The Greater London industrial property market

Greater London sits within the Greater London industrial and logistics market. Greater London covers 32 boroughs plus the City of London and is home to around 9.1 million people, making it the largest commercial property market in the UK. We arrange acquisition finance, commercial mortgages, bridging, development finance, mezzanine and term debt on industrial and logistics property across the county, tracking 43 industrial catchments, led by Barking, Brent, Dagenham, Hayes and Park Royal.

The market figures below are reported nationally or at regional level by the industry's research sources, attributed to each source, and used as context rather than a Greater London-specific measurement. The planning data and housing-transaction context is genuinely local and sourced from council planning registers and HM Land Registry.

Industrial locations and landlords across Greater London

Industrial demand concentrates along the A406 North Circular, A40 Western Avenue, A13, North Circular A406 and A12 corridors, where road access drives occupier demand for units and yards. Established industrial locations such as Park Royal, Atlas Road, Queenstown Road and Silverthorne Road are the natural home for workshops, trade counters and multi-let units, and the first places a valuer looks for rental comparables. Multi-let landlords with estates across the county include Mileway and Indurent.

Rents, vacancy and yields

The UK industrial and logistics market saw 25.6m sq ft of big-box take-up in 2025 (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, 2025), with £10.5bn of investment (Knight Frank, UK Logistics Market Dashboard, 2025). Prime Greater London rents run to up to £32.00/sq ft (Newmark (Gerald Eve), UK Prime Logistics, Q4 2024), and prime equivalent yields sit around 4.75% (Knight Frank, UK Logistics Market Dashboard, Jan 2026). Nationally, CBRE put logistics vacancy at 7.08% (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, Q4 2025), against forecast rental growth of 2.7% (Savills, Big Shed Prospects 2026, 2026 forecast).
