The question is, however, to what extent things are returning to normal.Īmid the unprecedented circumstances of this pandemic, it’s fair to assume that the ways in which people are moving around London has changed - but just how much? How has travel in London changed?

With Boris Johnson now urging people to return to the office from August, transport is slowly becoming an integral part of our daily lives once again. However, now measures have started to ease, we have seen travel around the city start to pick up. In other words, the Coronavirus pandemic caused a massive shift in the ways in which people travelled during the first half of 2020. In London in particular, where previously packed public transport systems were met with a dwindling number of passengers, it was clear that the way people chose to travel (if they chose to travel at all) was significantly impacted as people either stayed home or sought alternative methods of transport that could better accommodate social distancing during this time. As a result, movement around major cities was reduced drastically.

In March, the UK government advised everyone to avoid any and all non-essential travel.
