The LD6 network is situated in sought-after locations across the capital, on busy high streets and thoroughfares including Shopping areas (Oxford Street, Upper Street, Shepherds Bush Road, Victoria Street and Baker Street), Entertainment districts (Cambridge Circus, Aldwych, Shoreditch High Street, Camden High Street and Clapham High Street), Transport hubs (King鈥檚 Cross, Euston, Victoria and Clapham Junction) and Affluent Residential areas (Wandsworth, Hammersmith, Islington and Westminster).

According to Bauer Media Outdoor CEO Matthew Dearden: 鈥淥ur advertisers and their brands will be able to engage consumers by maximising time and context on this growing network to deliver powerful, flexible and interactive campaigns in London鈥檚 best locations.

鈥淭he launch of LD6, combined with the continued expansion of our digital mall and Socialite networks, is a demonstration of our commitment to significantly invest in developing new channels for our customers.鈥

As part of this investment, Bauer Media Outdoor recently promoted Cennydd Roberts to the new role of Head of Emerging Platforms, signalling its intent to work in partnership with new and existing customers as it expands its digital offering and investigates new multi-platform opportunities.
With the launch of LD6, Bauer Media Outdoor鈥檚 digital estate in the UK will now include: small format digital roadside in London, spectacular digital roadside in Piccadilly Circus, large format digital roadside in London, small format digital in malls across the UK, small format digital in pubs and bars across the UK and small format digital in Birmingham Airport.
