Settore primario: l’agricoltura è di tipo intensivo e produce cereali, barbabietole da zucchero e patate. Molto sviluppato è l’allevamento, un’altra importante attività è la pesca.
Settore secondario: Nel corso del tempo l’industria si è molto trasformata: dalle industrie tessili e siderurgiche si è passati alle industrie più avanzate tecnologicamente, come l’elettronica. Grazie ai giacimenti del mare del Nord anche le regioni più povere, come la Scozia, hanno potuto svilupparsi.
Settore terziario: Oggi la maggior parte della popolazione ha un’occupazione nel settore terziario. Le attività finanziare, come banche ed assicurazioni, sono le più sviluppate ed hanno sede nella Città di Londra. Le vie di comunicazione sono efficienti e ben organizzate.
