DISCOVER UNIQUE STORIES OF LONDON IN OUR THEMED COLLECTIONS
1000 Londoners is a random sample of 1000 people who live and work in London - but how do you build a random sample of a city? Some Londoners come to us - for others, we set ourselves a challenge to get out into the city and find them. We do this with our collections. In our collections we go out of our way to find people who relate to a specific theme. So, this could be London’s dog-owners, London’s shops or London’s food. And when we build a collection you can be sure that you’ll find a huge range of people and ideas. For example, when we decided to look into London on two wheels, we produced the ‘1000 Londoners: Easy Riders'' collection and found custom motorbikes, a commuter cyclist, a disability cycling campaigner, an elderly Moped gang and far more. You’ll find collections about every London from its fighters to its carers. If it happens in London, we’re trying to find it! Check out some of the collections below:

The subjects come from all walks of life, showcasing the cultural, professional, and personal diversity that makes London unique.
