Parliament Square to be pedestrianised
20th January 2008, 06:17
"Parliament Square is to be transformed from a congested traffic island into a paved pedestrian piazza aimed at celebrating the history of British democracy in time for the London 2012 Olympics. The new square is expected to become a major tourist attraction focused on the British constitution and is intended to attract more than 30 million people a year to soak up the pomp of the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, HM Treasury and, from 2009, the new Supreme Court, which look on to it."
