Mind the digital gap
Prior to the pandemic, research showed 450,000 Londoners over the age of 55 had never used the internet. Age UK London have been looking into older Londoners' internet usage and how the pandemic has changed this.
Age UK London is a charity that campaigns for an age-friendly London
We campaign for specific change to improve the lives of older Londoners. We also work to ensure that their experiences, needs and contributions are heard and taken into account by decision makers.
Our latest campaigns
London Mayoral Elections 2021
Sadiq Khan was re-elected as Mayor of London last month. We look forward to working with him and his team to make the capital a much healthier, safer and happier place for Londoners of all ages, especially older Londoners.
Protect free travel for older Londoners
Age UK London are campaigning against the early weekday morning suspension of travel concessions because it penalises older Londoners with no choice about when and how they travel.
