It’s too long of a stretch to expect people to just walk it - might need at least to have a bus/ cycle lane

The cars, buses and taxi’s are all part of the experience of Oxford street.

Ridiculous idea. So I, with mobility issues, will not be able to, as now, get a bus direct to my favourite stores. Thank you Mr Mayor. In any case, Oxford Street is quintessentially London and the red buses and black cabs are an important part of the scene.

Won’t work. So all of the companies who do shop fit outs and usually park outside the building they’re working in won’t be able to park outisde anymore, which means it will take longer to do the work in the store, which means the shops will have to spend more time and money to get these shop displays up which means they will need to shut the stores for longer which means they will need to put the prices up of the merchandise that they’re selling to make up for the extra time they’re losing out on

The whole charms of Oxford street is at night with people driving their cars, buses transporting people etc, Oxford street will lose its charm esp at night

Personally I don't drive in Central London, but I'm still waiting for an answer to where the traffic is going to go. They're not sitting in a London traffic jam for fun and will need alternative routes.

What about tradesmen? When things need repairing ? The 15 minute zones have already made it impossible for people to get work done! RIP Oxford street
