London's West End to be pedestrianised for outdoor summer dining

Key Take Away

Westminster Council published a detailed document listing the measures they're planning on taking to help businesses reopen - particularly those in the hospitality industry - while also adhering to current government guidelines on social distancing.

Streets being closed or widened include:

  • Soho and Covent Garden - temp street closures throughout

  • Oxford Circus - temp closure of James Street and Market Place

St James - street widening of Panton St, Jermyn St and Haymarket

In the meantime, the Soho Steet Festival campaign has welcomed the move - but thinks a little more needs to be done. You can read about that here:
