Sadiq Khan is set to ban all cars from a major tourist area as "urgent action" impacts travel for millions . T he ban would see vehicles no longer able to travel between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street.

Labour Party London Mayor Mr Khan is pressing forward with ambitious plans to transform Oxford Street into a pedestrianised zone, following overwhelming public backing.
