In 2024, total private equity investment in London increased by 10.5% to £78.1 billion, reflecting a more stable economic climate in the UK amid falling interest rates and inflation. Despite a slight decrease in deal volume from 757 to 753 transactions, the average deal value improved, making London a significant hub, accounting for 49.1% of UK private equity backing. KPMG forecasts continued growth, buoyed by potential interest rate cuts in 2025 and steady investor interest across sectors.
London remains a global leader for private equity investment, representing nearly half of the UK's total PE backing. With deal volumes remaining strong, the capital continues to attract significant interest, highlighted by numerous multi-billion-pound investments.
The 2024 data shows that deal activity may have bottomed out, indicating a potential upward trajectory for the private equity market, supported by recent macroeconomic improvements.
