Moving to London or new to the city? How do you get around?

Hi everyone,

I’m a PhD researcher at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, studying how people travel around London and how walking and cycling fit into everyday life.

I’m running a short anonymous survey for adults aged 18+ who currently live in Greater London. I’m particularly interested in the experiences of people who are new to London, have recently moved here, or are still working out the most practical ways to travel around the city.

The survey asks about walking, cycling, public transport, travel habits, barriers, and what might make active travel feel safer or easier. You do not need to walk or cycle regularly to take part.

It takes around 6–10 minutes and has received ethics approval from my school.

I’d also be interested to hear in the comments: when you first moved to London, what most influenced how you chose to get around?

Thank you very much for your help.
