London Cultural Infrastructure Map 2024-2025 with Contextual Data

London's first Cultural Infrastructure Map plots the location of cultural facilities and assets. Data sets were collected from summer 2024 to summer 2025 and published by the Greater London Authority (GLA) in 2024 and 2025. The map enables viewing this infrastructure alongside contextual data to inform policy and investment decisions.

Use Cases

• Spatial analysis of cultural facility distribution based on the plotted infrastructure locations.
• Informing cultural policy and investment decisions based on the contextual data layers.
• Community planning and advocacy using the snapshot audit of cultural assets.
• Historical comparison of cultural infrastructure by accessing previous audit data via the provided link.

Strengths

• First consolidated map of London's cultural infrastructure, bringing together previously disparate information.
• Data collection period is specified as summer 2024 to summer 2025.
• Based on Ordnance Survey mapping data, which suggests a standardized geospatial foundation.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The GLA explicitly states it cannot be held responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of the third-party information and data used.
