London

London is one of the most culturally rich cities on the planet, with world-class institutions and globally renowned talent. Culture is London’s DNA – it binds us together.

Our city’s creative economy employs one in six Londoners and contributes £52 billion to the economy. Our culture and creative industries are vital to our city’s success and Londoners’ wellbeing. Yet too many Londoners are still missing out on the opportunity to access culture and the huge benefits it can bring.

Culture for all Londoners is the Mayor of London’s landmark strategy for culture. At the heart of the strategy’s vision is a city that sustains its global creative success, and which works for everyone. Every Londoner should feel that the capital’s artistic riches and diverse heritage belong to them.

Culture for all Londoners has four priority themes:

 .             Love London – more people experiencing and creating culture on their doorstep

 .             Culture and Good Growth – supporting, saving and sustaining cultural places and spaces

 .             Creative Londoners – investing in a diverse creative workforce for the future.

 .             World City – a global creative powerhouse today and in the future.

ACCESS will support Culture for all Londoners by providing valuable information, insights and an action plan on how to ensure culture enriches and empowers all Londoners equally. It will help identify innovative ways to address and remove barriers for people who do not traditionally engage with culture. This will help Londoners to build relationships, participate in society and avoid social isolation.
