LONDON - London’s “Square Mile” financial district said it will close some streets to cars to create more space for pedestrians and cyclists so that workers can observe social distancing when the coronavirus lockdown is lifted.
The financial district is home to the Bank of England, the London Stock Exchange and Lloyd’s of London insurance market, and many of its pavements are too narrow for the 522,000 people who work there to maintain safe social distancing, a report for City of London councillors said. “Any meaningful return to the workplace will need to be primarily by walking, cycling and public transport.”
