London & Partners CEO Gordon Innes added: "We want to ensure that not only can London welcome the world in 2012, but that we can also retain and grow new businesses for the years to come. London is attracting the world's top creative minds and entrepreneurs, and Central Working's Basecamp will make sure anyone coming to the capital from abroad has access to the very best work spaces and support to help their companies to flourish."
