Housing in London
A global city whose housing scarcity is political, financial, and physical.
Overview
London sits inside England's planning system and the UK's house-price series, but it is not the same market as the national average. Land values, Green Belt, private rental demand, and international capital all matter. This page publishes because London is central to the UK housing debate, not because a complete local dataset has already been loaded.
Official statistics for this location will appear here as they are verified and attached. No placeholder figures are shown.
Current Situation
Use the UK HPI regional breakdowns, ONS private rental indices, and Greater London Authority housing data for current local figures. This project will attach those series as they are verified rather than inventing a London median.
