The response to this simple question is as varied and extraordinary as the city itself.
Your Favourite London Sounds aims to discover what Londoners think about their city’s vast and changing soundscape and to reveal the London of the ear.
On this site you can listen to some of London’s favourite sounds, read those suggested so far and find out more about the project.
