London

This. Roads used to be for people not cars

I’ll actively avoid it and take other routes. When I did removals in London, we’d go out of our way to avoid similar roads, they’re always extra hassle. It makes loads of sense to prioritise pedestrians

Whenever I have walked down there it's mostly buses and taxis with a few cars peppered in.

Been ages since I've walked along there but I remember far more people than cars and at times the street is completely empty.

It's been closed to cars for about 15 years
