Oxford street was crowded with protesters today who demanded London's roads were 'made fit for humans once again.'
Hundreds gathered among crowds of Christmas shoppers to launch the protest aimed at making London's roads safer.
The 'Stop The Killing' Campaigners want to make roads safer for children by abolishing rat-runs, pedestrianise town centres - including Oxford Street, and bring 20mph speed limits to all urban roads.

Traffic was brought completely to a halt at Oxford Circus by the protesters as they headed towards Marble Arch for a 'die-in'.
