The final episode of our ‘history of LGBT spaces in London' podcast series, launched to coincide with LGBT+ History Month this February, examines the recent decline in numbers of LGBTQ+ spaces in the capital. Part 1 of this episode sees our digital communications officer, Eliza White, provide an introduction and touch upon the myriad of reasons as to why the number of LGBTQ+ spaces in London is declining. Shaftesbury PLC chief executive, Brian Bickell, then joins UCEM PR and social media manager, Andrew Belt, to provide a real estate perspective on this decline, including what can be done to preserve venues and how the market must adapt to the changing needs of the LGBTQ+ community. In Part 2, having gained research-based insights, thoughts from a CEO of an LGBTQ+ venue and a real estate perspective earlier in the series, Andrew Belt speaks to UCEM Trustees, Misa von Tunzelman (head of corporate affairs and marketing – Europe at Lendlease) and Chris Costigan (university secretary and chief compliance officer at Ravensbourne University London), for a more general perspective on the situation. Misa and Chris share their stories of coming out, both personally and professionally, their thoughts on progressing equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in society and what role LGBTQ+ venues in London have played in their lives, as well as their views and hopes on the future of such spaces in the capital. In the final part of the episode, we explore the changing face of LGBTQ+ spaces in the capital, hearing from Dan Westley – the captain of the London Royals Hockey Club – the first openly LGBTQ+ hockey club in the UK. Dan, who is leasing director at Battersea Power Station, shares how the club has grown over its 16-year existence, comments on the burgeoning LGBTQ+ sports club scene in the capital and reflects on its growth in relation the falling number of traditional LGBTQ+ spaces in London. Eliza White then rejoins Andrew Belt for her conclusions on the series.

In this episode of the EG Property Podcast EG editor Samantha McClary is in conversation with Shaftesbury chief executive Brian Bickell. The pair talk about the importance of landlord and tenant relationships and the role that real estate has to play in helping to amplify the voices of those that often don’t get heard or seen. As part of Black History Month, Shaftesbury has teamed up with My Runway Group, a youth empowerment organisation dedicated to inspiring and developing young black creatives, to open 21 Youth Street. The pop-up store on Carnaby Street is open until the end of October and will feature more than 50 black owned businesses, providing a platform for them to showcase their brands. It is an initiative that Bickell is really proud of and one way that he thinks real estate can do its bit. Vacant stores, after all, are not that hard to come by right now,  so why not utilise them to do some good? But before you dive in to the podcast. The usual warning. This was recorded over Teams so the sound quality does sound a little echoey in places. But as always, the conversation is bang on point and really quite the delight for your ears. Enjoy.

Brian qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1976. He joined Shaftesbury when it was formed in 1986, and was Finance Director from its float on the London Stock Exchange in 1987 until he became Chief Executive in 2011.
