Having reimagined itself as a vibrant centre of creativity, the City is increasingly attractive destination for global businesses and visitors alike. John Barradell OBE (Town Clerk and Chief Executive of the City of London Corporation) outlined the Corporation’s plans to expand the area’s global appeal as the place to “live, work and invest”. In 2018, the cultural and creative businesses grew four times faster in the City than anywhere else in London.

London’s Night Czar, Amy Lamé, informed members of her work representing the capital’s diverse and dynamic evening economy, referencing the opportunities for the property industry to help further support the development of London’s night time offering. The 24 hour vision is the first of its kind and has paved the way for London to be the leading city in the world for evening investment.
