Default London\'s Makeover! A few changes being done..
I was browsing the BBC London site and found theses amazing new plans for london's west end!!

London's famous Oxford Circus will be getting a HUGE new feature!!!



a 30-ft light sculpture suspended over Oxford Circus!!



Bond Street will get these fresh new lights hovering above, and fresh new, modern black benches. The whole place will be getting a clean up!!



Titchfield Street will be getting new pavement and new light pillars that change colour, it will also get a general tidy up!



Oxford Street is currently in construction to make the pavement bigger, cleaner and better.


Sorry.. I just got really happy about this, i just wanted to share it with you lot.

What do you think of the changes?
If your from London do you think the changes are good?

Thank you for reading! DT. X

I will need to visit London at some point. I went to the Millenium Dome when I was 10 and I remember driving through London, I had no idea where we were so when we passed Big Ben I was like WTF!?!

I love living in London. It's such a beautiful city and there's always something to do.
I can't wait for London to get much better and for more people to see how brilliant it is.

Wow, lovely, fantastic, gorgeous etc.

Who's paying for it?

It'd better not be me again, I'm still living on beans on toast after paying for Wembley

Don't come here-its boring. There's not much to do and I really don't know why tourist stuff we have.


I don't know about London,it just seems to buzz. Theres always something to do and theres always something happening. The transport system is brilliant as well and the shops!

So they tell us to cut down on electricity then go and do that?

It should look good though, but I can't believe London doesn't already have pavement lighting in that area
