Research
Cultural activities
City Hall’s Culture team want to understand what motivates people to take part in cultural activities, and what prevents them from doing so. They want to fund out what cultural experiences Londoners are most and least likely to do, what the barriers to participation are, and how important arts and culture are to people’s lives.
