Previously Londoner for ~8 years here. I can confirm the six month unfilled position period has been going on for at least a few years now.
If anything else, and at least on the high(ish) end of skill and seniority there's an artificial reverse bubble that I can only attribute to the almost pathological and almost allergic insistence of UK employers to have as few well paid employees as possible.
