London’s growth agency, which is also home to London’s convention bureau, London & Partners are set to make ‘some reductions to activity’, following changes to the agency’s funding.
This change has come in the second year of a new three year strategy which was launched by London & Partners in Autumn 2025, which was designed to deliver long-term impact for the capital.
It also follows the news last week, that Visit Britain’s business events team has been cut from nine members, to just two, following a 41% reduction in the national tourism agency’s budget last year.
A statement issued by London & Partners on the issue said: “In Autumn 2025, London & Partners launched a new three-year strategy to deliver greater long-term impact for London, and we have made strong progress over the past year.”
“As we enter the second year of the strategy, while we have seen increased income in some areas, changes to our funding and delivery requirements mean we need to make savings across London & Partners, including some reductions to activity and changes to team structures and roles. Our priority in making these savings will be to prioritise the areas most important to London’s long-term growth, our partners and future sustainability. We are also continuing to invest in technology transformation to improve efficiency and impact over the medium term.”
London&Partners is primarily funded by the Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority.
The news comes despite London being named top Cvent European city for meetings and events for the fourth year, last month.
