You're standing on Carnaby Street, a narrow shopping street in the heart of Soho, just a stone's throw from Oxford Street and Regent Street. No need to dodge traffic here during the day. The street has been pedestrianised since 1973, and the number of people walking in jumped by about thirty percent straight away.
