Welcome to Colouring London!

We collect and provide open data about buildings.

Colouring London is a knowledge exchange platform set up by University College London. It provides open statistical data about the city's buildings and the dynamic behaviour of the stock. We're working to collate, collect, generate, and verify over fifty types of data and to visualise many of these datasets.

Our information comes from many different sources. As we are unable to vouch for data accuracy, we are experimenting with how to present data sources, how data are edited over time, and how to ask for data verification, to help you to check reliability and judge how suitable the data are for your intended use. Your help in checking and adding data is very much appreciated.

All data we collect are made openly available. We ask you to credit Colouring London and read our data ethics policy when using or sharing our data, maps or code.
