We held our second Brexit Briefing at Arup on 29 Sept, with an expert panel led by LSE Professor Tony Travers assessing the outlook for London's built-environment sector. Speakers warned against complacency and stressed the need to lobby for London's needs. A summary is on our website, alongside a list of relevant articles from elsewhere.

Our Build to Rent programme continued with a visit to the Vantage Point scheme at Archway, LB Islington, an office-to-residential conversion of the 17-storey Archway Tower.
