London, Engineering, Manufacturing, Life Sciences
London is a thriving economy where salaries are often 60% higher than the national average. As London is large in scale in geographical terms there are various regions of London that have thriving business traditions. From inner-city London areas such as Camden, Islington, Southwark, Canary Wharf and Westminster to the East End to sprawling out to Greater London regions. However, inner-city London is often known for the finance, banking, legal, media and professional service sectors.
It’s in the outer West and East regions that the engineering, manufacturing and industrial sectors become more prominent. For example, the Temple Mills Depot for the maintenance of the Eurostar fleet is based in Waltham Forest. Similarly, out West and along the M4 corridor there is a concentration of jobs in transport and aerospace, particularly located around key national airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick.
Also, located in the west is a higher proportion of scientific jobs and engineering consultancies.
As a result of London’s importance to the UK and world economy, many of these regions can boast the home to many world-leading organisations’ global, European and UK headquarters. For instance, large organisations such as BP, BAE and GSK to name but a few have located their headquarters in London and Greater London.
