Traffic Free Shopping Day London

Traffic Free Shopping Day London

When

6th December 2008

Where

Oxford Street and Regent Street

Whats On
On Saturday 6th December 2008 the West End will be transformed into a huge car-free pedestrian shopping extravaganza in the Traffic Free Shopping Day London event. For only the third time in London's history the whole of Oxford Street and Regent Street will be closed to traffic for a day of entertainment, shopping and festivities. After considerable success in the previous two years traffic free shopping returns again this year.

Very Important Pedestrians
Entitled VIP (Very Important Pedestrians), the Traffic Free Shopping Day London event promises to be a day of hassle free shopping for Londoners. There will be lots of entertainment on show including a range of VIP treats, celebrity appearances and the very best live music.

Live entertainment
The Traffic Free Shopping Day will feature live street entertainment, with a selection of performers taking to the streets in festive style. Expect a vibrant, upbeat day of shopping in one of London's most popular shopping districts.

The freedom to shop
We all know how busy the West End can get in the Christmas shopping season and it’s a bit of an understatement to say that the pavements can get crowded during peak shopping hours. In the Traffic Free Shopping Day London event the entire West End shopping district will be exclusively for pedestrians, with no road traffic at all on the day.

Christmas shopping
Londoners can go on the hunt for stocking fillers at the Traffic Free Shopping Day London event and gear up for Christmas 2008 in style. With no cars, buses or taxis to worry about you can go from shop to shop in ease and worry about the serious business of gift hunting.

Mastercard Offers
At last years event there was even an incentive to spend thanks to Mastercard. If shoppers spent over £200.00 on their Mastercard during the day they were rewarded with their very own Christmas present, so look out for more special offers this year!

The Wildcats at Disney Store
The 2007 Traffic Free Shopping Day also had a high octane pep rally as the High School Musical tour bus rode along Oxford Street with a vibrant party involving dance routines, tracks from the films and Wildcats Basketball skills. There were five performances at Vere Street, just off Oxford Street and near the Disney Store. There was also loads more fun inside the Disney Store, including karaoke, goodie bags and more.

The Traffic Free Shopping Day London event takes place on Saturday 6th December 2008. Oxford Street and Regent Street will be closed to traffic throughout the day.
