London Rents Map
The London Rents Map shows average monthly private rental prices for different types of homes across London. The map reflects private rents for both new and existing tenancies and allows users to explore the latest rent levels and long-term trends since 2015.
Rental prices are presented as averages at borough level. Estimates for the City of London are not published due to low data collection volumes.
The map is updated monthly, and contains latest data from the previous month.

Definitions and methodology
The London Rents Map uses data produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Price Index of Private Rents (PIPR), which measures changes in achieved rents for new and existing tenancies from private landlords and letting agents in the UK.
PIPR uses a fixed basket methodology which provides improved data accuracy, consistency and geographical granularity compared to the previous ONS user-requested data used to create the London Rents Map, which relied on advertised prices and a rolling 12-month sample.
Data is published monthly at local authority level.
The reference period for the PIPR index is January 2023, and statistics are available from January 2015.
For more information, including any sample or methodology queries, please see the ONS’ monthly private rent and house prices statistical bulletins.
