The Centre for London says levelling up outside of the capital should not come at its expense.
The think tank carried out focus groups involving 2,000 people from London and elsewhere to find out how people feel about London's dominant status as the country's only "global" city.
Indeed, in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic, London was visited by nearly 22 million tourists - around 63% of the total number who visited England and more than 53% of those who visited the UK.Their spending supported one in seven of all jobs in London, 700,000 of them, and nearly 12% of the city's economic output, according to researchers.
According to the report, the capital "kickstarts" innovations in public transport such as contactless payment, helping to make London fundamental to the UK's productivity and creativity.
