Heart of London gets Tokyo-style makeover

LONDON — Oxford Circus , the heart of London's West End shopping and entertainment district, got a Tokyo-style makeover Monday with a new "scramble crossing" layout. London Mayor Boris Johnson launched the new scheme, aimed at cutting crowd congestion and the lengthy traipse round the interchange. People are now able to walk diagonally across to their destination in a pedestrian free-for-all.
