back in time, even back then 010
ghostoftomjoad78.bsky.social @ghostoftomjoad78.bsky.social · 28/09/2026One of the worst places in London (other than Leicester Square and the awful tourist trap by the former county hall). Pedestrianising can only improve things. 091
Bartvdpoel @bartvdpoel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Great news. Finally. Always thought it was strange that a street like that allowed for so much car traffic. Looking forward to see it again on my next visit. Keep looking at what Hidalgo did in Paris. 1161
Tech Broligarch @techbroligarch.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Do put a bike lane down the middle though. It's annoying when bikes weave through the crowd and annoying to have to weave through when biking. Don't make the mistake that Glasgow did with Sauchiehall steet. 081
Nisha Kelley @nishakelley.bsky.social · 29/09/2026finally going car-free after years of talk is genuinely a dream!! wonder how it actually feels to walk down there without dodging buses 001
David S. F. Portree @dsfpspacefl1ght.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Here in Flagstaff Arizona USA, we're trying to make the same thing happen on Aspen Street, so this inspires! 1271
Mr Blogberry @mr-blogberry.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Still no coherent plan for cycles though. I think it's 5000 a day along there currently? Where are they all going? 181
