Welcome to Colouring London!

Colouring London is a free knowledge exchange platform designed to provide over fifty types of open data on London buildings, to help make the city more sustainable.

Colouring London is also the prototype for the Colouring Cities Research Programme (CCRP) based at the Alan Turing Institute (the UK's national Institute for data science and artificial intelligence). The programme works with local, regional, national and international partners to develop open platform code also of relevance to other cities.

New datasets and features are added all the time. Any help you can give, colouring-in our building maps, and enriching and verifying our open datasets is very much appreciated.

All our data and code are free to download, use and share under our open licence terms. Our open manual provides detailed non-technical information on the CCRP, and our international collaborators, for anyone interested in our research.
