The Evening Standard reported that Mayor Sadiq Khan was among the shoppers in the Oxford Street area. Khan told the Evening Standard: “It’s quite clear speaking to shopkeepers, businesses and those in retail, they’ve had a horrendous nine months, they’re keen to make sure this golden month and this golden quarter they can make up some of the ground lost."
