The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has today announced the expansion of his ground-breaking Creative Enterprise Zones as a new report reveals they have recovered faster from the pandemic and performed better than London’s wider creative economy, while helping reverse the trend of artists being priced out of areas.
Brent, Islington and Westminster are set to become the latest dedicated areas in the capital where artists and creatives are supported to put down roots at the heart of their communities through affordable workspaces and improved access to creative sector skills and employment. Sadiq also announced that nine projects across the zones will receive a share of £1.2m to make workplaces greener and more sustainable, benefiting more than 500 creative businesses.
