Heart of London Business Alliance is excited to share a first of its kind quarterly Economic and Real Estate Insights Report which provides an in-depth look at the performance of real estate in the Heart of London area.  

It includes: 

• Economic performance of the HOLBA area, benchmarked against the wider central London area.
