Methodology
Goods imports against exports through Heathrow, London and Tilbury, and London Gateway combined, monthly. A port-level trade gap is not a regional trade balance — goods landed at Heathrow are consumed everywhere — so read this as the flow through London rather than London's own account with the world.
