What surprises me is that there is a factory anywhere in London let

I thought that London as a 100% service industry sector. I suppose it
could be a warehouse for all those Far East imports.

There are numerous food factories in Park Royal.
Kodak has a huge factory in Wealdstone.

And I'm currently working with a company that has a large food factory
within Greater London.

Less anecdotally, according to the EEF trade organisation[*], 15,000
manufacturing companies employ 260,000 people within Greater London,
generating £15bn of value-add.
