Oxford Street Latest
The Ballon d'Or Ceremony has been delayed by 30 minutes due to the London traffic
The ceremony is taking place at the London Palladium off Oxford Circus
Today was the first day of @MayorofLondon Oxford Street pedestrianisation

Cyclists are continuing to ride along the newly pedestrianised section of Oxford Street, despite being asked to dismount.
Around seven security staff have been stationed near Oxford Circus, calling out to cyclists to get off their bikes, with mixed success.

The pedestrianisation of Oxford Street starts tomorrow.
✍️ My piece in The Spectator.
For those inclined to make negative comments, I strongly suggest reading the piece FIRST.

2 Arab ladies with 4 heavy @IKEAUK bags grateful for a taxi and help with those bags. Good luck on Oxford Street with that in 72 hours @MayorofLondon @CityWestminster 🤯

Oxford Street - your bus journey is about to take 8 mins longer after pedestrianisation according to TfL. Let’s see what it is in reality!

TfL's own study for Oxford Street expects more noise and worse air on some nearby streets, with "no practical and effective measure" to fix it on Margaret Street and Upper Brook Street. Residents deserve a full environmental assessment. onlondon.co.uk/oxford-street…

There is a major VIP event at the British Museum tonight. PHV will not be allowed to stop or pick up customers in the immediate area, so we are asking for the support of London Taxis.
Taxi Marshals in attendance 22:00-02:00 and
and will keep you updated via telegram.

This is important. London TravelWatch, London's statutory transport wacthdog, has called for a pause on rolling out further floating bus stops by TfL & boroughs "until there is clear evidence of significantly improved Highway Code compliance by cyclists"

Yet another day where traffic on High Holborn Westbound is backed up beyond Grays Inn Road due to 10 meters of segregated cycle lane. Bravo @willnorman @CamdenCouncil on another success for all Londoners 🙄
Think every fucker apart from the ref see that wasn't a penalty but let's not get away from a negative set up and dog shit performance from the Portuguese Uncle Albert 🤯

Please note the Duke Street taxi rank (lower part) has now been extended by the number of spaces we lose at the front of Selfridges when Oxford Street closes to traffic in a few weeks and is fully marked out.
The 2 space taxi rank on Duke Street (below the cinema) remains in situ and operates as a separate rank. The extended rank does not act as a feeder for it.
Now the Duke Street rank has been extended please do not over rank on the Selfridges front rank.
A new rank on the south east side of Orchard Street by the Selfridges Food Hall is due to go in and we are waiting for a date for this to be marked out.
The working rank outside M&S Marble on Oxford Street remains as does the rank facing north at the side of M&S on the west side of Orchard Street.
Both are working ranks which will be needed when Oxford Street closes to traffic from Orchard Street to Great Portland Street, please do not use them for parking.
