Formed in 2012, London Legacy Development Corporation is a regeneration agency and local planning authority. Its purpose is to use the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the London 2012 Games and the creation of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to develop a dynamic new heart for east London, creating opportunities for local people and driving innovation and growth in London and the UK.

Since 2012, the Park has become a must-visit destination for east London; attracting six million visits a year, world class sport and entertainment events, thousands of new homes and jobs across the wider area and two new business districts. 

In the coming years, LLDC will continue to support the delivery of new homes and jobs – both on the Park and in the wider Mayoral Development Corporation area –while delivering major new projects like East Bank, a world-leading cultural and education district, and SHIFT, the UK’s first inclusive innovation district.

As well as being responsible for over 30 million journeys every day, Transport for London (TfL) also one of London’s largest landowners. It owns a 5,700 acre estate that includes land and properties, which are creating the homes and jobs that the capital needs. The landholdings play a vital role in meeting the Mayor’s priorities to build affordable homes, while generating revenue to re-invest in improving transport network. TfL has recently set up a new standalone commercial property company which will be delivering 20,000 homes (half of which will be affordable) over the next ten years as well as a portfolio of new commercial offices, starting with 600,000 sq. ft across Bank, Paddington and Southwark. The new vehicle will also unlock much greater investment in TfL’s existing commercial estate, which includes over 1,000 retail units in and around stations, as well as over 850 arches across London.
