Oxford Street seems like a bad idea to me - it would lose too much shopping
money, and although it's world famous (why?), it doesn't work as a
television backdrop.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

As a GP would require closing the circuit for at least 1-2 weekdays (for
setting up and testing etc), I cannot imagine a GP taking place in central
London. A GP cannot be compared with the London marathon due to the safety
barriers etc that are required for GPs.

I am sure that some of the obstacles (traffic islands etc) could not be
easily moved.

Does anyone know how long the roads are closed on other 'public road'
circuits.

How about the sewers, like the Italian Job?

Or embankment - tunnel - Canary Wharf.

I'm pretty sure they prepare the Monaco GP 'furniture' from March time. Over
2 weeks they have not only have the F1 race but vintages, F3000 and other
supporting races.

I am a Formula One fan living in London and I have contemplated this idea
many a time. I made this idea for a circuit years ago.

Pit straight is the green part along the mall. Cars run anti-clockwise.
