Income distribution data for London

You asked

I am writing to request data on income distribution for the London area. More specifically, please provide data that shows the number of households in London at specific income bands, say £10,000, over a time from 2005 to the most current data possible.

Thank you for your request for data on the income distribution for the London area.

We do not produce data that shows the number of households in London at specific income bands over time.

As an alternative you may be interested in the following datasets:

The Households Below Average Income team at the Department of Work and Pensions may be able to provide the distributional information you require.
