A shapefile containing the postcode areas supplied by secondary substations. The dataset is generalised using our GIS customer connectivity model.

The data available to download here shows gross jobs by job type, programme and policy area. Please note the report was amended on...

The GLA has conducted an analysis of the metrics accompanying the DLUHC White Paper on Levelling Up. Levelling up will not be achieved by levelling down because London has deep economic links with the rest of the UK. There should be separate missions and metrics on improving productivity and tackling disadvantage. This would allow a clearer focus on poverty alleviation. Strategy and policy development,...

This work looks at the spiralling cost of living and the challenges facing Londoners including the rising poverty levels in the capital. The latest update is dated August 2022.

The report includes interviews with...
