The opportunity

To provide businesses with a platform where they are supported by BID services and benefit from connectivity with neighbouring businesses and the local community.

The BID area centred around Kensington High Street includes a wide variety of businesses: retailers, restaurants, hotels, pubs, museums, attractions and offices. All of them play an important role in Kensington’s economy and the BID programme will seek to provide value to them all. To achieve a truly collaborative framework that benefits the whole area, a business network must be grounded in the local community.

To achieve a truly collaborative framework that benefits the whole area, a business network must be grounded in the local community.

Opportunity Kensington will:

  • Deliver services and perks for business owners and employees that support the attraction and retention of talent, cultivate a pride of place, and build business resilience.
  • Represent a collective voice on behalf of businesses and local stakeholders.
  • Nurture a collaborative and connected business community that shares experience, expertise, data and insight.
  • Offer opportunities for businesses to reduce costs through collective purchasing.
  • Encourage positive business impact by delivering and supporting initiatives with charities and social enterprises that bring community benefits.

“The timing of the BID could not be better for the hotel sector. This is a pivotal moment to come together as a community after a challenging few years. As we look to re-open, Opportunity Kensington gives the area and its stakeholders the platform we need to make 2022 and beyond a success.”

— Gareth Quin, Commercial Director, Royal Garden Hotel
