The Oxford Street Development Corporation (OSDC) has been established to lead the long‑term regeneration and transformation of Oxford Street and its surrounding area to deliver a truly world‑class public realm. Transforming Oxford Street is one of the UK’s most exciting regeneration programmes; in 2022 it contributed an estimated £25 billion to London’s economy, nearly five per cent of the city’s total GVA and about one per cent of the United Kingdom’s economic output.
The OSDC will provide a single guiding mind to lead delivery, build relationships between the private and public sector, and accelerate investment into Oxford Street and the West End. Our board sets the strategic direction of the organisation and brings diverse insight and cross‑sector expertise including retail, property, leisure, fashion, music, theatre, media, law and politics.
We have the chance to re‑invent Oxford Street, working with businesses, retailers, residents and local organisations to create one of the finest public spaces in the world. Located in the heart of London’s West End, the area benefits from an unrivalled concentration of retail, arts, hospitality, entertainment and employment. This regeneration will ensure Oxford Street remains firmly on the map as a globally recognised destination, future‑proofing its role as a huge driver of London’s economic growth and an exciting place to visit for Londoners and tourists alike.
If you are successful, you will join a rapidly growing organisation, set up on 1 January 2026, and be fully dedicated to shaping and delivering this exciting new chapter for Oxford Street.
