Shops selling designer trainers and luxury chocolates have been helped to open just off Oxford Street, as part of a drive to rid the area of "poor-quality" outlets such as American candy stores.

Westminster City Council said it hoped the shops would contribute to the diversification and rejuvenation of Oxford Street.

The move is part of the council's 'Meanwhile On: Oxford Street' project, to help restore the shopping area to "its former glory".
