The report was the second of four updates to Creativity: London’s Core Business which produced the first measurements, and a time-series, for employment and GVA in London’s Creative Industries. Like that report, it applied the methodology of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) who, in their 1999 and 2000 Mapping documents, established one of the earliest systematic methodologies for defining and measuring the creative industries.
