Part of London's Oxford Street will be pedestrianised from 26 October — and this is what it could look like by late 2027 🌳 Architecture practice East shared this image on social media and described the opportunity to work on the scheme as a "dream project" for its landscape and urban design division. Almost a kilometre of the road will close to through traffic between Orchard Street, just west of Selfridges, and Great Portland Street, including Oxford Circus. The first changes will operate as a live trial, allowing the city to monitor how the street works and gather feedback before the permanent redesign is installed towards the end of 2027. Oxford Street stretches roughly twice the length of this first phase, and the Oxford Street Development Corporation says it is exploring further changes beyond the initial traffic-free section. The latest designs shared by East will be a relief to those who have long expressed concern around the original renders which featured coloured surfaces. The images often accompanied news coverage of the proposals as they progressed over the years. The idea has been discussed in various forms since the 1960s. The first phase of the transformation will remove cars, buses, taxis, private hire vehicles, bicycles, scooters and pedicabs from the street, with emergency and servicing access retained. Traffic will still cross Oxford Street at several north-south junctions, while affected bus routes will be diverted or terminate nearby. New stops are being installed around 100-200 metres from the street. 📷 East
