They are often doing filming and other events, so maybe they are happy with it informally but want to be able to close the route whenever they like

The lifts at Paddington are particularly bad because they serve 3 levels: longer to arrive, longer to exchange passengers and they get clogged when people get on in the wrong direction. St Pancras Thameslink lift is awful for the same reason

The difference is cars. European tourist destinations have beautiful pedestrianised squares with bars and cafes. British towns are mostly choked with cars - moving and parked
