"London’s 'Midtown' between the West End and the City will be transformed into the capital’s most vibrant cultural district under a masterplan unveiled today.

"Urban designer and architect Sir Terry Farrell said the vision will link Oxford Street in the west and Cheapside in the east to create a continuous shopping boulevard across central London.

"The plans would start with a makeover of the 'dysfunctional' Holborn and New Oxford Street artery, scrapping the one-way gyratories that have turned them into inner city motorways, introducing cycle routes, and giving pedestrians priority at increased numbers of crossing points."
