Cyclists will be banned from riding through the pedestrianised section of Oxford Street under Sadiq Khan’s plans to ban traffic from the thoroughfare.

The mayor announced on Tuesday that he had secured Government support to re-boot seven-year-old plans to make the “nation’s most famous high street” traffic-free, starting with the stretch between Oxford Circus and Selfridges.

He told the Standard that cyclists would be included the restrictions, which will also remove buses, cars, taxis and delivery vehicles and give priority to pedestrians.

Ross Lydall explains the new plans, and why the issue is so controversial.
