Executive Lunch with Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor of London for Housing & Residential Development

Thursday, 19th June 2025

We recently held our latest Executive Lunch at DoubleTree by Hilton London Greenwich with a returning guest speaker, Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor of London for Housing and Residential Development.

It was a great opportunity to hear about the future of housing in London, upcoming developments and key priorities for the year ahead. Guests enjoyed networking at the drinks reception before the Deputy Mayor’s talk which was followed by interesting Q&A session, and then an elegant two-course lunch.

We are grateful to Chamber member, Grant Saw LLP who kindly sponsored the lunch.

Taking on your first commercial lease can be daunting—but our recent webinar, held in partnership with Thackray Williams LLP, helped to make the process clearer for attendees.

Led by Associate Solicitors Sibel Vurdu and Susan Collins of Thackray Williams LLP, the session provided practical legal guidance on how to negotiate lease terms, avoid common pitfalls, and communicate effectively with landlords and agents. Key topics included understanding the 1954 Act, managing repair obligations, and streamlining negotiations to reduce legal costs.
