LDA - Investing in London

In recent years the London Development agency's (LDA) investments have helped over 166,000 businesses, created more than 100,000 jobs, and developed the skills of 170,000 individuals.  

We've secured over £1.3 billion in private investment which has enabled us to regenerate key parts of the city and create healthy sustainable communities.

The LDA played a key role in winning the 2012 Games for London. Now we are making the Games deliver for London.

We have also secured a number of benefits for London and Londoners. Our work in Wembley, Woolwich, the South Bank, and our provision of affordable childcare places are just a few examples. All of these have delivered long-lasting and real impact.

Challenges

The big challenges moving forward are:

• Tackling London's low employment rate.
• Reducing poverty and disadvantage.
• Delivering on the Olympic Legacy.
• Supporting Crossrail.
• Responding to the challenges of climate change.
• Delivering the housing investment that London needs.
• Marketing and promoting the city globally.
• Securing the right conditions for London's business growth.

This is where we are investing the majority of our funding.

The LDA will continue to invest in London, to create opportunities and build on the scope of our innovative and practical projects so that London will thrive for generations to come.

With the support of our stakeholders and delivery partners we will sustain this success and provide benefits to all Londoners.
