Local London trailed its new Vision for the sub-region at the London Real Estate Forum event on 17 September to key investors and developers.
In partnership with Centre for London, Local London is developing a Vision highlighting opportunities in the nine boroughs to the east of the capital as a great place to live, work, learn, invest and set up a business.
The Vision will reflect wider policy strategies for London and the UK, and complement the recently launched Opportunity London Prospectus which includes a large share of real estate and infrastructure opportunities on or coming to market in our boroughs.
Built around four key missions, the Vision will set the direction for an ambitious programme that boosts productivity and skills, unlocks our infrastructure potential and drives investment into our diverse and dynamic economy.

Mayor Fiaz OBE, Chair of London London’s Growth Board and Mayor of Newham, said:
“I have always said, London is East. With unmatched land for development, a young and diverse workforce, Local London can become the engine for inclusive growth for the capital and country.
This autumn we will publish our refreshed Vision, reflecting our sub-region’s shared aspirations for unlocking our potential. Working together and with our public and private sector partners, we will transform Local London into a place that is ready to grow responsibly, celebrates its diversity, rich heritage and vast green spaces, where everyone can live well, succeed, and thrive.”
Cllr Morgon, Chair of Local London’s Skills and Employment Board and Leader of LB Havering, commented:
“At the heart of our Vision and all this opportunity, are our people. They shape our sub-region’s character. This is a place where everyone can flourish.
Over the next five years, Local London will have an inclusive and joined up skills and employment offer for residents and businesses that is future-facing, driving productivity and prosperity, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to succeed into good work and raise their living standards, in a changing economy.”
Antonia Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, Centre for London, said:
“We are delighted to have been involved in developing a Vision for this exciting sub-region. Local London is an unbeatable area of opportunity across the northeast and southeast of the capital, offering significant growth potential for businesses, developers and investors.”
