North London: Home to national and international companies such as Nortel Networks, Coca-cola Enterprises, Lombard Trinity Finance, and GE Lighting, North London is a major contributor to the economy of the Capital.

These include companies involved in the likes of printing, furniture manufacture, textiles, metal manufacturing, engineering and telecommunications.
A variety of business development sites and generally more attractive property purchase and leasing prices has created an environment for the successful cultivation of smaller enterprises.

In addition to this and other established projects there are a number of sites ready for development.

Locally, links to the City and the Channel Tunnel connection, in addition to the major national transport hubs of London Kings Cross and Euston are both frequent and reliable.
