Why you should Invest in Downtown London

Dynamic, modern, and growing, London’s downtown is the choice of new destination businesses, growing boutiques and restaurants, emerging artists and community activators who are looking for out-of-the-box customers, streetscapes, and spaces.

 

Our visitors and residents are curious, creative, and loyal – to favourite personalities and destinations that don’t just offer things, but culture, flavours, and moments.

 

Highly walkable, bikeable, and on every major transit route, London’s original neighbourhood has had more than $100,000,000 in public investment and more than $229,000,000 in residential investment in the last two decades alone, with more than 1,240 new residents projected in the next two years.
