LREF 2017: Has London got the space that the retail industry demands?

They discuss the impact of tourism shopping on major retailers, the operational changes London retailers are undergoing to gain better access the global and online markets, the effects of the business rate changes in April on London as a competitor in a global market, and whether London retail is Brexit-proof.
