Disposable incomes
Interesting figures from Resolution Foundation showing London as the only region where disposable income growth has been positive between 2003 and 2008.
SERC research on nominal wages suggests a lot of this will be compositional (i.e. driven by the fact that professional/managerial workers have done OK and that they are concentrated in London) but the spatial differences still quite striking.
