"Grants of up to £100,000 could be awarded for large-scale pedestrianisation projects, and smaller venues could be granted up to £10,000 to help increase their capacity."
"Sir Sadiq Khan expressed his desire for this summer to be 'the biggest ever summer for al fresco dining in our capital's history.'"

London councils will have access to a £400,000 fund to promote outdoor dining this summer. The funding aims to help cafes, bars, and restaurants expand street seating and extend hours for the football World Cup. Grants of up to £100,000 will be available for large pedestrianisation projects, while smaller venues can receive up to £10,000. This initiative follows last summer's successful outdoor dining scheme, which boosted community events and foot traffic. Applications will open in April, with boroughs expected to provide match funding.
