Based on figures going back to 2011, the number of domestic overnight trips to the capital of the United Kingdom, London, peaked in 2022. That year the number of trips reached 15.4 million, which was nearly 2.5 million more than the previous high of 12.91 million recorded in 2015.

¹ Due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 2020 data is missing, and 2021 figures only refer to the period from April to December. In 2021, the source changed the survey method from face-to-face interviews to online surveys. It then mentioned that these reasons limit the comparability of 2021 data with figures published up to 2019.
² The survey, carried out weekly, asks respondents about overnight trips taken in Great Britain during the previous four weeks. While the annual target sample is 60,000, the number of respondents from April to December 2021 was 47,008. However, the sample size used for trip estimation was lower than the number of interviews, as not every respondent had made an eligible overnight trip.
