The 1000 Magazine

From Boris Johnson to Dame Vivienne Westwood, hundreds of London's most influential people gathered for the launch of the Evening Standard's annual guide to the rich and powerful.

The capital is a magnet for talent, national and international. London is a city at the forefront of creation and innovation, where no one can afford to stand still. The energetic force that is London is sustained and made possible by the many people who make the city great.

The London Evening Standard is proud to celebrate those who make London great, every year we select and showcase the 1,000 most influential people. They possess a mixture of confidence, zest, cleverness, ambition and character.

We salute every aspect of London from the most generous philanthropists to life-saving surgeons, digital entrepreneurs, artists, novelists, even brow-beaten politicians who aspire to dedicate their working lives to trying to make the world a better place.

The capital has witnessed lots of change in the past year with economic uncertainty, riots in the streets, university fees and anti-capitalism protests, plus the phone-hacking scandal that convulsed the media, police and Westminster. Through all this, smart, modern dynamic and entrepreneurial people are driving London forward.
