OPINION - Oxford Street is so bad now: we should fix it — and ban dangerous pedicabs to start

I’m not being funny but… do you remember when Oxford Street was one of the greatest in the world? That wasn’t even too long ago. Walking down it these days, you’re either blinded by the atrocious candy shops on every corner or being too cautious about getting run over by a tuk-tuk. With Topshop at Oxford Circus no more and the House of Fraser store shutting in 2021, a lot rests on Selfridges and John Lewis to maintain the standard of the iconic shopping district. I’m curious about how so many of those candy shops are even allowed to operate.
