The Eastern City Business Improvement District (BID) enhances London’s iconic areas like Aldgate, Bank, Monument, and Liverpool Street by improving public spaces, supporting businesses, hosting events, and promoting arts and culture.

Funded by a levy on local businesses, the BID reinvests in local projects, fostering a vibrant environment for work and leisure. Established in 2022, it builds on the EC Partnership’s success and is one of the UK’s largest BIDs, driving positive change in the Square Mile.

Focused on financial and professional services, the BID addresses key issues through cleaner streets, safety, sustainability, and community initiatives, ensuring the district thrives as a hub for commerce, innovation, and culture.
