Connected London

The High Court decision on Tuesday 23 June to uphold consent for the Northern Runway Project at London Gatwick marks an important milestone for a project that will help meet growing demand and improve connectivity for our capital. International connectivity remains as critical as ever to London's ongoing competitiveness as a global city.

The expansion of capacity at Gatwick will now help strengthen links with key markets, support trade and tourism and create opportunities for businesses across London and the wider UK economy. We look forward to continuing to work with our Patron Member London Gatwick as well as other colleagues across the London business community as the project moves forward.

LCCI Patron Member and Connected London Programme Partner Bauer Media Outdoor has announced a new partnership with Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) to help save lives by raising awareness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), tackling inequalities in cardiac arrest survival, and expanding access to defibrillators nationwide.

That’s the question we explored with industry leaders, policymakers and practitioners at LCCI’s roundtable discussion hosted by Menzies LLP.

On the sunny terrace of No. 4 Hamilton Place, insight, connections, and conversations flowed at our Property and Construction Summer Reception, which welcomed over 100 senior professionals from the industry.

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.
