The high street won’t come back to life on retail alone — it’s the pubs, clubs and late-night spots that keep towns beating after dark.

If “Pride in Place” is about real renewal, nightlife has to be at the table. Because without culture, there’s no community.

Business rates cliff edges have punished ambition for too long. The Chancellor finally acknowledging this broken system is a win—but real reform is what will unlock jobs, investment, and thriving high streets. It's time to back ambition.

Tube strikes aren’t just an inconvenience — they’re a major blow to London’s nightlife. Every cancelled journey means empty tables and missed shifts. London’s recovery is fragile. We need solutions, not more setbacks.

No dancefloor, no future. What happens when the music stops?

Nearly 800 venues gone since 2020—whole streets turned into “night-time deserts.” This isn’t just nightlife. It’s our culture, our community, our heartbeat—and it’s slipping away.
