London Development Agency
The London Development Agency (LDA) was formed in 2000 after the set up of the Greater London Authority (GLA), along with a prelude of devolved governance for London was closed on March 31, 2012. This agency was created to bring sustainable economic development within the capital. However, due to the coalition government’s expenditure review, the London Development Agency (LDA) was shut down. After the closure, Greater London Authority (GLA) had taken over not only some of the functions of the LDA, but also acquired its assets and liabilities. The programs that were taken over by the GLA were Think London, Study London, Visit London and a few others.
Update: This agency has been closed and is no more operational.
