Southwark - The Place for Business

Southwark offers businesses bright and successful futures with excellent investment opportunities. 

Ideal business location

Small and medium enterprises (SME's) make up 96 per cent of businesses in Southwark. We also have high profile corporations including Lloyds TSB, the Financial Times, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Express Newspapers. The borough is home to the new Mayor of London and City Hall.

Investment for regeneration is estimated at £4bn across the borough including Elephant and Castle, Canada Water and Bermondsey Spa, leading the way forward with innovative architecture and quality urban design.

Tourism

Tate Modern, the Globe Theatre and Borough Market are just some of our creative hotspots and vibrant art scenes attracting tourism to the borough. Increased tourism and thriving businesses has led to more jobs for local people and firmly put Southwark on the map as a place to live, socialise and develop businesses.
