London must extend its role as a connector – physically and digitally– within the city, as a gateway to the world and to the whole UK. From supporting sustainable expansion of London’s airports to campaigning for digital infrastructure and investment in rail — so badly needed to help our country succeed — we will identify future needs and make the case for immediate action.

Our work to date has focused on campaigning for increased infrastructure investment across the UK, including ensuring Crossrail gets back on track and that the case continues to be made for the critical importance of other schemes, such as Crossrail 2 ahead of next year’s spending review. 

See the 40-year history of Crossrail, how London business has kept it moving forwards.

Beyond Crossrail, we are leading the campaign for continued investment in the vital transport, utility and digital infrastructure required to keep London the best city in the world to live and do business. 

Michelle Dix, Managing Director Crossrail 2

London First played a central role in getting the go-ahead for Crossrail, not least through its work in developing a mixed funding package. We see London First as a key ally in mobilising London business and building consensus to repeat that feat for Crossrail 2, the next major transport infrastructure priority for the capital
