You asked

I am hoping to get data from the last 5 years of the Longitudinal Small Business Survey split into London sub regions: North, East, South, West and Central. Is this possible using postcodes?

The data I'm trying to collect covers the following questions:

A18. How many, if any, of your directors and partners are women?

A19. How many, if any, of your directors and partners are from an ethnic group?

A20. Which ethnic groups do the owners, partners or directors belong to?

A21. Is more than 50% of the business owned by women?

A22. Ethnic group of sole owner.

Whether business is women-led.

Proportion of owners/directors that are women.

Whether business is MEG-led.

​Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately, we do not hold the requested information. The Longitudinal Small Business Survey is run by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and therefore, they would be better placed to assist with your query.
