Profit
Is an Airbnb in London ward Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average London ward Airbnb took in KES 516,193 in the 12 months to April 2025, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about KES 900,300, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about KES 55,300 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How London ward's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of London ward listings are booked on 37% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of KES 3,840 adds about KES 38,400 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge KES 6,495 a night or more, against a median of KES 3,840. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about KES 51,600 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about KES 231,000, against KES 34,500 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about KES 75,000 a month, against KES 43,000 for the average one.

The top-grossing listing, a one-bedroom unit at KES 121,910 a night (about 12 times the KES 10,500 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded.

Three of the five listings below have two bedrooms or fewer, so size alone doesn't explain the top of this market.
