Deep knowledge of the City
Nine years of service have given me a detailed understanding of the issues affecting Bridge Ward and the wider City of London.
Tim Levene
Alderman for Bridge. Entrepreneur and investor.
Standing for re-election as your Alderman on Thursday 10 September 2026.
Introduction
A strong voice for Bridge at Guildhall
I have served Bridge Ward since 2017, first as your Common Councillor and, since 2022, as your Alderman. On Thursday 10 September, I am asking for your vote to continue in that role.
This is, above all, a ward of business: of insurance, wealth management, law and property firms on some of the most valuable commercial streets in the world. My job is to make the Corporation work for you: streets that are safe and clean, a public realm to match the firms based here, planning that helps rather than hinders, and a Square Mile that keeps winning the work the rest of the world wants. And for those who live as well as work here, a ward that feels like a neighbourhood, not just a postcode.
I bring a business owner’s perspective to that work. I have spent more than 25 years building and backing companies, and today I lead Augmentum Fintech, the investment business I founded and listed on the London Stock Exchange. I know what firms need from the City because I have sat on your side of the table, and I put that knowledge to work at Guildhall on your behalf.

Bridge Ward
Serving Bridge Ward
- Serving Bridge Ward since 2017, first as a Common Councillor and, since 2022, as your Alderman, I am seeking re-election on Thursday 10 September to continue representing the businesses and residents of the Ward.
- Whether the issue is a planning application, licensing, street cleanliness or safety, I take the Ward’s concerns straight to the committees and officers who can act on them, and I report back on what happens.
- I have worked to be visible, accessible and accountable: through the annual Wardmote, quarterly business breakfasts, informal ward gatherings and regular newsletters that keep electors informed.
- Working closely with our Common Councillors, Sheriff & Deputy Keith Bottomley and Hugh Selka, we act as one team for Bridge: whatever the issue, one of us is on it.
- I remain committed to ensuring Bridge Ward continues to thrive as one of the City’s most vibrant places to live, work and do business.
Entrepreneur & Investor
Championing innovation
- My career has been spent building and backing businesses: co-founding Crussh, joining the founding team at Flutter, and taking Augmentum Fintech, the UK’s first publicly listed fintech investment company, to the main market of the London Stock Exchange in 2018.
- I have brought that experience to Guildhall: championing fintech, technology and AI, and promoting the policies that keep the City globally competitive, for our established institutions and the next generation of entrepreneurs alike.
- My test for any City policy is simple: does it help the firms and people who work here to prosper? If it does, I back it; if it does not, I say so.
Nine Years of Service
Experience and leadership
Key Corporation committees
I have served on key Corporation committees, including Finance, Investment, the Financial Investment Board and Digital Services, helping shape decisions that affect the City’s future.
Chair of Governors, City of London School
As Chair of Governors of the City of London School, where I was a pupil from the age of nine, I am committed to helping young people gain the skills and opportunities they need in a rapidly changing world.
Elected Sheriff of the City of London
This June, I was elected Sheriff of the City of London for the coming year: an honour for the ward as much as for me, and one that will not come at Bridge’s expense.
A voice on the Court of Aldermen
On the Court of Aldermen, I am one of 25 voices in the room, and I make sure one of them is always Bridge’s: speaking with energy, independence and integrity.
Community and culture
Alongside my civic work, I support a number of educational, charitable and cultural organisations, reflecting my belief that a successful City depends on strong communities as well as a strong economy.
