Rewrite the night: the future of London's night time economy

• 11,000 pubs, bars, restaurants and nightclubs employ more than 200,000 people and contribute around £5 bn to London’s economy each year
• analysis by London First anticipates that an extra £2bn a year could be added to the NTE as the city’s 24-hour economy matures
• Night Tube services could create more than 2,000 new jobs and generate a further £77m per year for London’s economy by 2029
• the number of night time workers in London has increased with 109,140 new night-time jobs created between 2004 and 2016

• the Mayor should research what proportion of night workers receive the London Living Wage and set out steps to ensure night time economy employers pay the London Living Wage
• the Night Time Commission should bring the industry together to encourage a gold standard in venue management
• the Mayor should require boroughs to consider the need for dedicated space to showcase the work of artists and musicians in Supplementary Planning Guidance
• the Mayor should work with boroughs to develop good practice guidance on supporting and consulting local residents in developing the night time economy
• the Mayor should support museums and galleries, particularly in outer London, to extend their opening hours and to ensure events are well promoted across the capital
