The Royal Exchange

London is the economic engine of the UK. The capital is a massive wealth creator for both the national and global economies. The headquarters of more than 100 of Europe's 500 largest companies are in the capital. London’s £162 billion economy is larger than some EU countries and accounts for 17 per cent of the UK’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a measure of earning wealth.

This makes it a good city in which to both find work and find workers. Finding work in London is enhanced by there being so many different kinds of jobs to choose. For those looking for workers, it offers a broad pool of people with many and varied skills, languages and cultural backgrounds. Over 300 languages are spoken in multi-cultural London.

All this is supported by a comprehensive public transport structure and very healthy numbers of public and commercial employment agencies.

Our Business and Jobs section gives you access to all you need to know about finding a job in London as well as setting up and running a business in the capital.
