Site Help

This page aims to help you to get the best from london.gov.uk

The site looks at the work of the Mayor of London; there is also a section on the London Assembly and a section for journalists (the Media Centre).

If you want to browse and see what there is on a particular topic or issue - eg transport - go to our London Issues pages and have a look from there.

If you know exactly what you are looking for, but you're not sure where to find it, go straight to our search facility. You can do a site-wide, or 'global' search, or you can search within a particular section of the website. You may also find our site map helpful.

If you want to tell the Mayor what you think or if you have any comments or suggestions about the website, use the Contact link that can be found on the global navigation bar at the top of each page.

Accessing downloadable documents such as reports, committee papers

A large number of documents are available for download from this website - for example reports, strategy documents, committee papers, minutes of meetings. The majority are made available in two file formats - Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) and Rich Text Format (RTF). The notes below summarise the difference between these file formats, to help you decide which to use.

PDF - Portable Document Format

• PDF files maintain the original formatting and layout of the document.
• Files includes all images: pictures, maps, graphs, etc.
• Users must have Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed on their computer in order to 'read' these documents; if not available via your web browser, this software is available free of charge from the Adobe website.
• Users with visual impairments who make use of text to speech software may encounter problems when using PDF files. The access.adobe.com website provides tools and information to help make Adobe PDF files accessible to users with visual disabilities.

RTF - Rich Text Format

• RTF files may not maintain the original formatting and layout of document.
• Images - pictures, maps, graphs, logos - are removed.
• Files are readable with most current word-processor software.
• Files may be larger than PDFs and therefore slower to download.
