Let’s talk about the borough’s economy after 6pm.
What is the evening and night time economy?
The evening and night time economy describes economic activity that happens between 6pm and 6am.
It is sometimes misunderstood as being about alcohol consumption. In fact, it covers a range of industries and activities, from 24-hour health and social care through to supermarkets and local restaurants. These industries support the health, wellbeing and prosperity of residents 24-hours a day.
Why is Ealing’s economy after 6pm strategy needed?
Over a quarter of local spend and 17% of Ealing’s population work in the evening and night time economy, including at major 24-hour employers such as Heathrow and Ealing Hospital. It also plays an important role in the social and cultural life of the borough's residents.
We are preparing Ealing’s economy after 6pm strategy to make the borough a more prosperous and inclusive place to live, work, visit and run a business after 6pm. Earlier this year, thousands of local residents and businesses shared their ideas for this strategy which is due to be adopted in Autumn 2024.
