You are right, though there are places (Emily Thornberry mentioned Emirates stadium) where bollards create a large pedestrian only space, the Mall and Buckingham palace on weekends too have protection for large crowds at weekends.
If, as you say, to create these spaces to minimise this type of attack also have other consequences such as eliminating pollution and general road danger, then that is good too

It's a good idea anyway - as we know - but let's do it for the right reasons - protecting pedestrians and cyclists from motorised vehicles, reducing pollution etc.
After all these things kill far, far more people than attacks by deluded 'militants'.
Also (as I think you know really) you aren't going to do this without public support and practically I don't think you'd get that if you tried to introduce it on the back of these attacks - it would look like giving in.
I don't think anyone wants us to change our way of life as a result of these twats.
