Print advertising in London

121 print spaces are listed in London today, starting at £320 per issue against a median of £1,290. That median sits about 32% above the United Kingdom figure for the same format, which is the single most useful number on this page: it tells you whether you are buying a premium market or a value one before you look at a single site.

The gap between the cheapest space here and the median is £970. That range is not noise — it is the difference between a site the owner is trying to fill and a site people ask for by name. Both are on this page, and the listed price is what a buyer pays: commission is charged to the owner, never added at checkout.

Prices on Admarket are the owner's own, published in GBP and settled in GBP. Where your preferred currency differs you will see an approximate conversion for orientation, but the booking is always taken in the currency the space is listed in.

London splits between the arterial roads into the centre — the A40, A13 and North Circular — and the indoor screen networks across the West End, Westfield and the City. Sites here carry the highest audience figures on Admarket and the longest lead times.

Owners here list most often in Shoreditch, Westminster, Camden and Canary Wharf, with further sites across Shepherd's Bush, King's Cross and Croydon. Those are the district names buyers use when they brief, and the ones worth filtering by — a citywide search returns everything, but a campaign almost always has a catchment in mind.

This format accounts for 9% of the 1,284 advertising spaces listed in London across every format. If the number looks small, the other formats on this page are worth a look before you settle — the same audience is often reachable more cheaply in a different medium, and the city page lists them all.

Most print campaigns in London run 1 issue. Owners price whole cycles because the work of posting, installing or scheduling costs the same whether the creative stays up for one week or four, which is why a fortnight is rarely twice the price of a week.

Booking runs the same way on every space here. Payment is held from the moment you book and released only after the owner submits proof of delivery and you approve it — dated photography for physical formats, play-out or transmission logs for the ones a machine can evidence. If the campaign does not run as booked, the money comes back.

Every space on this page is listed by the company that owns or operates it. There is no agency between you and the site, which changes two practical things: the price you see is the owner's price rather than a rate card marked up for resale, and the person answering your question is the person who will physically deliver the campaign.

Spaces are sold four ways, and each listing says which. Book now takes the listed price for your dates immediately. Send offer lets you propose a figure and a run. Request quote is for spaces the owner prices per campaign. Sealed bids close on a deadline and go to the highest offer. Nothing is charged until a booking is confirmed.

If a campaign needs more than one site, the map view lets you select several spaces across London and book them as one order, with a single payment held against the whole run.
