I was offered a freelancer job and need to negotiate my day rate for producing online video content for a big organisation.
Any advice on standard video producer rates in London these days?
Many thanks in advance.

Only honest answer is "it depends". I'd suggest starting with a day rate you'd like and letting the client bargain you down. The spread will be pretty huge between contracts, lengths, sectors, etc.

Yep, as Paddy suggests; something between zero and £10,000 and even more. Once worked with a guy who made commercials with budgets of over one million pounds per minute. His day rate as a director was 'even more'.
