We were thrilled to celebrate the successful completion of an inspiring and imaginative event hosted in collaboration with Perkins&Will to celebrate LFA 2025. Held at the iconic 150 Holborn, the morning was filled with creativity, laughter, and limitless ideas as a group of local school children from St Albans CE primary school took part in a unique series of design workshops. The day began with a tour of the building, offering pupils a chance to see London from a brand-new perspective. The panoramic views from the rooftop garden provided the perfect setting to learn about the importance of biodiversity and sustainability, concepts that would later influence their creative...
In May 2025, the BID hosted it’s first ‘Coffee with a Copper’ session at Colonna & Smalls on Leather Lane. The event offered a valuable opportunity for local businesses to engage directly with the SNT in an open and informal setting. Over the course of the afternoon, a wide range of local business owners and staff took the time to stop by, share concerns, and exchange information on emerging trends and challenges affecting the area. Business representatives were able to raise specific issues impacting their operations, while officers shared advice and updates on recent initiatives and crime prevention strategies. This exchange of local intelligence was...
In response to feedback from local businesses, the BID recently collaborated with our neighbouring BID, Central District Alliance, and Islington Council to act against street fundraisers at Farringdon station. Together, we have worked to monitor activity in the area and advocated for greater enforcement to ensure public spaces remain welcoming and safe. This joint approach has already yielded positive engagement and strengthened communication with all involved. We are committed to working closely with Islington Council and we are currently looking at further plans for strategic interventions to reduce nuisance behaviour in the area.

The BID is also taking the necessary steps to have installed along Greville Street additional hanging baskets to enhance the vibrancy of a major...
As part of its ongoing commitment to improving the public realm, the BID recently commissioned CC Infrastructure Services to carry out further street furniture enhancements across the area. The focus of this latest project was the refurbishment of all Pay & Display signs along Hatton Garden, which were decluttered and repainted using anti-stick paint to prevent flyposting. This treatment not only improves the appearance of the street but also helps maintain a cleaner, more professional environment. Additionally, the two post boxes outside 7 Hatton Garden received a much-needed refresh, further contributing to the tidy and welcoming look of the area. These works form part of the...
