Tourism

Regeneration Initiatives

The Council is committed to improving Westminster for residents, business users and visitors alike. Working in Partnership with other organisations helps the Council achieve this, and maintain the world class city status that people have come to expect.

Cross River Partnership:

Central London is an area of extreme contrasts. On the one hand it is a world-class centre for business, technology, sports arts and leisure. On the other, it contains some of the most deprived communities in the UK north and south of the river. The Cross River Partnership (CRP)  works to deliver projects that spread the benefits of tourism to bridge the social and physical divide between these extremes, creating conditions for economic development and job creation on both sides of the River. Working with members including Visit London and the local authorities, it is also uncovering the rich vein of culturally diverse tourism which runs through the city.  The Partnership's projects include the 21st Century Golden Jubilee Bridges which link the West End to the South Bank.

London South Central:

The London South Central (LSC)  area lies on the south side of the river Thames from Battersea Power Station to Tower Bridge, and includes the areas of Vauxhall, Waterloo, London Bridge and Elephant and Castle. It provides visitors with unrivalled choices of things to see and do, hosting many of London’s most famous attractions including:

• the London Eye 
• Tate Modern  and
• Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre 

The LSC website  contains information relating to the significant investment opportunities which exist there, as well as local shopping, attractions, and accommodation links.
