The corner of Oxford Street and Park Lane is seen empty on April 14, 2020 in London. In an announcement made on May 6, Khan revealed that, to keep Londoners moving, road space would be taken from motorists to provide more social distance room for walking and cycling. “Clean, green and sustainable travel to at the heart of London’s recovery,” said a press statement from City Hall. The trial cycleways—some of which could become permanent, says the statement—are necessary to “accommodate a possible ten-fold increase in cycling,” claims Khan. Space for cycling will also be created between Catford town center and Lewisham via the A21, and on the A23 between Oval and Streatham Hill.
