Londology A curious atlas of London

A curious atlas of London

Original analyses of open data about London, with the working shown. Every number here traces to a cited dataset, every chart carries the table behind it, and every claim says how certain it is.

Written by one person, published when a piece is ready rather than on a schedule. How this is made.

  • Every number on this page is invented

    A sample piece that exercises every component in the design system, built from a formula rather than from data, so that nothing here can be mistaken for a finding about London.
