London Legacy Development Corporation

The London Legacy Development Corporation is responsible for delivering one of the most important Olympic and Paralympic legacy promises made in the original London 2012 bid. This pledge related to the physical legacy of the Games - the long-term planning, development, management and maintenance of the Park and its impact on the surrounding area after the London 2012 Games. It is our task to create a new part of the city in east London - an inclusive community, a thriving business zone and a must-see destination where people will choose - and can afford - to live, work and play, and return time and time again. We are a Mayoral Development Corporation and therefore directly accountable to Londoners through the Mayor of London. We work closely with a number of organisations including the Mayor of London, the Greater London Authority, central government, the surrounding east London boroughs, residents in neighbouring local communities, local organisations, businesses and regeneration agencies and national and international sporting, cultural and leisure organisations.
