Indians are among the biggest spenders while holidaying in London, tourism data released by the city mayor's office has shown. As many as 213,000 Indians visiting London over nine months from January to September 2014 spent £172 million. India is ranked 17th in terms of countries for the number of visitors to London during the first three quarters of 2014, seventh for number of nights spent in the capital and 16th for the amount of money spend.

In the 12 months to September 2012, Indian visitors spent £159 million in London alone. But this saw a 40% rise to £220 million in just one year to Sept 2013.
