The main aims of the research project were to computerise all the surviving records of the New Survey of London Life and Labour (1929-31), and to begin economic analysis of the data obtained. The specific objectives were:
1. To input the data in a manner which would preserve virtually all the information presented on the cards, and to ensure that the machine readable records replicate that information as faithfully as possible.
2. To organise the data in the form of a relational database
3. To check the data against the original cards, to code some of the variables (e.g. labour market status), and to correct inconsistencies in the original records.
4. To undertake separate coding sub-projects for occupations, birthplaces and street quality.
5. To document the results obtained in the form of a codebook and a companion paper to explain the methods employed in the computerisation.

An earlier project was carried out in the USA in 1983-1986, based on the same data, involved computerisation of a 10% sample of the original source, plus a 50% sample of the households containing at least one unemployed person. That study is available from ICPSR - see New Survey of London Life and Labor, 1929-1931. Apart from the fact that they are both based on the same data source, there is no other connection between the two projects.

Throughout 2012/13 the GLA carried out a programme of research to explore the impact that the London 2012 Games and the work of the GLA has had on the opinions, behaviour and attitudes of Londoners and visitors to London.

This page is where you can find the results from all of the GLA’s Gamestime research.

This page hosts the results of analysis carried out by the Greater London Authority of English Housing Survey microdata, including figures that have been referred to in Mayoral press releases.

This dataset contains the topline results from the Annual London Surveys undertaken between 2000 and 2011 (there was no survey was 2008). Responses for these surveys were collected by conducting approximately 1,400 face-to-face interviews (exact numbers vary year on year) in respondents’ homes. From 2014 onwards the Annual London Survey has been delivered by Talk London, City Hall’s online research community. The results for these surveys can be found by clicking the links below. Due to the significant changes in methodology and sampling framework it is not recommended that the latest results are compared directly with the pre-2014 figures.

This survey was commissioned by the GLA and undertaken by Taylor Nelson Sofres. Over 8,150 interviews were achieved, sufficient for detailed data analysis at London city level and less detailed analysis at 'groups of boroughs' level.

No specific report of findings has been written, because the survey is intended primarily to support policy development, including the linkages between multiple aspects of needs. The data have so far been used by a wide range of GLA policy teams, government research analysts, and academics. The survey has also formed the basis for follow-up interview surveys (based on the 75%+ of respondents who gave permission at the end of the main interview), on topics such as access to e-governance.

Main Topics:

The survey covered a wide range of policy areas in moderate detail – household and personal characteristics (including income and savings), employment, transport, crime, health, disability, housing needs, moving intentions and history, use of the internet and access to standard lifestyle commodities.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of London by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for London. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of London by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in London. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for London.

Key observations

Largest age group (population): Male # 50-54 years (459) | Female # 40-44 years (500). Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates.

The Mayor of London has placed a high priority on improving social integration, equality, diversity and inclusion, economic fairness and food security across the city. Recognising the need for better evidence in these areas to ensure that policy and programmes have maximum impact, the GLA conducted the Survey of Londoners in 2018-19, an online and paper self-completion survey of adults aged 16 and over in London. The Survey, which received responses from 6,601 Londoners, aims to fill evidence gaps and help improve analysis and policy making in these areas. It uses questions that allow for comparison with existing London and national data, and has a larger sample size than regular opinion polling. This offers a more accurate picture of society in London and allows for detailed and robust analysis of sub-groups within London’s population. This initial report provides descriptive results for the key headline measures and supporting demographic data collected by the Survey. Accompanying this report are more detailed tables documenting the key results of the survey by a range of demographic and other characteristics, and a short summary document presenting key findings from the survey. The record-level Survey of Londoners dataset can be accessed via the UK Data Service, University of Essex. The dataset is available for not-for-profit educational and research purposes only. The GLA has completed work on a second survey of Londoners, conducted in 2021-22. The findings from that survey can be accessed from this link.

