The London Report 2021

London:
Primed for growth

2021 has begun with multiple vaccine successes and a broad-based rollout programme in the UK. The Brexit transition period has passed, and with forecasts for a rapid mid-year economic rebound, London’s resilience is set to shine through.

As we look to the year ahead and beyond, our research explains why London is uniquely placed to adapt, reinvent, and thrive in the coming global recovery. It offers our perspectives on the evolution of the workplace in light of the pandemic, and how landlords should respond to changing corporate requirements. It provides a forensic analysis of the development pipeline and the rental implications of a structural shortage of office space. And it draws upon both our deep global network and innovative research techniques to detail the future sources of global capital destined for London.

London’s lasting legacy will be a greater sense of responsibility and the embrace of common causes: from the pursuit of sustainability, to the reimagining of cities that better reflect their stakeholders’ needs, to more flexibility over working patterns and a higher regard for workplace wellbeing. With this insight, we aim to help you navigate these themes and demonstrate why London is a world-leading city in which to live, work, operate, and invest.
