Oxford Street in London will begin its pedestrianisation process on October 26, banning all vehicles, including buses and taxis, from a one-kilometre section between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street. The initiative aims to enhance shopping experiences by creating additional public spaces and improving accessibility by spring 2027.

Most of Friday’s front pages lead with the new migrant agreement between France and the UK. The deal will see a “one in, one out” process. Many of the right-leaning papers pick up on French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments that Brexit was in part to blame for Britain’s spiralling illegal immigration crisis.

The papers feature images of Starmer and Macron, and images of yesterday’s illegal boat crossings.

A few papers find space to report on the BBC’s sacking of presenter Greg Wallace. The former Masterchef host faced allegations of sexual assault, bullying and inappropriate behaviour. He denies the allegations.
