"This year’s Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and London Olympics provide a fantastic opportunity to promote Victoria as a key destination. I will work tirelessly to win support for the BID’s vision for SW1 and ensure that the area is rightfully recognised for its major contribution towards the capital’s prosperity.” Tom Foulkes, Chairman
