news Mayor launches London Eats campaign to bring people back to capital
Barwell Business Park providing industry-leading workspace
The Mayor of London’s year-long Let’s Do London campaign to bring people back to the capital has turned the spotlight on the city’s diverse food and drink offering with the launch of London Eats. London Eats celebrates the very best culinary delights that central London has to offer. From cheap street food eats to fine dining, food markets to drinks festivals, exclusive interviews, food trails, surprise tannoy announcements on the tube and the unveiling of new restaurant and street food market openings, there is something for everyone. The mayor Sadiq Khan was joined by celebrity chefs and successful restaurateurs, Monica Galetti and Angela Hartnett MBE, at Geoff Leong’s Chinatown restaurant Dumplings’ Legend to launch the campaign. The capital is the engine of the UK’s economy, but its retail, hospitality, culture and nightlife have been impacted hugely by COVID-19. By getting out and supporting them, while following public health advice, the mayor said people could protect central London’s unique eco-system of shops, hospitality and world-leading cultural venues and boost the economy. Sadiq Khan said: “I’m proud to be launching London Eats as part of my Let’s Do London campaign – the biggest domestic tourism campaign the capital has ever seen.
Barwell Business Park is playing a key role in the borough’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic through collaboration with partners and providing industryleading workspace. The park’s management is part of the council-led Economic Recovery Task Force which includes Kingston First and Kingston University. Councillor John Sweeney, Kingston Council’s Portfolio Holder for Business and Leisure, said of the group: “A lot of work on economic recovery has already begun and the
different partners across the borough are already working closely and meeting regularly.” He added: “The quality and quantity of workspace across the borough needs to be improved. Some industrial areas, like Barwell, have invested in order to attract great businesses.” Flexible leases and flexible workspace - upgraded in a rolling refurbishment programme –makes the Barwell offer attractive. Barwell’s Task Force representative, Colin Lawrence-Waterhouse, Asset Manager, Aviva Investors, (park owner), said: “As Barwell Business Park is a key location in the recovery from COVID-19, we do not wish to sit in isolation but to actively support in any way we can.”
HIGH QUALITY WAREHOUSE/ INDUSTRIAL UNITS TO LET IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE
“The hospitality sector has been one of the hardest hit by the impact of the pandemic, with too many jobs lost and under threat. As the government continues with the roadmap and more businesses are able to open up, we are joining with famous chefs, foodies and hospitality venues to celebrate our city’s world-renowned industry. Together we will be sharing our favourite places to eat and drink in London and highlighting the huge range of exciting events and openings that will be taking place this summer.”
