Creative Industry Hubs form an integral part of the LDA's Creative London initiative, launched in April 2004. Creative London aims to support the success of London 's creative sector internationally, and to develop growth and competitiveness in London. For details of the programme visit www.creativelondon.org.uk.

It is intended that the hubs will offer a range of support service and facilities particularly targeted at smaller and newer companies and at cultural entrepreneurs in the BME business community.

Ten hubs are planned across London . Four of these have locations within the Thames Gateway London area. We will continue to work in partnership with colleagues from the creative hubs in the City Fringe and in Greenwich/Deptford.

This web page is designed to offer information on the development of the Creative London Hubs in East and South London and will bring you regular information on the broader Creative London programme.
