You can keep that car centric culture stiffled by continuing to slow cars down, reduce parking, and study what could make the alternatives more effective. If london is already built at a human scale, the worst option is bulldozing it to car scale.
Pedestrian zones/streets is a good option. It makes no sense to have a road where only very few cars can pass every hour due to congestion anyway. Everyone is better off without those roads.
Even in a non-particular-fuckcars way, it would make sense to turn entire roads into pedestrian zones with just the ends functioning as short time parking or cargo load zones, so nobody is fooled into believing that they can actually drive a car through.
