London's regional, sub-regional, and local gross value added (GVA) estimates are provided by the Office for National Statistics and GLA Economics. The data includes provisional estimates for 2013 (with 2012 industry breakdowns) using the income approach and experimental real GVA data from 1998 to 2012 using the production approach. The dataset covers borough-level GVA and incorporates recent changes to National Accounts methodology.
