21 May 2026

Watch our film celebrating the City of London’s role as a driver of UK economic growth and its continued evolution as a global business destination. Generating around £109 billion in annual economic output and supporting one in every 48 workers nationally, it highlights the City’s importance to the nation’s economy and the need to continue to deliver high-quality, sustainable workplaces that attract talent and investment.

It also showcases the City’s ability to reinvent itself – bringing together heritage, modern architecture and a growing cultural offer to create a dynamic, competitive environment in line with the City Corporation’s Destination City growth strategy. Featuring major projects such as the London Museum at Smithfield, Liverpool Street Station redevelopment and the Barbican Renewal Programme, the film highlights how culture, heritage and development are working together to support growth and maintain the City’s global appeal.

The video features Chris Hayward (Policy Chairman, City of London Corporation), Ushma Samani (Real Estate Development Manager, Platform4), Sharon Ament (Director, London Museum) and Ross Sayers (Head of Development Management, Landsec & CPA Immediate Past Chair).
