London Mayor Boris Johnson has warned that a change in planning laws making it easier to convert offices into homes is a threat to the City.
Johnson has signed a letter to communities secretary Eric Pickles, which is also supported by the British Property Federation, calling for business zones in London to receive continued protection from the new rules.
The amount of office space across the UK is falling, according to figures from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
