Lambeth Sets a Clear Direction for Its Night Time Economy

Lambeth Council has launched its first Night Time Economy Strategy at Electric Brixton, outlining practical steps to strengthen the borough’s offer after dark. These include new night hubs in busy town centres, an expanded network of 36 safe havens, improved rideshare pickup zones, and support for gig economy workers and grassroots cultural venues. 

The launch brought together partners from across London, including the Night Time Industries Association, the GLA and London’s Nightlife Taskforce, who all underlined shared priorities around safety, inclusion and local economic resilience. 

Lambeth’s approach aligns with several themes central to our work here at CRP, particularly around strengthening local centres, supporting cultural identity and taking a partnership led approach to improving places for residents, businesses and visitors. 

This strategy sets a clear direction for Lambeth’s evening- and night time offer and provides a positive example of how boroughs can shape welcoming and resilient places across London. 

We have supported partners across London on a range of place based, economic and community resilience projects, and welcome conversations with local authorities or BIDs looking to address similar challenges in their own centres.
