This Housing Research Note, published in February 2021 examines patterns and trends over time in housing floorspace in London and England, as well as making some indicative comparisons between countries and between London boroughs. It focuses on the measurement of floorspace per person, calculated as the average space (in square metres) per occupied dwelling divided by the average number of people per household.
