The London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) welcomes the opportunity to respond to the proposals for the pedestrianisation and transformation of Oxford Street. In principle, we reaffirm our support for pedestrianisation in recognition of the opportunity it presents for the regeneration of one of London’s most iconic retail destinations.

Each month LCCI host an informal networking group for members from the Property and Construction sector. The aim of the group is centred on building new contacts and partnerships, enhancing the supply chain of its members, sharing expertise, and developing business opportunities.
