: That share has increased steadily over the past two decades, from 14.7 per cent in 1997, according to The Independent. Average income per head in London is also much higher than in rest of country, at £22,500 in 2013 versus a national average of £17,600. The data highlights how London, in 2013, was the most dominant region, with a 16.8 per cent share of total household incomes. Yet, perhaps surprisingly, income per head in London has not grown as quickly as in other regions in more recent years. Indeed, London per capita income has risen more slowly than in every region of the UK except Northern Ireland . The region with the strongest growth since 2008 is actually the North-east. Since 2008 London incomes are up 11.5 per cent, lower than the UK average growth of 12.8 per cent.
