Rishi Sunak has urged Londoners to rally behind the capital’s “great return” as he hailed a major investment by drinks giant Guinness in the heart of the West End.
The Chancellor told the Standard the £73 million move to create a Guinness microbrewery, event space, store and restaurant in Covent Garden was a “crucial vote of confidence” in the capital that would help “drive forward London’s economy as we leave Covid behind”.
