About the Business Improvement District
Following a successful ballot and its positive outcome to establish a Business Improvement District in Victoria, the Victoria BID provides a platform for businesses to work together to improve and enhance the urban context of Victoria. Guided by businesses and organisations based within the SW1 area, the Victoria BID team are helping shape Victoria’s future development. We have established a programme of initiatives, services and events that are being delivered during the first 5-year term of the BID. These are further complemented by new and ongoing proposals for regeneration of the area that will help reposition and strengthen Victoria’s offer as a central business district over the next decade.
As the collective voice of local businesses, both large and small and across all sectors, we are now underway with a range of activities. Drawing on Victoria’s diverse cultural mix, delivering services and opportunities to businesses and organisations, making it a better place to work and play. Thereby establishing the SW1 area a destination for visitors to London. Ruth Duston Chief Executive of the BID explains more about its activities, click on the arrow centered in the window below.
