A nearly one-kilometer stretch of Oxford Street between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street was closed to cars, buses and bicycles, with vehicles diverted onto surrounding roads. The move marked the first step in a makeover of the storied shopping precinct, with plans to plant trees, install seating and add two new public squares. (AP Video by Kwiyeon Ha)
