This is the final report of Centre for London’s independent expert-led Commission on the future of London’s industrial land. The Industrial Land Commission was established to explore how London can make the best use of limited available land to meet the varied needs of the city. Between March and October 2021, the Commission met four times to look at the role of industrial spaces in London’s economy, how these spaces might change in the future, and the supply of / demand for industrial land in London. In September 2021, it published an interim paper setting out its initial conclusions and seeking feedback from the public that would inform this report’s recommendations.

While this report reflects the views of the Commission as a whole it should be not be assumed that all Commissioners agree with every word or recommendation.
