While London & Partners is not a public body, we recognise the importance of being accountable for how we spend public money.
Our transparency arrangements ensure we provide full and relevant information about value for money, and enable us to run as a commercial arms-length organisation.
Following a public consultation in early 2019, we have developed a new transparency policy which sets out additional measures to demonstrate how we spend public funds and make decisions.
