They'll never compete against online shopping prices or convenience. Making it harder to traverse isn't going to fix that. But it will make it a nicer day out for tourists.

i have never understood this, online shopping is hilariously much more expensive and inconvenient than just popping down to the shops
also removing cars almost always makes it easier to get around, not sure why you'd think it would make things harder?

On what planet?
Yeah generally for clothes, booze and a quite a lot of stuff online works out cheaper. For buying some basics vs supermarkets or a Savers etc, it can be pricier until you start buying multiples.
Good idea, keep businesses out of the area
Famously every business on Oxford Street is drive-through only
