Methodology
Census 2021 table TS061, method used to travel to work, for Greater London via NOMIS. The categories are the census's own rather than a tidier set invented here — working mainly at or from home is the single largest answer at 42%, and any grouping that folds it away tells a different story from the one the data tells.
