London Business Directory UK Email List: 169,000+ Companies

By Ibrahim DemolCEO IBLeadUpdated October 19, 2026

IBLead holds 169,200+ business listings in London, taken from Google Maps. 85% of them have a phone number, 78% list a website and 44% have an email address that we found on the company's own website. Data collected March 2026.

London is by far the largest city in our UK data: 169,200+ of the 1,849,500+ UK listings carry London as their city. Manchester (43,500+) and Glasgow (41,400+) come next.

You can search these listings by city, postal code and Google Maps category, see how many match before you spend anything, and export the result as a CSV file.

Contact data coverage

Field Listings Share of listings
Phone number143,400+85%
Website131,600+78%
Email address (found on the company website)74,100+44%

Emails only exist where the company publishes one on its website, which is why the email share is lower than the phone share. Filter on "has email" before exporting if email is your only channel.

How to export a London business list

  1. Create a free account. You get 200 credits and no card is needed.
  2. Select United Kingdom, then pick London in the city filter. To target part of London, paste postcode prefixes such as EC1, SW11 or NW3 instead.
  3. Pick one or more categories, then narrow with filters: Google rating, number of reviews, and whether a phone number, website or email is present.
  4. Check the number of matching businesses, then export the list to CSV for your CRM or email tool.

UK rules for B2B email and calls

Under PECR, you can email corporate subscribers (limited companies, LLPs, public bodies) without prior consent, as long as you say who you are and give an easy way to opt out. Sole traders and some partnerships count as individual subscribers and need prior consent for marketing emails. UK GDPR still applies to named contacts at a company: record your legitimate-interest assessment and act on objections. Screen phone numbers against the TPS and the Corporate TPS before calling. This is general information, not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

How many businesses are in the London business directory?

169,200+ listings with London as their city, from Google Maps. Data collected March 2026.

How many London businesses have an email address?

74,100+ listings (44%). Emails come from the company's own website, so businesses without a site or without a published address have none. Use the "has email" filter to export only those that do.

Can I target one London borough or postcode area?

Yes. Paste postcode prefixes (for example EC1 or SW11) instead of using the city filter.

Limited companies, LLPs and public bodies can be emailed without prior consent under PECR if you identify yourself and offer an opt-out. Sole traders and some partnerships need prior consent. See the rules section above.