In 2018-19 the GLA first undertook a Survey of Londoners. At the time it provided vital evidence on Londoners that had never been collected before in such detail. In 2021-22, the GLA conducted another Survey of Londoners, following the same methodology as the Survey of Londoners 2018-19, an online and paper self-completion survey of adults aged 16 and over in London. The survey, which received responses from 8,630 Londoners, aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 and associated restrictions on key social outcomes for Londoners, not available from other data sources. It is important to understand the context in which the Survey of Londoners 2021-22 took place. Survey fieldwork began in November 2021; so, up to that point, it had been four months since most legal limits on social contact had been removed. However, after fieldwork had started, some restrictions due to the emergence of the Omicron variant were introduced. This may or may not have had some effect on the data. Given these changing circumstances, caution should be applied when interpreting the results. The Survey of Londoners 2021-22 also took place just before the full effects of the cost-of-living crisis began to set in. It is highly likely that the situations of Londoners have changed while analysis was taking place. On this page there is a headline findings report, published on 30 September 2022, which provides descriptive results for the key headline measures and supporting demographic data collected by the survey. Accompanying this report are more detailed tables documenting the key results of the survey by a range of demographic and other characteristics, a short summary document presenting key findings from the survey, and a technical report for those interested in the survey’s methodology. Further to these, a series of pen portraits, providing snapshots of particular groups of Londoners, as captured at the time of the Survey of Londoners 2021-22, were first added on 31 October 2022. Also on this page, there is an initial findings report, that was published on 2 September 2022. This was published to provide timely evidence from the survey to support the case for further targeted support to help low-income Londoners with the cost-of-living crisis. We have launched an online explorer where users can interrogate the data collected from the two surveys, conducted in 2018-19 and 2021-22. This is the first iteration, so we welcome any feedback on it - GO TO THE EXPLORER The record-level Survey of Londoners dataset can be accessed via the UK Data Service, University of Essex. The dataset is available for not-for-profit educational and research purposes only. Finally, as the North East London (NEL) NHS funded a 'boost' in their sub-region to enable a more detailed analysis to be conducted within, they produced an analytical report in September 2022. This is also available for download from this page.

In November 2014, 3,674 Londoners took part in the first London Survey run by Talk London, to tell us what they thought of the city and their neighbourhood.

The London Survey enables us to:

• Assess Londoners’ priorities across the breadth of Mayoral responsibilities

• Understand Londoners’ perceptions of their quality of life

• Identify those areas that require improvement, or where we need to improve outcomes for particular groups of people.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Results are based on interviews with 3,674 London residents aged 18+.

• Interviews were carried out online via the Talk London community between 3 Oct and 5 Nov.

• Interviews were not randomly sampled, but self-selecting via a number of known databases. This achieved a non-representative sample of Londoners.

• The data has been weighted by age, gender and ethnicity to reflect that of the London population.

• A minimum number of responses were achieved for each key demographic group to maintain a robust sample.

• Where results do not sum to 100% this may be due to multiple responses, computer rounding or the exclusion of don’t knows/not stated.

• The qualitative analysis of the open-ended questions 36, 37 and 38 was undertaken by SPA Future Thinking. Top level themes and sub themes are reported as a percentage of the overall base number of respondents (3,421 to all three questions). The top three sub themes are presented where available.

• This is the first London Survey conducted by Talk London for City Hall.

The Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) and the MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing (LHA) have carried out two online surveys of the participants of five national longitudinal cohort studies which have collected insights into the lives of study participants including their physical and mental health and wellbeing, family and relationships, education, work, and finances during the coronavirus pandemic. The Wave 1 Survey was carried out at the height of lockdown restrictions in May 2020 and focussed mainly on how participants’ lives had changed from just before the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020 until then. The Wave 2 survey was conducted in September/October 2020 and focussed on the period between the easing of restrictions in June through the summer into the autumn. A third wave of the survey was conducted in early 2021.

