I remember walking down Oxford Street as a kid and the pollution from all the vehicles stuck in traffic there was choking. I know they've worked on pollution measures since but I'm sure people still avoid it because of that.
Yeah, it's not exactly a fun walk even now. I normally go through Soho if I'm in the area even if it takes longer.
