Between 07:00 and 18:00 Monday-Friday, and 12:00-18:00 Saturday-Sunday, it costs £15 to drive into central London. Delivery vehicles and so on must also pay.
Restricting all vehicles except some/all during some part of the morning is often how pedestrian streets operate in Europe, but this is usually a much smaller area.
Note that this article is about NYC trying to add the exact same thing for Manhattan roughly south of Central Park (so incorporating the Midtown and Lower Manhattan CBDs, but not including Upper Manhattan).

A similar approach is to ban vehicles during certain hours.
Allow only delivery vans to operate between say 4am - 10am.
With rest of the time for cafes, bars, restaurants etc to open on the streets.
Didn't London do something like that?