In addition, CLS study members who had participated in any of the three COVID-19 Surveys were invited to provide a finger-prick blood sample to be analysed for COVID-19 antibodies. Those who agreed were sent a blood sample collection kit and were asked to post back the sample to a laboratory for analysis. The antibody test results and initial short survey responses are included in a single dataset, the COVID-19 Antibody Testing in the National Child Development Study, 1970 British Cohort Study, Next Steps and Millennium Cohort Study, 2021 (SN 8823).

The CLS studies are:

• Millennium Cohort Study (born 2000-02) both cohort members and parents (MCS)
• Next Steps (born 1989-90) (NS)
• 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70)
• 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS).

The LHA study is:

• MRC National Survey of Health and Development, 1946 British birth cohort (NSHD)

The content of the MCS, NS, BCS70 and NCDS COVID-19 studies, including questions, topics and variables can be explored via the CLOSER Discovery website.

The COVID-19 Survey in Five National Longitudinal Cohort Studies: Millennium Cohort Study, Next Steps, 1970 British Cohort Study and 1958 National Child Development Study, 2020-2021 contains the data from waves 1, 2 and 3 for the 4 cohort studies. The data from all four CLS cohorts are included in the same dataset, one for each wave.

The COVID-19 Survey data for the 1946 birth cohort study (NSHD) run by the LHA is held under "https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/studies/study?id=8732" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">SN 8732 and available under Special Licence access conditions.

Latest edition information
For the fourth edition (June 2022), the following minor corrections have been made to the wave 3 data:

• corrections to a small number of cases where CW3_GROW and CW3_GROWB were incorrectly calculated
• recoded values and reformatted the code list for CW3_COVIDVAC as the original value of 3 was removed from the final version of the survey

Results of online survey by London Assembly Transport Committee of 1,297 users of the cycle hire scheme and cycle superhighways undertaken over September to October 2010. The survey was self-selecting and as such is not intended to be representative of all users.

The anonymised survey response data is provided in CSV format, along with a list of the questions that were asked and a summary of responses for each question.

Sample items of research variables.

• to provide annual data about the nation’s health;
• to estimate the proportion of people in England with specified health conditions;
• to estimate the prevalence of certain risk factors associated with these conditions;
• to examine differences between population subgroups in their likelihood of having specific conditions or risk factors;
• to assess the frequency with which particular combinations of risk factors are found, and which groups these combinations most commonly occur;
• to monitor progress towards selected health targets
• since 1995, to measure the height of children at different ages, replacing the National Study of Health and Growth;
• since 1995, monitor the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children.

The survey includes a number of core questions every year but also focuses on different health issues at each wave. Topics are revisited at appropriate intervals in order to monitor change.

Changes to the HSE from 2015:
Users should note that from 2015 survey onwards, only the individual data file is available. The household data file is no longer released for analysis. In addition, users may see other changes; for example only grouped age is now available instead of single year of age. NHS Digital have issued the following statement on changes to the HSE from 2015:

"NHS Digital has recently reviewed how we manage access to survey datasets. In doing this we have sought to strike a balance between protecting the privacy of individuals and enabling maximum use of these valuable, publicly funded data collections. We have thoroughly reviewed our disclosure control measures, including taking advice from experts at the Office of National Statistics. The result is that additional disclosure control measures have been applied to the 2015 survey [onwards] to enable a suitable dataset to be made available through the UK Data Service via end user licence. This involved providing less detail on some aspects, such as geographical classifications, ethnicity and household relationships. To provide greater protection of the answers of children and adults within households it is not possible to identify people within the same household on this dataset, however parent/guardian derived variables appended to their children (if they have any) have been added to enable some intra‐household analysis.”

It is hoped that a second dataset with more detail including family and household relationships will be made available via Special Licence. In the meantime, researchers who want to do analysis of health and behaviours within families or households, and the derived intra-household variables do not meet your needs, are advised to register their interest for a more detailed dataset with NatCen Social Research and provide information about their proposed research and which data they want.

For the third edition (December 2019), corrections have been made for two equivalised income derived variables (Eqv3 and Eqv5); in the previous editions the number of cases coded to -1 was incorrectly higher than normal, and some cases have been coded with the wrong score.
