Pedestrianised areas + more (and faster) trains to central London and key stations
London needs to have smarter transport and neighborhoods need to be more friendly to pedestrians. We need to be able to mostly walk or cycle in our towns, but get quickly and conveniently to other parts of London (central or not). Currently it is very difficult to go from Crystal Palace to Greenwhich for instance, despite both regions being relatively close to each other. Pedestrianised areas could revitalise our high streets, improve air quality and give us better sense of belonging, while better rail transport across the city would make sure we leave our cars mostly at home and participate on what different areas have to offer (they don't need to be the same, or have a bit of everything).

"Pedestrianised area" has become a catch-all word for "car-free areas" and should obviously be adequatedly designed for everyone's safety and convenience, pedestrians or cyclists.
