Tourism

Tourism is a key driver in central London’s economy with the Cross River area home to some of the capital’s most important attractions and venues. Cross River Partnership’s Tourism Programme was funded through SRB6 and ran from 2001 to 2006. It was very successful at dispersing visitors away from the main tourist areas to more localised areas and at providing partners and businesses with support and information. Cross River Partnership’s legacy tourism projects delivering these results are:

• Arts and culture workplace co-ordinators
