Our open data

We recommend you use our improved Unified API to access live feeds.

These guidelines include technical information to help you understand how our open data works and how to use it correctly. They also provide information on data refresh rates and how to brand the data. Using our data is subject to our terms and conditions.

The example data listed below are not updated and are for demonstration purposes only. You will need to register to gain access to the live feeds.

Air quality

The London Air API (from Kings College London) gives up-to-date information on air quality in London over a limited number of locations.

The London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory provides emissions and concentrations estimates across London.

It provides excellent coverage across London (pollutant concentration estimated every 20m) and is a static dataset representing a specific year (and future year estimates). A new version is soon to be released.

Note: Data last updated in October 2019

This data (available under the Journey Times section) shows journey times from Greenwich to Bow through Blackwall Tunnel on a busy weekday and weekend. The journey times come from calculating the time to travel between two locations in heavy traffic conditions. We use anonymised records from TfL's Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras to calculate these journey times.

You can use this data to see the busiest times on our network and create products for planning quicker and more reliable journeys. The data was updated in July 2017 and is available in .xls file format.

This data set includes the geographic boundary of the Greater London Authority road network for which Transport for London is the Highway Authority.

Sections 14C of the 1980 Highways Act requires TfL to maintain a record of the roads for which it is the Highway Authority. The dataset(s) published here are TfL's record in map form. The boundaries are for visualisations at scale of 1:1250.

How often we publish a fresh copy of the feed
We will update this data file monthly, in line with our latest expectations and calibrated traffic modelling of the impact of construction work.

Some ideas

  • Check whether sites you deliver to are impacted, and at what times of day
  • Consider retiming your deliveries or trips so they are at quieter times of day

Our live traffic camera images feed ('Jam Cams') gives you a bird's eye view of what's happening on London's streets. It provides images from over 700 cameras across the capital, providing an up-to-date view of traffic at key locations.

All images are TfL branded, telling users they're from an official source. The images are date and time stamped and refreshed every three minutes - sometimes more often.

All images have a location description. Individual feeds may be interrupted if there's a system fault or if we're servicing a camera.

Note that images are not captured when a camera is in use for managing traffic, when a camera is being maintained or in the event of a camera or system fault.

If a new camera is added as a Jam Cam, or a camera is removed, it will vanish from the XML feed. As such, it is advised that developers periodically parse this XML, since it may change.

Cycling

London's Cycling Infrastructure Database (CID) covers all of Greater London and includes the following assets:

  • Cycle lanes and tracks
  • Cycle parking
  • Signalised crossings for cycles
  • Restricted routes - Modal filters and traffic gates which allow cycles to pass but restrict car traffic
  • Traffic calming, including the location of all speed humps
  • Advanced stop lines - boxes at junctions for people cycling
  • Signals - early-release signals at junctions
  • Signage - Signed cycle routes and other wayfinding
  • Restricted Points - points where people cycling will have to dismount
  • Paths through parks and other green spaces that can, and cannot, be cycled on

Access the full data set and schema under CycleInfrastructure/Data and CycleInfrastructure/Documentation. Find out more about this data on our Digital Blog.

These London-wide maps are available on our open data page and make the Strategic Cycling Analysis more accessible:

  • Current and Future cycle network
  • Permeable Neighbourhoods

The maps split London into a grid made up of 8km squares, so there are 36 versions of each map above. These files show the grid frame:

  • London 8km cycling quadrants Frame (pdf)
  • London 8km cycling quadrants Frame (kmz, Google Maps)

NB: If you are using this information for London planning applications, please use these maps instead of the old-style London Cycle Network maps which do not match the ambitions of the Mayor's Transport Strategy and Cycling Action Plan.

Monthly statistics on the number of cyclists on Superhighways CS3 and CS6 from the counters at Blackfriars Bridge and Victoria Embankment are available at http://cycling.data.tfl.gov.uk

The latest data for cycle routes in London is available under the "CycleRoutes/" folder. This dataset includes all open, in-progress and future (post-consultation) cycle routes in London and is available in JSON and KML format. The cycle routes data contains the following meta-data: route names, labels, status and programme. It is updated regularly to reflect the developing cycling network.

Walking

This data was used to develop the walking Tube map and is available as an xlsx file at walking.data.tfl.gov.uk.

The data defines the time it takes (in minutes) to walk between adjacent Tube, Overground and DLR stations on the same line and between adjacent National Rail stations all within Zones 1-3.

This data could be used to show that walking in London can often be the quickest way to get from A to B.

This data was sourced from Google Maps.

Due to the way in which the data was sourced, there may be some instances where the walking time differs from the time shown in TfL Journey Planner and the Unified API.

This data contains a selection of Central London walking journeys (that are not on the same Tube, DLR, London Overground or National Rail line) that could be quicker to walk. The data is available at walking.data.tfl.gov.uk.

