Back To Business

Once a ‘gateway’ between the West End and the City, Midtown is now a vibrant commercial hub and a vital contributor to London’s economy and culture. As we return to business, the opportunity for growth is there, throughout our complementary corporate, hospitality and cultural strengths.

We’ve convened a panel of key agents of growth. Debbie Akehurst is the Chief Executive of Midtown BID, dedicated to keeping Midtown thriving, welcoming office workers & visitors alike. Michael Bonsor is Managing Director of Rosewood Hotels, adapting to thrive as the flagship of our hospitality offer. Finally, James Williams, Chief Executive of the Shaftesbury Theatre, is already busy shaping the future theatreland.
