London First represents more than 175 of London’s leading employers, who work with us to make sure London remains globally competitive and a great place to live, work and do business.
Our members care about London and its future as a vibrant global city and greatly value access to our network, our unique insights on the capital, and the opportunity to get involved in our work alongside peers, stakeholders and potential clients.
For London to bounce back as a renewed, 21st Century city, it must draw people in. From Londoners, to Europeans, to visitors from across the globe, people must be reminded of why the city is a beacon: it must be evident that it is the best place in the world to do business. It will not be exactly the same as it was before the pandemic, but that is also an opportunity. London must come back as the world’s greatest business hub, roaring with growth, with the central activity zone alive and kicking: an economic powerhouse supporting recovery across the UK. Our members join us in pursuing this vision.

- Advocacy: Working with us to help achieve changes to public policy and back the on-going efforts to tackle some of London’s key challenges in areas such as an effective recovery, skills and employment, the built environment, infrastructure and transport, data and technology, ensuring a competitive future for London’s business community.
