North LondonNorth London contains a small proportion of the city’s industry, but many graduates choose to live here because of the relatively low rent prices and easy commutability.

There are several local graduate employers, particularly in finance and social work, such as Barnet Council. It is easy to commute outside London, so Watford-based graduate recruiter Camelot is a popular choice, as are airlines, such as Easyjet who operate from Luton and Stansted.

The retail industry is also significant, and many companies such as Marks & Spencer run highly regarded graduate recruitment schemes throughout London. London Zoo may employ researchers and offers ongoing work experience opportunities.
