Lady Lucy French OBE, Chief Executive of the Fleet Street Quarter BID, said: “This part of London has been reinventing itself for 2000 years.
“This is a golden opportunity, a landmark moment. We are seeing the evolution of an area; an emerging, sustainable, inclusive hub for today and tomorrow. This is a remarkable renaissance; the reinvention and repositioning of the Fleet Street Quarter.”
Deputy Shravan Joshi, Planning and Transportation Chairman, City of London Corporation, added: “The Fleet Street Quarter is one of the few places left in London where you can really redevelop and reinvigorate a postcode. I would say it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity.”
