伦敦发展署建于2000年7月，前身是大伦敦管理局并为引进资金下放治理的组织。伦敦发展署是为了协助伦敦市长实施伦敦的经济发展战略，支持伦敦经济发展而成立的职能机构。

为达成该目标，伦敦发展署不局限于伦敦地区工作，也向伦敦地区以外的地方发展，为了去的更好的成果，并与伦敦许多行政区、企业和第三部门组织结成伙伴关系。

继2008年的伦敦新市长选举和伦敦发展署的新董事会和行政长官的任命后，伦敦发展署的综合方案重新进行了审查和变化。作为这项工作的一部分，伦敦发展署的新董事会引入了新方法，以决定如何更好地确定优先次序和投资决定，以最大限度地影响和提供资金的最佳价值。

伦敦发展署已经成立快12年了，它应对伦敦出现的一些最困难的挑战而进行的投资，产生的战略影响和应用的革新方法都在很大程度上影响了伦敦地区和伦敦人的生活和工作。

The London Development Agency (LDA) was created in July 2000, following establishment of the Greater London Authority (GLA) and the introduction of devolved governance for the capital.  The LDA was formed as a functional body of the GLA with responsibility for helping the Mayor of London to support the growth of London’s economy in line with the Mayor’s Economic Development Strategy for the capital.

To achieve its goals, the LDA worked across local boundaries to get the best results for London as a whole and in partnership with the boroughs and businesses and third sector organisations in the capital. 

Following the election of a new Mayor of London in 2008 and the appointment of a new Board and Chief Executive at the LDA, the LDA underwent a comprehensive programme of review and change.  As part of this, the LDA’s new Board introduced a new approach to deciding how best to set priorities and decide on investments in order to maximise impact and deliver the best possible value for money.

By the time of its closure, the LDA had been in existence for a little under 12 years.  Its investments, strategic influence and innovative approaches to some of the capital’s most difficult challenges had a significant impact on London and on the careers and lives of individual Londoners.
