Overview

• The “This is Oxford Street” event will close the street from Orchard Street to Oxford Circus on Sunday, September 21, from 12pm to 8pm.
• Transport for London will divert many bus routes from late on Saturday night, September 20, until early Monday morning to accommodate the closure.
• The day will feature themed zones covering style, play, flavour, sound, history, future and self-expression, with a wellness area by Holland & Barrett and a Choose Love installation.
• City Hall frames the event as a live test for proposed permanent pedestrianisation targeted around 2027, with detailed plans due to go to public consultation later this year.
• The mayor cites Oxford Street’s economic weight and post-pandemic challenges, notes prior consultation support of roughly two-thirds, and points to retailer and business group backing.
