Lambeth Business Improvement Districts (BIDs)

Business-owned and business-led, Business Improvement Districts focus on improving the trading environment for businesses. They do this through improved promotion, safer streets, strengthening resilience and initiatives and incentives to improve business-to-business opportunities. Funded by a levy on local businesses, they give businesses a powerful role in the development of their area.

There are seven BIDs in Lambeth, which are listed below. You can also view a map of all business improvement districts in the borough and across London.
