The late-night London dataset

What is in it

One row per place. Columns: name, category, part_of_london, neighbourhood, address, postcode, latitude, longitude, source_url, hours_words_from_source, date_read, source_type, guide.

By category

By part of London

How it was made

A place is included only if its own page states the hours, and the words in hours_words_from_source are copied from that page. For pharmacies the source is the NHS.uk opening-times page, which also shows the date the pharmacy last confirmed its hours; that date is in the row. Each page was read by a person-supervised process on the date in date_read. Where a business's page could not be read, or did not state its hours, it is left out.

What it is not

• Not a census. It is a partial list of places we could verify, not every late venue in London. A place missing from it is not a place that is closed.
• Not live. Hours change without notice. Check with the venue before you travel. Each row says when we read it.
• Not a ranking or a recommendation. Nobody pays to be in it.

Second dataset: noise and building-work hours, all 33 London councils

For each of the 33 London councils (the 32 boroughs and the City of London): what its own website says about reporting noise, what it says about night-time or out-of-hours service, and the hours it allows for noisy building work on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Every value links to the council page it came from, with the date we read it (3 or 13 October 2026).

Columns: council, noise_reporting_page_says, noise_night_time_page_says, noise_source_url, noise_read_on, building_work_weekdays, building_work_saturday, building_work_sundays_bank_holidays, building_work_notes, building_work_source_url, building_work_read_on. Quotes are copied from the council's page; the hours columns are our summary of that page.

What it is not. It does not measure how quickly a council answers or whether officers attend, and it is not a ranking of councils. It says only what each council publishes. Night services change, often by season, and several close over Christmas. One council (Barnet) refused our automated check for building-work hours, so that row says “not checked”. The same data, readable, is in noise complaints: police, 101 or the council? and building work noise hours. Same licence as above: CC BY 4.0 with a link back.

Third dataset: petrol station hours, every Shell and BP in Greater London

205 sites: 192 Shell and BP petrol stations and 13 Shell charging-only sites. For each one, the forecourt hours for every day of the week, the shop hours and EV charging hours where the operator publishes them (Shell does, BP does not), the fastest charger listed, the borough, coordinates, the station's own page and the date we read it. 157 of the petrol stations list a 24-hour forecourt.

Columns: name, brand, site_type, address, postcode, borough, latitude, longitude, forecourt_open_24h, forecourt_hours, shop_open_24h, shop_hours, ev_charging_hours, ev_max_kw, source_url, date_read, then forecourt_mon to forecourt_sun as 24-hour clock ranges. Borough from the ONS postcode directory (via postcodes.io).

What it is not. Not every station in London: Esso, Tesco, Texaco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Jet and independents are not in it yet. Not live: no prices, no fuel availability, no charger status. The readable version is the guide 24-hour petrol stations in London. Same licence as above: CC BY 4.0 with a link back.

Fourth dataset: EV charging sites and night access

719 London charging locations from the operators' own published data: MFG EV Power and Clenergy EV (their open feeds under the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023) and Shell Recharge (each station's own page). For each: whether the operator lists it as open 24/7, the fastest charger, the number of chargers, borough, coordinates, source and date read. 110 rapid sites (50 kW or more) are listed as open 24 hours.

What it is not. Not every charger: BP Pulse, Gridserve, InstaVolt, Tesla, Ionity, Osprey, ubitricity and Source London ask for a request or agreement first and are not in it yet. Not live status, not prices. Clenergy EV marks almost every site 24/7, including workplace car parks; the note column says so and the guide does not count them.
