All vehicles will be banned from Oxford Street under radical plans to tackle air pollution.
The western section of the central London street, which is home to some of the largest department stores in the country, is due to be pedestrianised by the end of next year.
All east west traffic will be banned from the half-mile stretch from Selfridges to Oxford Circus with traffic likely to be removed from the remainder by the end of 2021.
The measures, which will cost £60 million will be implemented to coincide with the launch of Crossrail.
