All boroughs within the London commuter belt usually perform well in term of economy. Overall, South East England is known for being the powerhouse of the Uk’s economy with Slough being the leader. The borough has managed to outperform London, contributing £82,000 of GVA per worker, while the national average is a bit below £60,000. This is possible thanks to incredible business diversity and the largest number of HQ offices in the UK. Slough has managed to attract so many major companies thanks to a range of factors. First of all, it’s so close to Central London, it only takes a 20-minute train ride to get here from London Paddington. Second of all, the rent prices are significantly cheaper than in the capital, while the town is still able to offer access to a highly-qualified talent pool.
