Pedestrian malls in dt london would be a bit like the chicken and egg. Hard to attract desirable tenants if a first rate conversion is not done (and maybe even if so). Hard to spend $$ on the assumption that if you build it, they will come. I've witnessed quite a few pedestrian mall disasters in Canadian cities, as well as successes.
