Hmm, taking Doctor John's figures of 30x50km and assuming London to be 
rectangular, let's call it an even 1500 km2. An overestimation, but it's 
the right order of magnitude. That's about 1.2% of England alone 
according to Wikipedia, and barely 0.6% of the UK as a whole...

That's interesting, I've never had cause to work it out before and it's 
actually bigger than I imagined.

I couldn't comment on the proportion of the IT sector that resides 
there, however. :-)
