Oxford street has entered a new chapter🚶
The section between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street is now closed to all traffic, including buses, cars, taxis, cycles, pedicabs and scooters. This the first step in transforming the street into a greener, more accessible and welcoming destination.

Let’s put aside the Japanese woman used in this advert - hilarious choice of offender
Who’s going to enforce this? Staff won’t do it for fear of being assaulted! Just like staff aren’t allowed to apprehend fare evaders. Pathetic toothless govt.

Yep…. As suspected. Yet another crappy luggage and general houseware store is coming to #WoolwichHighStreet. Same as the one opposite and many others. So many questions inc how can they afford the rent?!

Walked past the store the other day, I have a horrible suspicion that the old WHSmiths will be (yet another) crappy luggage and general houseware store. What are the landlords (#BritishLand) doing!? Wasters.

The flock have voted and we’ve decided Mummy Pho is the hidden gem of Woolwich - if anyone wants to go in and buy us some dumplings feel free - sensational food #woolwich
Saw this guy push his way through the accessible gate at #Woolwich station this morning. Clearly does this nearly every day. Zero f*cks given. And why should he? With virtually no checks or consequences by @TfL@BTP, these brazen fare evaders have nothing to fear
Is it buy one get one free travel today @TfL? Saw a couple at the gates at #Woolwich EL station, she tapped in and he walked in after her (without tapping). The staff member just looked at them gormless but fully aware. Is this normal practice?
