The EIB has worked with the United Kingdom since 1973. We helped the Channel Tunnel get people from London to Paris and Brussels faster and more sustainably. We increased rail capacity in London and introduced more modern trains. We turned industrial areas such as London’s Canary Wharf or Cardiff’s docks into vibrant attractions, brought state-of-the-art emergency services to Birmingham hospitals and built affordable social housing across the country.
