London’s famous Oxford Street has become vehicle‑free after decades of opposition. The change turned the world’s most renowned shopping boulevard into a pedestrian‑only area. Osman, who works in a souvenir shop near Oxford Circus, said he thinks people will miss the double‑deck buses that used to run there. He noted that the street still feels lively despite the lack of cars. Some shoppers appreciate the quieter atmosphere, while others miss the bustle that traffic brought.
