London Development Agency

About Us

Home to an increasing population, a thriving centre of commerce, a rich cultural mix, an enviable arts scene and a memorable landscape that encompasses a fusion of fascinating history and innovative design, London is an international focal point and a place that others look to for inspiration.    It is vital that London's growth is managed and developed in a sustainable, appropriate way and by helping develop London's infrastructure with schemes that meet the challenges of climate change and use the highest standards of design we can make sure London and its people continue to prosper.

In the LDA we are guided by the Mayor's London Plan, which maps out an infrastructure for future development, supporting the delivery of a strong supply of commercial property and affordable housing, and promoting a healthy, sustainable, high-quality urban environment. And now with a central role in ensuring that the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games deliver a vibrant and lasting legacy for London the opportunities and challenges for the LDA are immense.

We look for people that have the drive and enthusiasm to make a difference to London, our jobs are at all levels and include:

• Development/regeneration roles
• Project roles
• Planning roles
• Engineers with climate change experience
• Urban Designers
• Chartered Surveyors
