Cultural Infrastructure Map
The Mayor has developed London’s first Cultural Infrastructure Map, it brings together new research and information that has previously not existed in one place. It plots the location of cultural infrastructure and enables the user to view it alongside useful contextual data, like transport networks and population growth.
The scale of London's cultural infrastructure means that it is ever changing and evolving and some is difficult to locate. The map provides the best snapshot of information that we have gathered to date and it will continue to evolve, adding new categories and information as it becomes available and as Londoners and organisations add missing cultural infrastructure to it, or inform us about closures.
How you can use the map

Some questions you can ask when you view the data
- do you have clusters of activity that you were previously unaware of?
- are there unexpected types of cultural infrastructure in your borough?
- could you build on this by adding key infrastructure to a cluster?
- are there types of infrastructure that you don’t have in your borough?
