CLA London Branch

CLA London Branch provides a different way to allow members to maximise the value of their membership with the opportunity to join a group of people who have strong rural connections but spend a good deal of their time in London.

CLA London Branch includes regular meetings with high profile, relevant speakers and a strong social element, usually at a London venue in the early evening. Through its own committee structure and representation within the CLA, views and ideas expressed at London Branch meetings are fed into CLA policy formulation and political lobbying.

Existing London Branch Members also hugely value the opportunity it affords, to exchange views and share experience with others involved in landowning and rural economic matters. Membership of London Branch is open to all CLA landowning, business and professional members regardless of location, creating a broad regional network of those who have a significant stake in the countryside.

Membership benefits
