Methodology
Live companies in the official monthly bulk snapshot are restricted by full registered-office postcode to London, then matched to ten transparent SIC-code groups. Select a sector to compare its distribution: colour is a 0–100 concentration index within that sector, while selecting a cell reports the exact registered-company count and its share of the mapped London sector total. A company can declare several SIC codes and can therefore appear in more than one sector. The cells are nearest-centroid tessellations, not Royal Mail boundaries. These are registered offices rather than workplaces, shops, employment or output; shared addresses can dominate a district.
