Catchment Data Explorer: Water Body Status Classification

This data can be accessed from the Catchment Data Explorer: https://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning. 

The current health of the water environment is assessed in terms of its status. Surface waters are assessed for ecological status or potential and chemical status. Groundwaters are assessed for quantitative status and chemical status.

A range of quality elements are assessed in each water body. For a water body to achieve good status, every element assessed must be at good status or better. If one element is below its threshold for good status, then the water body’s status is classed as less than good.

Ecological status can be classed as high, good, moderate, poor, or bad.
Surface water chemical status can be classed as good or fail.

Since the current plans were published in 2016 the approach to chemical status classification has changed. A more advanced and sophisticated approach to classifying the chemical status of English water bodies is being used. This helps to more accurately reflect the accumulation of some of the more persistent substances which can be underestimated by monitoring water alone.

Groundwater quantitative and chemical status can be classed as good or poor.

London Health Inequalities Strategy Indicators

The Mayors Health Inequalities Strategy sets out his plans to tackle unfair differences in health to make London a healthier, fairer city. This dataset reports the 14 headline population health indicators that will be used to monitor London’s progress in reducing health inequalities over the next ten years. The themes of the indicators are listed below. The measures will monitor an identified inequality gap between defined populations. Healthy life expectancy at birth – male Healthy life expectancy at birth – female Children born with low birth weight School readiness among children Excess weight in children at age 5-6 (reception) and 10-11 (year 6) Excess mortality in adults with serious mental illness Suicide Mortality caused by Particulate Matter (PM2.5) Employment Feeling of belonging to a community (provisional) HIV late diagnosis People diagnosed with TB Adults walking or cycling for two periods of ten minutes each day* Smoking** Changes in February 2026 update:* The usual indicator of ‘adults walking or cycling for two periods of ten minutes each day’ metric used is no longer available. This has been replaced with the new metric above for which there is consistent data available from 2015/16 to 2022/23.** The usual inequality indicator of smoking prevalence in routine/manual workers compared to managerial/professional workers aged 18+ is currently not available. For this reason, this socioeconomic data has been removed from 2020 but may be re-instated at a later date if the data is made available. A replacement indicator on smoking prevalence in routine/manual workers (aged 18-64 years) has been used instead as a comparison with all smokers (aged 18 plus years). However, these metrics are not directly comparable as they cover different age ranges.

GCSE Results by Borough

Data on GCSE and equivalent entries and achievments at the end of Key Stage 4 by gender and location of school/educational institution.This dataset contains data on GCSE results using the 1-9 grading system. This system has replaced the old A*-G grading system. The two main indicators are Attainment 8 and Progress 8, these are explained below. Attainment 8 - This indicator measures pupils' average grade across eight subjects. These are: English & Mathematics Three other English Baccalaureate (EBacc) subjects (sciences, computer science, geography, history and languages) Three further subjects, which can be from the range of EBacc subjects, or can be any other GCSE or approved, high-value arts, academic, or vocational qualification. Progress 8 - This indicator measures pupils' progress between Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4 across the above 8 subjects. A postive score indicates that a student has made better progress than expected while a negative score means that a students has acheived an Attainment 8 score below expected. For more information on the Attainment 8 and Progress 8 see DfE's guidance.For data before 2015/16 see GCSE Results by Borough (Old Grading System). This dataset is one of the Greater London Authority's measures of Economic Fairness. Click here to find out more.

London’s consumption based greenhouse gas emissions

Tackling London’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a huge challenge. The impact of these emissions goes far beyond the city’s boundaries. From the electronics we buy and the food we eat to the clothes we wear, most are produced and transported globally.The GLA commissioned Leeds University to develop a historic trend of consumption-based emissions for London. It uses the latest available data (running from 2001-2022) on average expenditure on different types of goods and services. This methodology aligns with equivalent national government datasets at the UK level. Findings London’s consumption-based emissions in 2022 were around 88 MtCO 2 e. They’ve fallen by 16 per cent since 2001, despite the city’s population increasing by 1.4 million over that time. This means emissions per head have reduced by 30 per cent (from 13.9 to 9.83 tCO 2 e per person).The biggest drop in consumption-based emissions was between 2008 and 2009 during the global financial crisis, when households’ average spending decreased. Post-2009, emissions stabilised then steadily reduced from 2014 to 2020, bar a small increase from 2017-2018. This period of emissions reduction has been mainly driven by the decarbonisation of the UK electricity sector. Consumption-emissions also saw a significant drop between 2019 and 2020 as a result of the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This drop was almost as large as that due to the financial crisis. Since 2020, emissions have been increasing again; in 2022 they were up by 9% on 2021 levels. The national context London’s per capita consumption-based footprint is slightly lower than the UK average. It also follows a similar trend in reduction over the same period. However, at a sector level there are some cases where the per capita emissions for Londoners are different, for example: Transport – London’s use of transport is unlike any other region in the UK. Private transport emissions are much lower than any other region, and public transport emissions are the highest in the country. As a result, London has the lowest per capita transport emissions of any region and is lower than the UK average. However, London also has one of the highest per capita aviation emissions. In 2022, total transport emissions increased relative to 2021 but remained lower than 2019. The international context The Mayor wants to recognise the full environmental impact of London’s consumption by publishing this data. We hope this will encourage more cities to publish their consumption-based emissions data so we can identify similarities and work together to bring these emissions down.

