Work, live, play – how can we unlock Central London’s recovery? 

The pandemic has had a significant impact on the capital with greatly reduced footfall and a drop off in visitors to the centre. 

Getting Londoners back to offices and enjoying the renowned cultural scene — along with luring UK visitors and ultimately international tourists back into the capital – will be a cornerstone of a UK-wide recovery, with the capital generating 24% of the UK’s GVA.

We’re bringing together those in the vanguard of London hospitality, tourism, retail and placemaking along with local and national government to reimagine a sustainable post-pandemic way to work, live and play in the city: 

• Work: With a hybrid and more flexible approach to office working here to stay, what does this means for footfall and how must London’s transport network respond?
• Live: How is the cultural sector viewing recovery, and what challenges and opportunities will this sector have as it builds back from the pandemic?
• Play: London’s tourism offer is firm favourite with international visitors, but what are the timescales for getting tourists from near and afar back to our capital? How soon can the sector bounce back and drive economic recovery?

The event will also bring in insights from local and national government. Leave this very timely conference inspired and equipped with a pan-London view on how our capital city can recover from the pandemic, reembracing all that makes it special. 

Places are free of charge for all delegates joining the virtual sessions.
