Im in London Babay! London, London, London, the capital of England. Omg you would love London! It's so cool! Im gonna tell you about the economic and social conditions of London. London has the 6th largest city economy in the world after Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Paris. "As EU's second largest city economy after Paris, year-by-year London generates 20% of the UK's GDP (or $446 billion in 2005); while the economy of the London metropolitan are0a generates 30% of UK's GDP (or an estimated $669 billion in 2005)."London shifted to a mostly service-based economy earlier than other European cities, particularly following the Second World War. "Currently, over 85% (3.2 million) of the employed population of greater London works in the services industries. Another half a million employees resident in Greater London work in manufacturing and construction, almost equally divided between both." London has five major business districts: the City, Westminster, Canary Wharf, Camden & Islington and Lambeth & Southwark. One way to get an idea of their relative importance is to look at relative amounts of office space: Greater London had 26,721,000 m2 of office space in 2001.
