This is an important point but it's hardly that Central London is accessible to disabled people today.

Cities that get this right have good adaptations for disabled travellers - generally by permitting them as exceptional traffic (and not through traffic).

Plus, for example, door-to-door bike lanes are also good for powerchairs. You will see a lot more wheelchair users getting about anywhere in the Netherlands than you do anywhere in the UK.


Hence “most” not “all” backstreets.

For example in soho Frith street could be fully pedestrianised, while the neighbouring greek street only accessible to taxis


Maybe current residents with disabilities could be grandfathered in.
