Working Paper 22: London's Creative Sector: 2007 Update

London is known around the globe for its world class cultural offer and this report shows that London’s creative industries remain at the forefront of this global status. London offers special advantages for creative activity and employment, compared with other parts of the country. Most significantly, after three years of shedding jobs, in 2005 creative industry employment recovered sharply in London, creating 18,000 jobs in the capital between 2004 and 2005. All but one creative sector added jobs over this period.
