London South Central is a strategically important zone on the south side of the river in central London.  It offers both significant opportunities in terms of new development and regeneration, while exhibiting high levels of deprivation.

In 2001, London Development Agency recommended that Cross River Partnership (CRP) should take a lead role in co-ordinating regeneration activity within London South Central (LSC). CRP established the LSC Forum - made up of regeneration agencies and Lambeth, Southwark and Westminster Councils plus the Corporation of London - to co-ordinate initiatives between stakeholders in the area.

The aims of the Forum are to:

• Maintain and monitor a common vision
• Champion, promote, and provide leadership in achieving this vision
• Create the sub-regional context for the delivery of other common regeneration agendas
• Ensure project and programme development is based on information sharing between members.

• Completion of a Mapping Exercise of all regeneration activity in the LSC area (2002)
• Ongoing input into the LSC City Growth Strategy
• Input into the LSC Single Pot programme, including the LDA / Arup Economy and Property Strategy
• Spatial development issues - eg co-ordination between the four LSC Opportunity Area Development Frameworks, and a co-ordination response to the draft London Plan 
• Ongoing input into development of and implementation2 of LSC Transport Strategy.
