Our mission
London First's mission is to make London the best city in the world in which to do business. We aim to influence national and local government policies and investment decisions to support London's global competitiveness. A successful London is vital to the health of the UK economy.
Our influence is built upon the breadth, depth and calibre of our business membership, who collectively represent over a quarter of London's GDP. Our credibility comes from our informed, in-depth policy development, supported by proactive and creative campaigning, as well as from our record of achievement. We innovate, developing practical and timely solutions to London's strategic challenges. We also provide our members with an effective conduit for communication with government and a voice in the public arena.
