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. |
