What Landvex monitors in London

Four continuous intelligence streams, updated from field observations and cross-referenced against official sources.

Commercial Vitality Score

Measures vacancy rates, business openings and closures, foot traffic signals, and commercial activity across each London district. Updated continuously from field observations.

Infrastructure Risk Index

Identifies infrastructure degradation, transport disruptions, and maintenance backlogs that affect business continuity and investment risk across London’s districts and the TfL network.

Development Forecast

Tracks planning applications, construction activity, and development signals. Identifies emerging opportunities and area trajectories before they appear in official statistics or market reports.

Growth Velocity

How fast is each district changing? Landvex Growth Velocity captures the rate of transformation — identifying which London areas are accelerating, plateauing, or in structural decline.

Contradiction Engine

Most systems tell you what the data says.
Landvex tells you what doesn’t add up.

When official market statistics diverge from observed commercial activity, Landvex surfaces the conflict — not just the consensus.
