What does $200 million have to do with cars? Absolutely nothing if you were in London's famous West End shopping district on Saturday, December 1st, known as Shop West End VIP (Very Important Pedestrians).

That's because 600 retailers on Bond Street, Oxford Street and Regent Street were open only for pedestrians, billed as the world’s largest area ever to be dedicated to shopping for the day. Not surprisingly, many retailers reported the best sales day of the year.

All three of the West End of London's streets were closed to automotive traffic and given over to humanity. The New West End Company's Jace Tyrrell said, "Today's event shows us all what the West End will be like in 2013 with traffic removed and the streets turned over to the pedestrian."
