New West End Company represents both property and occupier businesses in the West End, making it the UK’s largest retail & leisure-led BID.
We represent 82 streets and over 600 businesses across London’s West End.
What is a BID?
A Business Improvement District (BID) is a geographical area in which the local businesses have voted to invest together to improve their local trading environment.
BIDs provide additional or improved services, identified by the local businesses, to enhance the performance of businesses in the district. This could include extra marketing, safety, cleaning or environmental measures.
BIDs are business-led organisations. They are funded by a mandatory levy, added to the business rate, on all eligible businesses after a successful ballot.
Which streets do we represent?
With the renewal in 2021, we also extended our BID area to cover 82 streets in the West End. To view the list of streets click here.