Regulatory fire safety Inspections and audits

This dataset provides a list of fire safety inspections and visits carried out by the LFB's Inspecting Officers in the last five years. Most inspections relate to advice and enforcement of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The data is updated monthly, one month in arrears.We visit buildings for a range of reasons, including: to provide advice, to audit the fire safety arrangements and to inspect any remedial actions taken. Where we do find deficiencies in fire protection we can resolve these with those responsible for the building using formal and informal enforcement. When it is necessary to take formal enforcement action to improve fire safety arrangements, we publish those details on the LFB website here.For more information about the LFB's fire safety regulatory activities, please see the advice and guidance published on the LFB website here.The London Fire Commissioner (LFC) is the fire and rescue authority for London. The LFC runs the London Fire Brigade.

FSM universal registration approaches: Impact data from 28 London boroughs, 2023/24 – 2025/26

The analysis has been produced by Bremner & Co and Basis , supported by information provided by Policy in Practice and FixOurFood , and draws on data covering the 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years. With thanks to the 28 London boroughs who have shared their data through these projects to inform the figures presented here. Since launching Universal Free School Meals (UFSM) in 2023, the Mayor has made significant investments in supporting London boroughs to implement free school meal (FSM) universal registration approaches. These approaches identify unregistered pupils who are entitled to Government funded free school meals and associated funding streams for London’s schools. This note summarises the multiple strands of work which have each identified additional FSM entitled pupils in the 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years, and the associated potential income unlocked for schools. This information has been drawn from GLA-commissioned research by Bremner & Co and Basis, the results of a Mayoral funded FSM registration campaign with Policy in Practice, and from FixOurFood research. The work builds on an earlier snapshot assessment of potential gains in pupil premium funding across 17 boroughs, published in November 2025: Free School Meals (FSM) Universal Registration Pupil Premium Impact Data Snapshot

Arbor meals data

The GLA does not routinely collect data on the take-up of meals offered through the London UFSM scheme. This is due to the complex and variable nature of measuring meal take-up across schools, and the burden that a monitoring requirement could put on schools. Instead, take-up is understood using alternative sources – including data from Arbor, a management information system (MIS) provider. Arbor provides its MIS to over 12,500 schools nationally, including nearly 10,000 primary schools. Arbor offered to provide data in kind from the schools it supports in London. This gives a picture of the uptake of the Mayor's Universal Free School Meals (UFSM) programme across London and how it may differ between areas, and groups of pupils. The documents below outline the GLA City Intelligence Unit's analysis of the Arbor data sample. The latest publication covers the 2023/24 and 2024/25 academic years, while the earlier publication covers 2023/24 only.

Waste Contracts Register

The Mayor set out his strategic policy framework for managing London’s municipal waste in the London Environment Strategy (LES), published in 2018. Under Proposal 7.2.1(b), the Mayor committed to maintaining a waste contracts register to monitor when waste authority contracts come up for renewal. The register supports joint working and joint procurement, helping London’s waste authorities secure better value for money and harmonise services.Following consultation with London’s waste authorities, the Greater London Authority (GLA) created two documents that together make up the register: Contract Expiry Dates – a schedule of expiry dates for waste and recycling collection and disposal contracts. Waste Contract Procurement – information on waste and recycling contracts that authorities have procured, or are currently procuring, since publication of the LES in 2018. These documents help authorities understand upcoming procurement activity and identify potential opportunities for collaboration. Notification duties under section 358 of the GLA Act 1999 Under section 358 of the GLA Act 1999, London waste authorities must notify the Mayor and GLA in writing before commencing a regulated procurement procedure for the provision of waste services. This notification must be given before publishing any statutory notice under the Procurement Act 2023. This duty applies irrespective of the procurement route used.Authorities operating Direct Service Organisation (DSO)/in‑house arrangements are outside the regulated procurement regime but must still comply with section 358 and notify the Mayor before entering into any new waste‑related contract or arrangement. Update to GLA engagement on waste contracts (effective from 8 January 2026) As of 8 January 2026, following national policy developments including Extended Producer Responsibility, Deposit Return Schemes, and Simpler Recycling, the GLA has updated how it engages with London’s waste authorities on waste contracts.These national changes now provide a clearer and more consistent framework for waste and recycling services across England. In light of this, and to avoid unnecessary additional processes for boroughs, the GLA will no longer review new waste contracts. However, waste authorities must still meet their statutory obligation to notify the Mayor under section 358 of the GLA Act.The GLA continues to maintain the contracts register and remains committed to supporting boroughs through its close partnership with ReLondon, which provides practical expertise in waste prevention, reuse and recycling. Contact and further information Waste authorities can notify the Mayor and GLA of their intention to procure a new waste contract by contacting: Tom Harris Senior Policy and Programme Officer tom.harris@london.gov.uk

Ratio of House Prices to Earnings, Borough

This table shows the average House Price/Earnings ratio, which is an important indicator of housing affordability. Ratios are calculated by dividing house price by the median earnings of a borough.The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) is based on a 1 per cent sample of employee jobs. Information on earnings and hours is obtained in confidence from employers. It does not cover the self-employed nor does it cover employees not paid during the reference period. Information is as at April each year. The statistics used are workplace based full-time individual earnings.Pre-2013 Land Registry housing data are for the first half of the year only, so that they are comparable to the ASHE data which are as at April. This is no longer the case from 2013 onwards as this data uses house price data from the ONS House Price Statistics for Small Areas statistical release. Prior to 2006 data are not available for Inner and Outer London.The lowest 25 per cent of prices are below the lower quartile; the highest 75 per cent are above the lower quartile. The "lower quartile" property price/income is determined by ranking all property prices/incomes in ascending order. The 'median' property price/income is determined by ranking all property prices/incomes in ascending order. The point at which one half of the values are above and one half are below is the median.Regional data has not been published by DCLG since 2012. Data for regions has been calculated by the GLA. Data since 2014 has been calculated by the GLA using Land Registry house prices and ONS Earnings data.Link to DCLG Live TablesAn interactive map showing the affordability ratios by local authority for 2013, 2014 and 2015 is also available.
