Gross bookings per London ward listing averaged KES 516,193 over the 12 months to April 2025 (Nakuru average: KES 1,098,897), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average London ward listing brought in KES 231,000 in May, its best month, and KES 34,500 in December, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 45% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
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.

Permits
None of the 34 active listings in London ward display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in London ward.

Top earners
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. Leaving it out, the top earner in London ward, a five-bedroom home, took in KES 1,180,000 over the past year, about 2.3 times the city's average of KES 516,000. Three of the five listings below have two bedrooms or fewer, so size alone doesn't explain the top of this market.
