Location guide / Greater London
London’s employment market covers finance, technology, healthcare, construction, creative work and much more. There is no single housing or commuting pattern that fits it all. Borough services, the cost of a particular home and the complete journey to work provide a more useful starting point than a London-wide average.

This guide is due for a refresh. Check the official sources below for the latest local details.
Know the areaThis is a Greater London guide. Individual London-area fairs have their own venues; the housing benchmark is for London as a region, not the City of London or a particular neighbourhood.
Official area data
London · September 2026
London · August 2026
London · 2025
Whole statistical area, not necessarily the town boundary.Employment rate, age 16–64: 74.5% · London · Jul 2025-Jun 2026. Survey estimate; local results can be volatile.
Area averages are not current asking prices or individual property valuations. Local short-term changes are volatile; use a year or longer. UK HPI house-price observations are provisional and subject to revision.
City Hall identifies financial and business services, technology, life sciences, creative activity, the visitor economy and green industries among London’s strengths. The 2026–2029 skills evidence also covers construction, health and social care, and hospitality.
Start with a short list of tasks, sectors and acceptable workplaces. At the fair, ask about office attendance, shifts, paid training and progression. A recognisable London employer may place a role at a campus, hospital, branch or operational site far from its headquarters.
Transport for London is one employer example, with its careers hub covering recruitment, apprenticeships, graduate routes and work experience. Each pathway has its own entry requirements and application process.
Choose two or three areas linked to the workplace, then compare the same property type. The official rent figure shown alongside covers the London region. It is neither an asking rent nor a room price, and variation between boroughs is substantial.
Price current listings together with travel, Council Tax, utilities, broadband and one-off moving costs. Check heating, storage, shared facilities and the condition of the home. If sharing, establish the practical arrangements for bills and common areas before committing.
TfL’s planner compares London journeys and provides options relevant to different access needs. Plan using the full home and workplace addresses. A direct route with a useful final walk may be more practical than a shorter journey involving several changes.
Check fares for the actual route, attendance days and times; do not assume all rail journeys use the same fare rules. Test an early shift, late finish and weekend pattern if relevant. Check engineering works and live service information before travelling to the fair.
The official London guide covers museums, parks, outdoor activity, theatre and neighbourhood experiences. Use it to discover options, then narrow the choices to what fits your time and budget. London’s best-known attractions need not become the basis of every weekend.
During housing visits, try the ordinary routine: food shopping, a library, a park and an evening journey home. Explore community activity close to the address you are considering. A manageable local routine makes the wider city easier to enjoy.
Use the government’s postcode tool to identify your council. Council Tax, housing support, waste collections, parking and school information depend on the borough and address. A “London” postal description is not enough to identify the correct service.
Before moving, prepare the tenancy inventory, utility arrangements and a first-month budget. For families, verify admissions and childcare availability alongside working hours. If arriving from outside the UK, check the relevant official requirements for your own circumstances rather than assuming an event registration gives permission to work.
We use official local authorities, transport operators, public data and destination organisations. Data periods are shown alongside figures. Employer examples describe the local economy; they are not a promise of vacancies or attendance at the fair.
Next editorial review due 3 December 2026. Prices, services and availability can change before then.

The event was very well organised and there was a diverse range of employers present. We were busy throughout the event and engaged with a lot of job seekers. It is an event that we would recommend and quite readily attend again
