A poll carried out by ComRes on behalf of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) shows that 83 per cent of firms believe the disorder has damaged the capital's reputation as a place to do business.
More than a quarter (27 per cent) of those questioned said they had considered closing early to protect both their premises and staff from the riots.
Furthermore, 26 per cent revealed they had increased security at their business premises.
Colin Stanbridge, chief executive of the LCCI, said: "At a time when the capital's businesses should be focusing on growth and job creation, the riots have prevented them from going about their day-to-day business."
He emphasised that with the Olympics now less than a year away, much of the world's attention is now on London for the wrong reasons.
