Why have a business operating out of London? That’s easy; because London is once again at the top of the list of best cities for business in Europe, according to the European Cities Monitor (ECM).
The head of the office responsible for this survey had these words to say: “From year to year London is consolidating its position as part of an elite group of global cities, together with New York and Tokyo. With the Olympic Games on the horizon in 2012, providing there is no major global economic turndown, London’s future seems to be only in one direction: up.”
Still not convinced? Okay. How about some stats… Over 20% of Europe’s top 500 companies are in London and 25% of the world’s largest financial companies have their main offices in London. $504 billion is turned over here every single day in the largest foreign exchange market in the world. So- doing business here in London… you’re in good company (pun intended!)
