This road has had vehicles of all kinds going down it for centuries, but now they're going to be completely banned.

So will it make shopping here any better?

Or are you put off anyway by things like phone snatchers, American candy stores, pickpockets, picky pockets,

and has it all come too late to save the high street?

Or is it actually about much, much more than just shopping?

Take a ride with us.

This actually feels quite historic.

This is the last ever bus journey to go all the way down Oxford Street.

From the 26th of October, it's the end of the road for cars, taxis, bikes, scooters, pedicabs and buses.

And you know, this road has had motor traffic on it for more than a century.

So this really is the end of an era.

You're all here specially for this journey, aren't you?

Yes, pretty much.

It's making me emotional because I feel like this part of London has shaped London buses.

I feel like this is the reason why a lot of tourists, you know, vacate to London.

Also, is it quite celebratory that you all made it on Jules Pass?

Yeah, it's an end of an era.

It's a bit of history.

Go in.

This is one of the world's busiest shopping streets.

Around half a million people, sorry, come here every single day.

And it really feels like it at times when you're battling through the crowd,

especially in the run -up to Christmas and it's not helped by the fact

that so much space is taken up by the road but that is about to come to an end.

So first things first, just to say it's not the whole of Oxford Street that's changing.

Let me show you.

So it's this bit here all the way here, nearly a kilometre.

There's a gap here for Regent Street traffic to get through

and then it ends here at the junction with Great Portland Street.

It's a bit from Selfridges to Ikea.

The whole project is set to cost 150 £50 million.

But it won't just be getting rid of the traffic, by spring next year it'll also have added things like these.

New seating, new green spaces, all in all much more space for you to shop in.

Hello there ladies, we're from BBC London.

Can we ask you about, so what do shoppers here think?

It's safer, a lot of road accidents happen.

And to be honest, who's really driving down here?

You got those little tuk -tuk things?

They'll be gone.

Wait, what?

As long as the alternative routes are up to scratch then I think, yeah, fine.

It's It's a little bit hectic with all the cars right now.

Is it going to make it better for you?

Definitely way better because I think it's so crowded.

Even though you'll have to say goodbye to the noisy pedicab.

They're not going to be around the corner.

You can get your music and your vibes from somewhere else.

Literally, we are the vibes.

We've also dug into some of the finer detail and found it's not quite as traffic free as you might have thought.

I asked one of the bosses making the change.

Traffic will be crossing through here.

How are you going to keep pedestrians safe?

One of the things we're going to have in place are security measures at those points.

We're going to have gates in place and they're going to be manned

so emergency vehicles can access the road anytime they want.

But here's the thing.

While all the extra space being planned might sound great, not everyone's happy about it.

Some Londoners reckon that removing traffic from here might actually make things harder, especially taxi drivers.

We're the iconic London cab.

Can't beat us.

Once they close it, I'm not sure that you're going to get value for money.

Now that it's happening, how do you feel?

I feel really apprehensive, to be honest with you.

I'm trying to have a little bit of positivity, but I'm struggling because I just think the impact is going to be so devastating.

The concern is that it's going to push some of the congestion to the smaller roads nearby?

The smaller roads that typically wouldn't have had the traffic will now be traffic 24 -7.

Ask yourself, are you going to sit in my cab in all

this traffic to get from A to B where you can see nothing is moving?

You'll say, I'm really sorry driver, we're not moving, I'm going to walk.

And another thing, what about Londoners with mobility issues who rely on buses and taxis to get around?

Well, there'll be taxi ranks 100 metres from the pedestrianised zone and new bus stops 200 metres from it.

We've heard from a taxi driver who's worried about these plans

and there are small businesses as well that are worried

that is just going to push congestion out onto smaller streets and worsen the noise and air quality there.

I mean, the first thing I would say is these are very valid concerns and we've been listening.

Our modelling suggests that's not going to happen,

but this is why it's important that what we're initially doing is part of a test and review phase.

So one thing worth mentioning is that Oxford Street is already largely closed to private vehicles.

So would a full vehicle ban really bring new life to this place?

Is the issue the traffic and the crowds or is it something else that's putting people off coming here?

Peaky Pockets!

Watch out your baggy!

She tried to steal your baggy!

When it happens there's little the victim can do.

This area is known as a phone snatching hotspot.

You've probably seen the videos of the thieves in action

and I know loads of friends who've had.. their phones stolen right out of their hands.

With that and the pickpockets and the vape shops and the American candy stores,

are shoppers just turning to other London locations instead?

Why have you chosen to shop here at Westfields rather than say going to Oxford Street?

It's less crowded, easier to walk around.

Oxford Street is just way too congested.

People are just opting for online at the minute and I think that's the biggest battle.

So yeah, a bigger question.

When was the last time you actually bought something from here or any other high street rather than from here?

As online shopping has grown, Oxford Street's lost big name stores like Debenhams,

House of Fraser and now HMV's closing its flagship branch here soon.

Will banning traffic really be enough to bring more shoppers out?

100

Well, here's the thing.

101

The idea is for you to want to spend more time as well as money in Oxford Street.

102

The eventual plan is for space for public events.

103

We've already had a sneak peek of this.

104

Last year, Oxford Street went traffic -free for one day only, with food stalls, pop -ups and live music.

105

It brought nearly 50 % more visitors than usual, according to those behind it.

106

Maybe then, the future of Oxford Street is more than just shopping.

107

So where does this leave us?

108

After over a century of motor traffic here, Oxford Street is about to look very different.

109

And once it does, could other parts of London follow in its footsteps?

110

There are already similar plans for the West End near Piccadilly Circus.

111

A lot of London's traffic -free future will be riding on how this historic change works out.

112

But getting rid of vehicles is one thing, but making it a place that you want to spend more time?

113

Well, that could be a bigger challenge.

114

And we'll have to wait and see if all the extra space is enough to make that happen.

115

Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
