TGP International Partners with New London Architecture to Advance Urban Placemaking

We are excited to announce our new membership of New London Architecture (NLA), a leading organisation focused on shaping the future of London’s built environment.

Through this partnership, TGP hopes to bring its expertise in F&B master planning and placemaking to the forefront of urban development in London, contributing to the ongoing conversation on the importance of food and beverage in city regeneration.

Transforming Communities through F&B and Urban Planning

As cities evolve, so too must the approach to urban planning. TGP and NLA are united in the belief that the role of F&B is becoming increasingly important to the agenda, from improving the commercial resilience of cities to providing individuals with life-changing opportunities in hospitality.

"At TGP, we have long championed the transformative power of F&B in enhancing city life. We believe that integrating F&B into urban design not only attracts visitors but also creates spaces where communities can thrive, connect and experience meaningful cultural exchange."— Simon Wright, Founder & Chairman, TGP International

Aligning with values that are important for the wider NLA membership—such as the need for more integration, sustainable planning and strategic thinking than spans multiple verticals—the collaboration aims to highlight the power of strategically planned F&B environments as a key component in enhancing city life and ensuring the success of urban developments.

A Collaborative Future for Urban Development

At the heart of this partnership is the belief that food and beverage can and should play a pivotal role in the regeneration and evolution of urban communities—whether it’s through the right mix of F&B within mixed use developments to the development of food halls and clustered F&B that can anchor malls and commercial complexes.

"The partnership between NLA and TGP presents an exciting opportunity for both organisations to collaborate and shape the future of London’s urban landscape. Through research, thought leadership and joint projects, we aim to position F&B as a crucial element in creating functional, sustainable and vibrant urban environments." —  Nick McKeogh, Chief Executive, New London Architecture (NLA) 

Short-term outcomes of the collaboration will include a series of panel discussions and white paper reports exploring the role of F&B as an integral function for NLA members, bringing together voices from architecture, urban planning, retail and real estate.
