About

Londology is written by Slav — a London-based data analyst who kept finding odd datasets about the city and needed somewhere to put them.

The site exists because London's open data is unusually rich and unusually badly read. Most of it is published as a spreadsheet and left there. Some of it answers questions people actually ask each other on the top deck of a bus: how hot does the Central line really get, which laws on the books are genuinely absurd, where in the city do phones disappear. I like those questions, and I like the part where you have to be careful with the answer.

Every piece is built from public data, with the pipeline that produced it kept alongside the prose. Analyses are AI-assisted and human-judged: the questions, the caveats and the decisions about what the data cannot support are mine. Methods explains how that works, including the confidence marks that appear next to claims.

Contact

Not decided yet. Which address this page publishes is an open question — ISSUES #003. It is a decision about a real person's inbox, so it waits for that person rather than being made here.

Reuse

Text and charts are free to reuse with credit. The datasets underneath keep their own licences, which are named on each piece and quoted in full in its Behind-the-data block. Photographs are CC BY 4.0 with EXIF stripped; the credit line they carry is still open — ISSUES #002.
