I can't say I like Angela Rayner's decision to approve the demolition of the Art Deco M&S building on Oxford Street. I don't buy the idea M&S couldn't recondition the building. Pleased with the decision, M&S they say they can now "get on with the job of helping to rejuvenate the UK's premier shopping street through a flagship M&S store and office space, which will support 2,000 jobs and act as a global standard-bearer for sustainability".
That's not going to revitalise Oxford Street. Who cares about a flagship store? You either want to go to Marks & Spencer or you don't.
Would two or three theatres along Oxford Street transform it?
There's enough dead space for exciting new builds as well as boutique studio theatres. Immersive theatre experiences could work alongside one of two big shows finding a permanent home. Willy Wonka's chocolate factory experience etc.
