Oxford Street 'diagonals'

Work to re-structure the pedestrian crossings at Oxford Circus to include a diagonal option starts this week as part of the Oxford Regent Bond Street (ORB) Action Plan.

There goes another parking lot

I guess this is the end of whatever little parking was available for commercial street. I think it was one of the largest street parking in the CBD. Knowing how the area is served by public transport forget about visiting commercial street.
