Queen Elizabeth Park Economic and Social Impact Report
Learning from a global exemplar of vision-led regeneration
In 2024, Prior + Partners were appointed by the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) to lead an independent assessment quantifying and articulating the economic and social impacts of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park since 2012.
Working alongside collaborators at Future Places Studio and our team of researchers, economists and planners, we have produced an independent report that highlights the Park’s economic and social contribution to London and the UK economy. By the end of 2024, the area supported 38,300 jobs, attracted 20 million annual visitors; and contributed £3.5bn GVA per annum.
Looking ahead to 2035, the work demonstrates that the Park could deliver an additional 13,300 jobs and £2.0 billion GVA per annum. Beyond the numbers, the study also showcases the wider social, cultural and environmental impacts, as well as the drivers and conditions that have enabled these to be realised, and which now form a strong platform for more inclusive growth.
An executive summary of the report is available below, and the full report can be downloaded here.
