The Mayor’s Speech – investing in the UK has never been better!

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, delivered his speech at the India Business Reception.

The Indian business community has continued to choose London for locating it’s businesses and looking at the financial year to date, 14 Indian companies were either setting up business in London or expanding business in London and it’s not hard to understand why.

London is the financial capital of the world and with London office space increasing (demands increasing too though so be quick!) it’s a great time to be investing in the UK. London has more Wi-Fi coverage than any other capital city, more bookstores than New York and more museums than Paris. As If that were not incentive enough to undergo business relocation to London, you can even purchase a Big Mac on the streets of London cheaper than anywhere else!

With less than 990 days until the 2012 Olympic Games now is the time to invest in London. Plus £9.3 billion is going to be used to drive change and revolutionise parts of London to bring everything up to date. The Olympics has driven change around London making it a greener, more environmentally friendly and safer place to set up business.

The Mayor finished a great night, highlighting the success of Cobra Beer who had great advances from its base in Fulham and Pataks Indian sauces from Kentish Town, just two of the many successful London business stories.

As if all of the above wasn’t enough, it rains more in Rome than in London according to the Mayor so surely that’s sold you?!
