Back on the 17th September, we had the opportunity to view the infamous Bayeux Tapestry at British Museum as part of our PBID launch event.

With so much conversation around the tapestry since it opened to visitors, it felt particularly special to have the chance to see it up close and to share that experience with our guests.

The tapestry has been telling its story for almost 1,000 years, depicting one of the most significant moments in English history. And there was something rather fitting about bringing our own guests together in a place so steeped in history to talk about the future of our own area.

The British Museum is an iconic part of our footprint, so it was a real honour to host our proposed Property Owner BID launch within its walls.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of history, conversation and looking ahead to what’s next for Holborn, St Giles and Bloomsbury.

Yesterday we hosted our first al fresco evening in the newly pedestrianised area on St John Street!

With delicious food, drinks, music and plenty of sunshine, the street was transformed into a vibrant space for workers, residents and visitors to come together after work and enjoy.
