About London Datastore

The London Datastore is a free, open data-sharing portal for data about the capital. It offers over a thousand datasets for residents, business owners, researchers and developers to understand London and work on its problems. The site is run in connection with the Greater London Authority, and its homepage describes it as a trusted data resource that will remain in place as further tools are developed.

The site also points to a beta Data for London Library, launched in 2025, which provides links to thousands more datasets and a search across several London data sources, including some from boroughs and delivery partners. The homepage states that the number of datasets discoverable through the library is intended to grow over time. Other sections cover specific topics, including high streets, night-time activity, live development proposals and economic fairness indicators.
