St. Helen's, Kensington and Chelsea: Jobs
Jobs
Working from home is the norm here — over half of residents do it. The neighbourhood has a mixed but largely white-collar workforce, with retail, professional services, and health as the biggest employment sectors.
Retail and wholesale employs the most people, followed closely by professional and scientific roles. Health and social work, information and communication, and financial services are all well represented. This spread means the local economy is resilient and doesn't depend too heavily on any single industry.
For those who do commute, the Underground is the most popular choice. A notable number of people walk to work, which suggests jobs are reasonably close by.
The high rate of home working will shape demand for local cafés, co-working spaces, and daytime amenities in the coming years.
