Summary of request
Your request
I am writing to inquire about obtaining data from an LGBT map that was previously available on your website.
I understand that the map is no longer accessible on the website and I was wondering if it would be possible to obtain the data in some other form.
The data from this map would be incredibly valuable for my research as it would provide important insights into the visibility and accessibility of LGBTQ+ resources and spaces in the community.
Our response
Our response to your request is as follows: 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: Cultural Infrastructure Map | London City Hall
The data download is available via the data store at: Cultural Infrastructure Map - London Datastore
The orignal map also contains the same category of venue, LGBTQ+ night time venues that we transferred to the Cultural Infrastructure Map.
