4 days agoTourist tax expected to be introduced for London
London could introduce a tourist levy on overnight visitors, potentially raising up to 240m a year.
In recent years some of London's busiest tourist hotspots have been calling out for measures to capitalise on visitors and make things better for local residents. One such thing proposed to raise vital funds for local authorities is a tourist levy, which has been considered by the likes of Mayor of London Sadiq Khan (back in 2024) and northwest London borough Brent.
