Over the past fifteen years, South Bank Employers' Group has worked to transform a bleak and hostile place into a placee which is a desirable destination for business, pleasure and cultural pursuits.

South Bank Employers’ Group is an association of the major organisations in South Bank, Waterloo and Blackfriars dedicated to achieving the best possible experience for employees, residents and visitors to its area, which extends from Lambeth Bridge to Blackfriars Bridge and south to St George’s Circus.  The Group is a non-profit company limited by guarantee, governed by a Board appointed by its members.

Our principal areas of activity focus on improving the public realm, marketing the area as a visitor destination, developing local skills and access to jobs as well as projects which support the community. Our objectives for the year are detailed in our Business Plan.

The Group’s priorities for the area are:

• Economic growth, new developments and new jobs;
• A safe, clean and accessible environment for all;
• An efficient transport interchange and improved gateway to London;
• Increased opportunities for culture, sport, recreation and shopping;
• Improved schools and training, especially to benefit local people without work;
• Recognition of the South Bank by statutory authorities as a unique area within central London;
• Working together to secure the coordinated delivery of improvements to the area.

These priorities reinforce the aims of the South Bank Partnership’s Manifesto for Action to which the Group is fully signed up, alongside the local MPs, Kate Hoey and Simon Hughes, elected members from Lambeth and Southwark, representatives from Mayoral agencies and other organisations which make up the Partnership.To find out more, click here.
