This report from London First analyses the economic impact of construction activity within central London on the wider UK. It found that construction work in central London generates twice the economic benefits, and supports almost twice as many jobs outside London as it does in the capital. The study, carried out by PwC, measured the national and regional output and employment generated by Central London office developments through construction expenditure, supply chain impacts and employee spending. The study also examined the extent to which development expenditure is lost from the UK, and explored the wider qualitative impacts of London developments on the local community, the construction sector’s supply chain, and as a catalyst to economic regeneration.

The latest research from the Estates Gazette shows that with supply in core high end residential areas around Mayfair and Knightsbridge severely constrained, developers have pushed into more untested areas around Vauxhall Nine Elms in an effort to feed the uprecedented demand from international investors. It is argued that this could lead to a series of ‘dead zones’ in areas not far enough out to be affordable by owner occupier standards but not close enough to the centre to be considered prime.

This is the final report of the London Finance Commission. The Commission was established by the Mayor after his election in May 2012 to help improve the tax and public spending arrangements for London in order to promote jobs and growth. The report argues that funding arrangements in London should allow London government to make additional self-determined investments in its own infrastructure both to cater for the growth already forecast for its population and economy, and to promote additional economic growth.
