Traffic Free or just Car Free?

“completely closed to vehicles (including cars, buses, taxis, bikes, scooters, and pedicabs). Service and delivery vehicles will be the only exception” according to the article.

Here you go:

If all goes to plan, the section of Oxford Street that spans from the western end of Selfridges to just past IKEA will be completely closed to vehicles (including cars, buses, taxis, bikes, scooters, and pedicabs).

This bumps London several places in my list of cities that I may want to visit someday. Literally my main reason for wanting to visit paris now is cuz they’ve done so much in getting rid of cars.

You should definitely visit London. It’s very walkable, and there are so very many things to see and do. Live theater, pubs, museums, historical buildings, public sculpture, beautiful parks — the list goes on and on. I had a wonderful time and hope to go back again soon.
