"Oxford Circus may get Tokyo look"

Oxford Circus is pretty much unavoidable in getting from between the offices I've been working at here in London this week.

The whole area is known for its shops and so attracts both tourists and Londoners on the hunt to make purchases. I ran into the blow announcement (originally seen in the Daily Telegraphy) literally a day after having to bypass the exact intersection pictured because the queue to cross the street would have taken 20 minutes. To put it lightly the upgrade (envisioned in the below image) is much needed and welcomed.

Shoppers in the West End could be able to cross Oxford Circus diagonally for the first time, under new plans.
