Speaking as someone who used to live round the corner (next to the Crown and Sceptre in Great Titchfield Street) I say about bloody time. Oxford Circus's profusion of barriers and prevention of diagonal crossing is a gigantic embuggerance to one and all and a nice example of horribly vehicle-centric street design, in which a vast horde of peds is held up for long periods for the convenience of the relatively small amount of traffic. (Check a driving map BTW - you'll note that Oxford Street is a minor road as far as motor vehicles are concerned).
