The ALMR has welcomed the appointment of the new Night Czar and has reiterated its eagerness to work closely with City Hall to promote the capital’s late-night hospitality businesses.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has appointed Amy Lamé, former Mayor of Camden, as the inaugural Night Czar for the capital.
ALMR Chief Executive Kate Nicholls said: “The Mayor has spoken very positively about his vision for a 24-hour city and we are pleased to see him acknowledging the importance of the capital’s night-time economy.
“London is renowned as a world destination and it is important that its night-time economy is at the cutting edge, not just in terms of infrastructure, but also through a hospitality offering that promises the best for customers and a legislative environment that lets businesses thrive.
“Amy has previous experience working as the Mayor of Camden, an area of London renowned for its thriving hospitality sector and the success of its partnership schemes including the Camden BID. We are looking forward to working closely with the Mayor and our new Night Czar to promote London’s first class late-night hospitality offering and to push for a fair and flexible deal for the businesses that make it such an important part of the capital’s economy.
