There's lots of this stuff mentioned in CAMRA magazine. In the 1850s Oxford St used to have something like 38 pubs on it. Now just the one. Can you imagine Oxford Street with that many pubs on it? :)

The last remaining boozer on Oxford Street could close its doors as a public house after Westminster Council decided last month to permit a change of use.

Yeah, that was what they were talking about. There aren't any plans to close it yet but there's some weirdness going on with planning permission or something. They're organising some kind of fight I think.
