Pedestrianizing Trafalgar Square

Hadn't been aware of the project being under way, but Trafalgar Square has now been rather dramatically reborn -- theGuardian notes:

On a Sunday it is now possible to walk from Victoria to the north end of Covent Garden (via Trafalgar Square) while only crossing two narrow roads

The northern roadway between the square and the National Gallery is now entirely closed to vehicular traffic; the BBC has a small picture of the grand staircase that now occupies that space. Another picture of the revamped square appears here.
