| | 17/08/2016 | Retail Week, James Wilmore, Nathan May - Infographic: London's Night Tube – where will the retail hotspots be? | | | Night Tube services to launch this week | | | Retail Week reports that the first Night Tube services are set to launch in London on Friday, kicking off on the Central and Victoria lines, with the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines set to follow in the autumn.
Tourist-heavy Leicester Square is set to be the number one spot for a potential boost to the night-time economy, including shops, according to CACI.
In May, the New West End Company predicted 'huge benefits' for London retailers.
Retailers could also begin to see a different demographic of shopper in high-density areas that are accessible far later during the weekend, CACI suggests.
TfL estimates that 1,700 permanent jobs, outside of the transport network, will be created as a result of the changes. |
