United Kingdom
The national picture: every region, market and practice across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, in one place.
Knowledge
Working across the UK.
The UK is one of the world’s most concentrated architecture markets. London holds the largest share of practices and projects, but the regional cities run deep markets of their own, and many careers move between the two over time.
One professional framework covers the whole country: the ARB protects the title architect everywhere in the UK, and the Part I, II and III route works the same way from Cornwall to the Highlands. What changes by region is the market: sector mix, salaries, fees and pace.
This hub gathers the UK-wide picture: who is hiring, which practices are growing, and the conversations shaping the national market right now.

- Pay is regional
Salaries and fees vary widely by region, which is why our salary guide breaks the market down.