The data contains details on the time it takes (in minutes) as well as the number of steps to walk between these destinations. A moderate walking pace has been used for all walking times, and an average of 100 steps per minute has been used to represent the approximate number of steps taken between journeys.

This data could be used to show that walking in London can often be the quickest way to get from A to B, especially when journeys require interchanges.

PTAL is a measure of Public Transport Access Level.

We allow users to download the same PTAL data that is used in our Web-based Connectivity Assessment Toolkit (WebCAT). (Any data that was previously available is superseded by the data provided currently, and should no longer be used.)

The use of this data, either through WebCAT or when downloaded from here, is subject to the WebCAT terms of use.

Information about the PTAL measure and the way it should be used is available from the Planning with WebCAT page. Download the 'Transport connectivity assessment guide' on that page for additional background, examples and other useful measures of connectivity to complement the work with PTAL.

The PTAL grid

PTAL values are provided for a grid of points at 100 meter intervals, covering the whole of London. The concept of presenting PTAL values for grid points is explained in detail in the guide on the Planning with WebCAT page.

The available PTAL data is provided in three files, one for a recent base year and two others for future scenarios in 2021 and 2031.

Format

Each of the files is in CSV format, containing the following data fields:

  • A unique identifier for each grid point
  • The X (Easting) coordinate, based on the British National Grid
  • The Y (Northing) coordinate, based on the British National Grid
  • The Access Index (AI) for the point (a calculated value from which we derive PTAL)
  • The Public Transport Access Level (PTAL)

The data can be imported into any standard GIS package using the X and Y coordinates.

NUMBAT is TfL's most comprehensive rail demand dataset and provides data on boarders/alighters or demand on trains and in stations. Data is available from 2016 and represents the London Underground, Overground, Elizabeth Line and DLR demand.

NUMBAT is for a typical day (by daytype) in the autumn of each year. Multiple data sources were combined to smooth any gaps and provide further information than otherwise available (such as lineloads). The data is adjusted to remove any abnormal circumstances and key events that may affect demand such as industrial action or short-term closures.

Year-on-year NUMBAT fluctuations do not necessarily reflect whole-year annual demand changes. If you are interested in annualised station entry/exit totals, see Annual Counts instead of NUMBAT - it is available on the same crowding data page.

NUMBAT outputs are all given by 15 minutes throughout the day, representing typical flows by daytype:

  • Link Load: Number of passengers on the train between two different consecutive stations on a line e.g. from Lambeth North to Waterloo on the Bakerloo line
  • Link frequency (supply): Number of scheduled trains per quarter hour between two consecutive stations
  • Station Boarders/Alighters: Number of passengers boarding or alighting at a specific platform in a specific station
  • Line Boarders: Total boarders across a rail line, derived from summing station boarders. This gives a better picture than Entry/Exits for the utilisation of a line as it includes interchangers
  • Station Flow: Number of passenger movements inside a station between its entrances and its different platforms. This includes boarding/alighting and interchange flows
  • Station Entries/Exits: number of passengers entering/exiting the station through its gatelines (see also Annual Counts)

TWT is the average of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so summing all of NUMBAT 5 day types together is different from a week's passenger counts.

RODS data is available on this site for 1996-2017. Please note this had a different methodology to NUMBAT.

Annual Counts present an annual picture of station entries and exits, used for trend analysis. Raw data is supplemented where there are gaps (such as ungated stations, or magnetic tickets not being picked up). The data is adjusted to remove any abnormal circumstances and key events that may affect demand such as industrial action or short-term closures.

Annual Counts are for a typical day (by daytype) in the autumn of each year. The outputs are all given by 15 minutes throughout the day, by timeband and are annualised using revenue data.

Dial-a-Ride is a free door-to-door service for disabled and older people who can't use buses, trains or the Tube. Those eligible for membership have a permanent or long-term disability which means they are unable or virtually unable to use mainstream public transport.

There are a number of figures provided:

  • The number of passengers registered to use the service
  • The number of requests made for the service within the period
  • The percentage of requests scheduled (accepted)
  • The percentage of trips cancelled by passengers
  • The percentage of trips cancelled owing to service (operational) reasons
  • The number of completed trips

This is a static file so you will need to come back to us for updates. Please specify the report date period when publishing the data.

  • Local authorities might wish to include the Dial-a-Ride performance figures for their borough on their websites

Notes

  1. Cancellations are shown as percentages of scheduled requests
  2. Passenger cancellations are where DaR has scheduled the trip but the passenger subsequently cancels, most commonly because of illness
  3. Others/unknown includes visitors to London and a small number of members living just outside the Greater London boundary with "grandparent rights"
  4. In Newham, Dial-a-Ride operates separately under the Door2Door service, a joint scheme with Taxicard
