About us
South London Partnership works with a number of south London statutory, public, private, and voluntary and community organisations to fulfil its core objective of securing a sustainable south London. The Partnership Chairman is Bruce McDonald, Chief Executive of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
The elected Leaders of the constituent boroughs – South London Councils - meet regularly and this cross-party group works collaboratively to represent the interests of south London residents and businesses. Their work includes regular meetings with the Mayor and representatives from the Greater London Authority, MPs and key government representatives. Selected South London Councils Leaders represent south London on the newly formed Mayor's Outer London Commission . The Outer London Commission will develop policy recommendations to help enable outer London - of which South London Partnership accounts for a quarter - to realise its economic, social and environmental potential and play a full part in London’s continued success.
The South London Partnership sub-region is defined as the six London Boroughs of Croydon, Merton, Richmond upon Thames, Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Sutton and Wandsworth. Principally our work engages all of these boroughs but we also work collaboratively beyond these boroughs.
The work of the partnership is taken forward by the Task Groups: which comprise partners with key delivery responsibilities for planning, transport, environment, skills, business support, sports, arts and culture; and through the wider partnership network which draws together amenity groups, environmental groups, architects, large and small businesses and individuals with a keen interest in south London’s health and prosperity.
The arrangements for London’s sub-regions are currently undergoing a review and this will result in some changes to how the partnership decision making and networks are organised. This site will be updated to reflect these changes.
South London Partnership is staffed by a small team based at the Capital Business Centre, just south of Croydon. The Partnership has representation from a wide range of public, private and community organisations and includes:
