Last year, local businesses voted for Team London Bridge to continue making the area a great place to work. We provide the everyday support, tools and services to make London Bridge a fantastic place to be, while our business community partners bring world-class workplace expertise and outstanding individuals to make the area safe, sustainable, responsible and healthy.

The ’A Great Place to Work’ Awards 2026 were held at Amazing Grace on St Thomas Street, a converted chapel providing the perfect venue to celebrate projects, milestones, commitments and personal successes that help us all enjoy and thrive in London Bridge.
