You’ll never guess which London borough earns the most

Just kidding: it’s The City, obviously, and by a pretty margin, too. As revealed in a new report by the Office of National Statistics, pinstriped types earn an average salary of £50,575, well above the London-wide average of £34,315. 

Tower Hamlets (the borough in which Canary Wharf lives) comes in second with average earnings of £41,866 a year, while the city’s politicians make do with third place, with Westminster salaries averaging £35,721.

Unsurprisingly, incomes are more modest in the outer limits of town, with Sutton (£22.1k), Bexley (£20.9k) and Harrow (£17.8k) propping up the city’s earnings league table.

But what about you? Is it time you jacked in the day job and found yourself a more lucrative postcode? Or perhaps you’re in need of a little evidence your boss is shafting you? Read on and get negotiating.
