Downtown London is the organization that represents both the London Downtown Business Association (LDBA) and MainStreet London Revitalization Organization (MainStreet London). Both non-profit organizations work towards one key goal — making Downtown London better.

Each organization has a unique mandate and purpose.

Working together, and in partnership with the City of London, we are able to offer the programs that help us accomplish our goals for community improvement in London’s Downtown.
