While London tends to have better health outcomes than the rest of the UK, stark ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities remain.
The Snapshot of Health Inequalities in London provides a high-level overview of major inequalities issues affecting Londoners with thematic packs on climate, children and young people, and the cost of living.
This is a resource intended to inform health and non-health specialists. It will inform action on health inequalities across all strategies, policies and programmes, supporting a health in all policies approach.
