Any district that aims to achieve sustainable development and Carbon Net Zero needs to have central co-ordination. The Fitzrovia Partnership does just that. Working in partnership with LB Camden and a large number of wider stakeholders and businesses, it co-ordinates and seeks to deliver sustainable solutions. 
Adam Harrison, Cabinet Member for a Sustainable Camden
The Fitzrovia Partnership is a Business Improvement District representing more than 250 businesses in Fitzrovia.
Through partnership and engagement we help to create and enhance an economically vibrant destination, offering tangible and collective benefits to business and those that work, live and visit Fitzrovia. Since our establishment in 2012 we have invested over £10m of BID levy directly into the area to support the themes and shared priorities of our members. Over that period we have matured in our influence and ability to affect positive change, delivering tangible results and return on investment.
Business Improvement Districts are not-for-profit partnerships where businesses in a defined area have voted to invest together to improve the environment of their local neighbourhood. A BID is established through a democratic ballot process. The services provided are additional to those delivered by the statutory authorities.
There are over 300 BIDs in the UK investing a total annual BID levy of over £110m. These BIDs leverage a further £175m when including funding raised from economic partnerships and commercial activity.
The BID embraces a number of representative sector groups – Retail, Leisure, Office, Hospitality, Community, Property – within its governance structure all of which contribute to The Partnership’s overall decision making.
Through partnership and engagement with the business community, we help to create and enhance an economically vibrant destination, offering tangible and collective benefits to those who work, live and visit Fitzrovia, whilst promoting a strong sense of local identity’.
The Fitzrovia Partnership works with community groups, residents and Local Authorities to deliver the key themes identified by our members and set out in our business plan.
The Fitzrovia Partnership provides the business community with a collective voice and the ability to influence and shape the future. It acts as a catalyst to attract public and private investment for projects that enhance the neighbourhood and helps to secure funding for the delivery of services which add value to Fitzrovia and its business community.
The Fitzrovia Partnership will place sustainability at the heart of the organisation and believes collaboration will become an esstential requirement to drive added-value solutions for business and the wider community.
Members with a rateable value of £160,000 or more in Fitzrovia are automatic voting members. The mandatory levy on all eligible businesses is calculated based on your Property’s Rateable Value and varies from year to year. The BID levy is collected by Camden Council.
