The tower's design has faced criticism for its visual impact, but Foster + Partners maintains that the twisting form will provide optimal natural light and views.

Oxford Street's Pedestrian Revolution

Westminster's proposals follow similar initiatives in other European cities, such as Madrid's transformation of Gran Vía and Copenhagen's car-free Strøget. Reduction in traffic and increased public space are expected outcomes.

Businesses along the UK's busiest shopping street have welcomed the plans, hopeful that it will attract more visitors and boost post-pandemic recovery.
