London and leisure: all fun and games
Cultural and leisure attractions are reshaping many parts of the capital – not least the City of London with its ambitious Destination City initiative to make the Square Mile a cultural hotspot. As buildings are repurposed and mixed-use projects rethought, the opportunity for real estate to shape new offerings is compelling.
- How sustainable is consumer demand for these sites and projects?
- What kind of contribution can the sector make to the capital’s economy?
- How can unloved offices and other buildings be repurposed?
- How will this trend make us rethink the identity of different neighbourhoods and boroughs?

Panel discussion
Compass check: the shifting dynamics of international capital flows
Investment markets are showing signs of recovery, but not all jurisdictions will benefit to the same extent. What will it take for national markets to draw in the big money from across borders? Which sources of money look set to drive the most notable real estate investment activity, what type of deals will dominate, and which markets risk missing out?
- How has the pecking order of the most active sources of capital changed as the recovery has become more certain?
- Which traditional sectors will remain in favour and which alternative asset classes may come to the fore?
- Which markets have cooled and are left with the most to do - and which could be overlooked and offer untapped opportunity?
- To what extent are pricing expectations more aligned, and what will this mean for activity?
