Average Private Rent in London

There is no single official “average rent in London” the way there is for Leeds or Manchester. ONS’s Price Index of Private Rents publishes London as 32 separate local authorities — its boroughs — each with its own figure, not as one city-wide statistic. The 2,302 above is the regional aggregate across all of them: the closest thing to a single London number, and honestly labelled as a region-level average, not a borough’s own rent.

For an actual rent figure, pick your borough below — each has its own page: average rent by bedroom count, the 24-month trend, and how it compares to London and England, exactly like every other city we cover.
