伦敦著名购物地标牛津街约1公里长的核心路段正式实施车辆禁行政策，禁止私家车、公交车及自行车通行。1 此次禁行范围涵盖从牛津广场至大理石拱门的区域。1 尽管市长萨迪克·汗在John Lewis百货发表演讲时将这一举措定义为“历史性的一天”（momentous day），并强调这是以人为本的城市投资理念的体现，但实际反响呈现出明显的分歧。1
支持者认为步行环境得到了改善，受访者Daniel Te指出，禁行后街道提供了更多行走空间，带来了更优的购物体验。1 然而，反对声音同样存在，出租车司机Ben McMullan批评称，政策导致周边街道交通拥堵加剧，且使得无障碍访问变得更为困难。1 针对公众对公共交通可靠性的担忧，伦敦交通局首席运营官Claire Mann表示，公交改道后的运力充足，预计不会造成显著的可靠性影响。1
目前的禁行措施只是阶段性行动，后续将启动更大规模的街道改造工程。1 该项目预算为1.5亿英镑，计划增加树木、座椅和广场等设施，工程预计于2027年春季正式开始。1
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has declared the recent pedestrianisation of Oxford Street a “momentous day” for the capital, following the official closure of a roughly one-kilometre stretch to all vehicular traffic. 1 Speaking at John Lewis, Khan framed the initiative as a historic step toward human-centric urban investment aimed at enhancing the shopping experience. 1 The banned zone, extending from Oxford Circus to Marble Arch, now prohibits private cars, buses, and bicycles, marking a significant shift in how the city’s most famous shopping thoroughfare is accessed. 1
While many visitors and experts have welcomed the change, noting that the absence of vehicles provides more walking space and a more pleasant environment, opinions remain divided among transport users. 1 Daniel Te, among other respondents, praised the improved pedestrian experience, yet taxi driver Ben McMullan raised concerns about worsening congestion on surrounding streets and difficulties with accessibility. 1 Transport for London’s Chief Operating Officer, Claire Mann, sought to reassure the public that bus services diverted from the area would maintain sufficient capacity without significantly impacting reliability. 1 Looking ahead, a broader transformation of the street involving new trees, seating, and plazas is scheduled to begin in spring 2027, supported by a £150m budget. 1
