Understanding London

This section of the website is work in progress.

We hope to develop ‘Understanding’ as a resource for those who are interested in social change in London. You can read about some of the groups we fund, and why we think their work is important here.

And here you’ll find links to organisations with reports or stats on life in the Capital.

We’d like you to help us in making this an invaluable place for Londoners. If you would like to be involved please contact us.

Rome is feminine.

So is Odessa.

London is a teenager, an urchin, and, in this, hasn't changed since the time of Dickens.
