The Importance of London

London is home to more than 40,000 shops employing over 375,000 people. Oxford Street is Europe's busiest shopping street with 200 million visitors a year and a turnover of $9 billion.

Bond Street is famous for luxury brands such as Versace, Armani, Calvin Klein, Chanel and Mulberry. London is also home to more overseas retailers than anywhere else in Europe - over 2,000 in total, inlcuding major brands such as Sketchers (US), La Maison du Chocolat (France) and Uniqlo (Japan).

It is not just central London that provides a great shopping experience, London is also home to a number of regional shopping centres including Brent Cross in the north, Canary Wharf in the east, Croydon 'Centrale', Kingston Bentall Centre and the new Westfield shopping centre in Shepherds Bush. The continued success of London as a retail hub is dependent upon the people that work in the industry, from those on the shop floor all the way through to those in head office.

All of these factors combined may explain why more adults working in the retail industry live in London than any other region in the country.
