D

Keyless London active-travel data: walking and cycling trip shares by local authority on the 2010/11 and 2017/18 surveys, plus TFL's daily bicycle-hire series (Sycamore) with per-year totals and the busiest day.

6 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Two official London active-travel datasets — keyless, straight from the London open-data platform (data.london.gov.uk).

What you can do

  • active_travel_rates / active_travel_lookup / active_travel_ranking — the walking and cycling shares of trips by local authority on the 2010/11 and 2017/18 Active Travel surveys, at the 5x-, 20x- and 40x-per-week frequencies: the full paged series, one authority's history, and the ranking of authorities on one year (city-wide aggregate rows excluded)
  • bicycle_hires_daily / bicycle_hires_by_year — TFL's daily bicycle-hire counts: the day series bounded by ISO dates, and per-year totals with the busiest day of each year
  • active_travel_overview — both datasets in one call: the 2017/18 5x-per-week authority averages plus the hire totals, first/last hire day and the busiest day overall

Who is this for

Mobility planners, urban journalists and researchers comparing a borough's active-travel uptake over time or benchmarking hire demand by year. Years are stored as Excel serials in the source files and mapped to financial-year labels (2010/11, 2017/18) by the tools; the hire dates are real calendar days, so filter with ordinary ISO dates.

What share of Newham trips are by bicycle in 2017/18?

Call active_travel_lookup with la "Newham" — the series across the survey years comes back with the walking and cycling shares at each frequency; read the 2017/18 row at 5x per week.

Which day had the most bicycle hires?

Run bicycle_hires_by_year — every year block carries its total and its busiest day; the latest block's busiest day is the answer for the most recent year.

Compare cycling uptake across London boroughs.

Call active_travel_ranking — the top side lists the boroughs with the highest cycling share and the bottom side the lowest, both at the 2017/18 5x-per-week slice by default.

No. data.london.gov.uk publishes every dataset as an anonymous file download (CSV or Excel). This MCP defines no credentials and needs nothing configured.
