London Green Infrastructure Framework
The London Green Infrastructure Framework brings together key London-wide green infrastructure data in one place. You can use it to evidence, plan and prioritise the green infrastructure Londoners need.
The London Green Infrastructure Framework (LGIF) is a strategic evidence tool for anyone involved in green infrastructure (GI) planning, delivery and management in London.
The LGIF combines key London-wide GI data in one place. It helps identify where and how to invest in new or improved GI and maximise its benefits for Londoners.
It supports decision making for the Greater London Authority (GLA), London boroughs, landowners, designers, funders and others involved in GI.
It's a recommendation of the London Climate Resilience Review. It complements the London Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS).
The LGIF is similar to Natural England’s GI Mapping Database, but uses London-specific data and gives analysis for a London context. It replaces the 2018 GI Focus Map and is a strategic replacement for the 2012 All London Green Grid (ALGG).
How the LGIF can help you
You can use the LGIF to:
- identify priority areas for creating new, or adapting existing, GI
- identify the most beneficial GI functions to deliver in an area
- inform management decisions and investment priorities
- provide evidence to support funding applications
- inform plan-making and development proposals
- inform land and site management.
How the Mayor/GLA will use the LGIF
The LGIF will help inform strategic spatial planning for London, including the next London Plan.
The LGIF will support future applications through the Mayor’s Green Roots Fund. It will provide evidence to show why GI projects are needed in certain areas.
It will also help the Greater London Authority (GLA) direct future investment in GI to those areas of greatest need.

Preparing the LGIF
GLA teams prepared the LGIF, with support from Land Use Consultants (LUC) to prepare the spatial data analysis.
As a new strategic approach, stakeholder engagement also informed development. A wide range of key stakeholders helped shape the scope, content and format of the LGIF. This included:
- Three in-person workshops at City Hall in October 2024 with over 100 stakeholders. They included the London local authorities, major landowners and developers, environmental NGOs and community representative organisations.
- Additional scoping calls with key stakeholders.
- Advice and feedback from the London Green Infrastructure Partnership.
- A working group of internal officers across GLA policy teams. This group included teams responsible for the London Plan, Regeneration, Climate Change Adaptation, Housing and Land, Infrastructure and Public Health.
- Web-map testing by internal and external stakeholders.
