The London economy was growing strongly when Omicron hit
The latest data point to a strong recovery underway in London in Q4 2021. But this pace of expansion will have been hit by the Omicron Covid-19 variant, even if only temporarily.

- Workplace based jobs are forecast to grow by 2.1% this year.
