Why doesn't London have any public seating along major tourist spots like Oxford Street?
Because it would be a disaster. It's a busy shopping street, no room for dilly dallying
My feet and legs and back were killing me and I could sit
anywhere because the only places with seats were restaurants that'd expect you to eat there if you're going to sit on their chairs! strawberry floating ridiculous.
Also, Londoners, why don't you ever use the buttons on pedestrian crossings?
The Tottenham Court Road end of Oxford Street has slightly narrower pavements, so it doesn't have space for benches. There is a bench on Tottenham Court Road though. On the Bond Street side of Oxford Street the pavements jut out a bit to accommodate seating for pedestrians. So the answer to why Oxford Street has no public seating is because you didn't look hard enough.
Not following the Green Cross Code is not a problem solely seen in London. However, if you saw this phenomenon during your grim death march through the West End it's entirely possible that a large proportion of the people flouting our traffic regulations were in fact tourists, so blaming Londoners for that is a bit unfair.
