British radio is made up of national, regional and local radio stations, so direct comparison in many cities across the UK is difficult. However, London is unique in that it has a lot of local and national radio stations which are measured across the same London transmission area.
Here, then, are London's most popular radio stations, in terms of total listeners within London. (Note that the national radio stations have considerably more listeners across the whole of the UK - you'll find all the UK-wide listening figures in their directory entries).
