Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Survey of Londoners (SoL) is commissioned by the Greater London Authority (GLA) and began in 2018-2019. It is a self-completion survey of adults aged 16 and over living in London.
In 2021-2022, the GLA conducted another Survey of Londoners. It followed the same methodology as the 2018-2019 survey: an online and paper self-completion survey of adults aged 16 and over in London. The survey, which received responses from 8,630 Londoners, aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 and associated restrictions on key social outcomes for Londoners, not available from other data sources. Further information can be found on the London Datastore website. End User Licence and Special Licence data Users should note that there are two versions of the Survey of Londoners, 2021-2022 dataset. One is available under the standard End User Licence (EUL) agreement and the other is a Special Licence (SL) version (this study). The SL version contains more detailed variables and neighbourhood-level geographic identifiers (see Main Topics section for details). The SL data have more restrictive access conditions than those made available under the standard EUL. Prospective users of the SL version will need to complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables in order to get permission to use that version. Therefore, users are strongly advised to order the standard version of the data. The standard EUL version of the Survey of Londoners, 2021-2022 dataset is held under SN 9043.
