Car Free Day
Take part in London’s first car free day. With over 8,000 hectares of land devoted to parking alone, we think there is a great opportunity to shift land use away from private cars to other uses. Our goal is to see the expansion of pedestrianised and pedestrian-priority zones across London and other global cities, starting with the Square Mile and the 200 town centres identified in the London Plan.
