City Centres Bounce Back To Life

Total footfall averaged across the UK's 63 largest city centres for February is as high as it has been for two years, according to Centre for Cities/Locomizer.

Weekend footfall is back to pre-pandemic levels most of the large cities and weekday activity is also reaching a record recovery numbers due to the return to the office.

Large cities have struggled to get workers back but are approaching full recovery (90% of pre-pandemic levels). London, which is improving, still continues to lag.

The return of commuters has boosted the night-time economy. This contributes to the vitality to urban neighbourhoods once again making city centres an appealing place to work, live and play for many.
