2025 Salary Guide
We're often asked for advice on the average architect salary and salaries in architecture. Without addressing the specific case, it's difficult to give meaningful or helpful guidance (it's a bit like asking the price of a house without knowing the details or if there's an interested buyer on the day) but as a very rough guide to London area norms, and bearing in mind the vagaries of the market, here is our guide below.
If you would like a more in-depth conversation about your salary level, please forward your CV to info@9Bcareers.com or give us a call on +44 (0)20 8004 0369.
You may also like to view the results of our last Architectural Salary Survey (September/October 2024) which goes into far more detail including regional variations and the impact the size of practice makes on salaries.
