High Streets Data Service and Partnership
The High Streets Data Service (HSDS) is a data sharing partnership between the Greater London Authority, London boroughs, and Business Improvement Districts.
Borne out the Mayor’s mission to support high streets’ pandemic recovery, the HSDS provides local officers with high quality data to shape policy, strategy, and investment decisions on London’s 600+ high streets and 200+ town centres.
HSDS provides access to granular datasets, analysis tools, and strategic reports on spend, footfall, and vacancy to improve decision making about local places. The High Streets Data Service enables users to explore:
- Private data purchased through the partnership, including footfall, spending, and catchments broken down by high street and time-of-day
- Public data, including Google mobility, planning boundaries, cultural infrastructure, and air quality data is open
The data enables users to:
- Explore high street activity and how it varies around the clock and throughout the week
- Understand untapped opportunities in high streets, such as more essential services like childcare and healthcare, extended opening hours of businesses, or a better culture and nightlife offer
- See how local high streets fit into a bigger London picture

The partnership is funded by annual subscriptions from the 35+ Councils and BIDs, which underwrites the collective purchase of data, quality assurance, and analysis tools.
Collectively purchased data is only available to members of the partnership: contact High Streets Data Service team to request access.
