London consistently ranks as a top destination for global commercial real estate investment—and for good reason. But beyond the market stats and iconic skyline, it’s the people who keep London relevant. People build the businesses, create the jobs, and drive the growth that powers our economy.
To stay ahead, we need to attract top global talent. And they’re looking for more than just office space—they want environments that reflect their values, align with their company’s mission, and offer vibrant, liveable ecosystems.
Telling this story in a way that resonates with investors is critical. That’s where Opportunity London comes in. They’ve set an ambitious goal: unlock the next £100bn of investment for the capital. Their focus? Matching the right partners to the right projects in the right places.
Led by Jace Tyrell, the team brings deep market insight—understanding what drives or deters investment and which investor types are targeting which sectors. Their data-driven approach answers key questions: Where’s the capital coming from? Which sectors are hot? And most importantly—Where’s the next wave of investment coming from?
From the City’s perspective, infrastructure is one of our strongest draws. With 16 stations, 50+ bus routes, and countless cycle paths, the City core hums with energy. The Elizabeth line—now the UK’s busiest rail line—has turned Liverpool Street Station into the country’s top railway station, moving over 100 million people a year.
Since 2019, employment in the Square Mile is up 25%, with tech leading the charge. The UK now ranks third globally for the scale of data centres, and thanks to strong rule of law and deep capital pools, we’re primed for high-growth sectors like AI and cybersecurity.
Of course, with new sectors come new challenges—from utilities and resource demands to talent access and global competitiveness. Tackling these at a national level is key to keeping London’s edge.
Opportunity London’s core partners include HM Government, the Mayor of London, London Councils, and the City of London Corporation—bringing serious credibility to the table. Policymakers who are committed to the national growth agenda and can see the bigger picture.
As an Ambassador, I’ve seen first-hand how London Boroughs and the City are aligning around a unified investment strategy. The projects being brought forward are world-class—diverse, future-focused, and investor-ready.
And the momentum is real. We’re already seeing new players step in—pension funds, sovereign wealth, family offices—all eager to back London’s next wave of growth.
