Throughout 2025, VibeLab is partnering with the Greater London Authority and the London Nightlife Taskforce on new research that will identify solutions that can help protect, retain and grow nightlife in London.
The Mayor Sadiq Khan has asked representatives from across London’s diverse nightlife businesses and communities to join an independent taskforce.
Together with VibeLab and UCL, taskforce will examine and address the issues facing London city’s nighttime hospitality and culture, consulting widely and delivering evidence-based recommendations to the Mayor.
Over the coming months, we’ll be engaging directly with nightlife communities and businesses, conducting surveys, hosting events, and gathering key insights to shape evidence-based recommendations for the Mayor.
Stay tuned for updates and ways to get involved—London’s nightlife needs your voice!

“I’m determined to do all I can to work alongside our night-time industries, which is why I’ve brought together this independent taskforce of experts to examine and address the opportunities and issues facing the industry. Their expertise and unparalleled knowledge garnered from years of working across a range of night-time industries will help to inform and develop our collective efforts to support nightlife, as we continue to build a better London for everyone.”
