London has climbed two places in the rankings of the top cities to conduct business despite the uncertainty caused by the vote to leave the European Union, according to new research.

London ranked joint-third with Hong Kong in the list of best cities to do business in, up from fifth place four years ago, Ipsos Mori’s Top Cities survey has found.

The survey, which was conducted across 26 countries worldwide, was topped by New York, with Abu Dhabi in second place.

Ipsos said the results would “reassure” leaders in London about the city’s status as a hub for business, which has come under threat following the Brexit vote.
