In 2023, London had a gross domestic product of over 569 billion British pounds, by far the most of any region of the United Kingdom. The region of South East England which surrounds London had the second-highest GDP in this year, at over 360 billion pounds. North West England, which includes the major cities of Manchester and Liverpool, had the third-largest GDP among UK regions, at almost 250 billion pounds. Levelling Up the UK London’s economic dominance of the UK can clearly be seen when compared to the other regions of the country. In terms of GDP per capita, the gap between London and the rest of the country is striking, standing at over 63,600 pounds per person in the UK capital, compared with just over 37,100 pounds in the rest of the country. To address the economic imbalance, successive UK governments have tried to implement "levelling-up policies", which aim to boost investment and productivity in neglected areas of the country. The success of these programs going forward may depend on their scale, as it will likely take high levels of investment to reverse economic neglect regions have faced in the recent past. Overall UK GDP The gross domestic product for the whole of the United Kingdom amounted to 2.56 trillion British pounds in 2024. During this year, GDP grew by 0.9 percent, following a growth rate of 0.4 percent in 2023. Due to the overall population of the UK growing faster than the economy, however, GDP per capita in the UK fell in both 2023 and 2024. Nevertheless, the UK remains one of the world’s biggest economies, with just five countries (the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and India) having larger economies. It is it likely that several other countries will overtake the UK economy in the coming years, with Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and Mexico all expected to have larger economies than Britain by 2050.

The London IO tables provide an overview of activity across sectors and key aggregates (production, consumption and expenditure) as well as the interlinkages between sectors and London’s trade (with the rest of the UK, the EU and the rest of the world).

The IO tables are product x product rather than industry x industry.

The data is for the product definition of sectors, and sector coverage aligns with the 2014 London Business Survey. See https://data.london.gov.uk/gla-economics/london-business-survey-2014/

Film and Television industries tend to cluster in a very small number of places around the world, moreover, they appear to be rooted to these places. These locales tend to be very high cost, and thus, there must be a strong need, and benefit of such location patterns. A classic film and television 'cluster' is located in London, with its core in Soho. One of the first objectives of the research is to confirm these points. Beyond this basic mapping, the research seeks to examine the organisation of the film and television industries in London, and thus to understand how Soho fits into this picture. It uses the notion of the 'production chain' to conceptualise the linkage between different stages of the production process. A central point of this research is to investigate the sensitivity of firms in the Film and Television industry to both proximity and to the specifics of particular places. The notion of relationship between firms is explored in terms of directly traded, economic, relationships, as well as more informal and non-economic relationships. The research methods used in the research are twofold. First, we use commercial and industry directories to map the firms by location and activity. Second, we will carry out detailed face-to-face interviews with a sample of firms, numbering 60 in total, in the five clusters that we expect to find in the London region. These interviews will yield detailed information on the firms and the nature of their core activities and the character and nature of their interaction with other companies.

As London looks ahead to a skills devolution deal, the capital has ambitions to create an adult skills system that is more responsive to the needs of the local economy. This work reflects on the area based review which will shape the future of the Further Education sector in London. Analysis by GLA Economics sets out what drives London’s economy, and what this means for future skills needs. In this series of papers we analyse the demand for jobs and skills to inform the Government’s area reviews of post-16 education and training, covering four London sub-regions (working papers 76-79). Thanks to London’s excellent transport links, the job opportunities available to learners are wider than a particular sub-region. The 2011 Census shows that less than half of all workers in London (48%) live in the same sub-regional area as their place of work. This calls for a broader, pan-London view (working paper 75). https://www.london.gov.uk/business-and-economy-publications/skills-londons-economy

A London series by industry and a borough series (no industry) 1984 to 2011.

These data have been used by GLA Economics to forecast long-term employment projections and within GLA Economics' models for exports, tourism and life sciences. The two series are:

1. London Employment Jobs: a London level series which includes Employee Jobs and Self-Employment Jobs from 1984 to 2010 with industries by GLA Economics sectors on a SIC 2007 basis
2. A borough level Employee Jobs series 1984 to 2010 (no industry breakdown)

Methods and assumptions behind the data are explained in the GLA Economics Working Paper 52

DOI Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The project sought to further understanding of London's dynamic role within the economy of its region, and of England as a whole, between c.1300 and c.1600. It sought to clarify the parallels between the medieval and early modern periods and to explore the dynamics of change by assembling data relating to the development of trade networks over a 300 year period. Data derived from debt litigation has been used to measure the degree to which different parts of the country were united in a single economy and participated in regular trade with London at different dates. Analysis of 'detailed' debt cases has provided valuable insights into the content of trade and the mechanisms of exchange. Grain price series from London, provincial towns and rural manors have been used to explore the emergence of integrated regional and super-regional markets, and to chart the city's complex interaction with its agrarian hinterland and with other urban markets. The changing relations between London and England's provincial centres and the city's interaction with the dynamic urban and metropolitan economies of the north-west European mainland, have been investigated. Main Topics: Three principle types of information are contained in the data collection: i) data on debt and credit linkages; ii) details of commercial organisation; and iii) wheat price series. The data on debt and credit linkages and the details of commercial organisation are the product of sampling debt litigation contained in the records of England's Court of Common Pleas, for the Michaelmas law terms of 1329, 1424 and 1570, and also include debt cases for the Michaelmas law terms of 1500 and 1602 which detail the commodity or nature of obligation. The data as collected relate principally to London, the ten surrounding counties of Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Middlesex, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey; and three more distant counties, Yorkshire, Staffordshire and Devon. Data can be analysed at the level of individual locality (village, town etc), county and region, and can be broken down by the occupation or status of debtors or creditors. The strength of this data is its abundance, its suitability for quantitative analysis, and the light it can shed upon patterns of commercial and related interaction between individuals, groups, towns and regions. It is most useful for illustrating the structure of relationships and their changes over time. The datasets do not provide national coverage, although individuals from every county in England are encountered. The wheat price series have been compiled from various manuscript and other unpublished sources and cover London between 1277 and 1640, Exeter between 1317 and 1640, Chester between 1378 and 1503, Canterbury between 1393 and 1502, and for twelve Bishopric of Winchester manors in the Thames valley and adjacent areas of southern England between 1208 and 1454. All these series have gaps of greater or lesser extent within the indicated spans, and there are significant variations in data quality between and within the series, necessitating great caution in their analysis and interpretation.
