The Great Big London Quiz 2025 Puts the Year’s Biggest Moments to the Test

Londoners are being invited to test their knowledge of the capital’s most memorable moments from the past year with the launch of The Great Big London Quiz 2025.

The quiz looks back at key events that shaped life in the capital over the last 12 months, covering everything from politics and transport to culture, sport and unexpected headline moments. Designed to challenge both casual readers and dedicated news followers, it offers a snapshot of a year that once again proved eventful for the city.

Compiled by BBC journalists Harry Low and Bethan Bell, the quiz draws on stories reported across the year, highlighting how quickly London continues to change. From major infrastructure decisions and public debates to landmark celebrations and dramatic incidents, the questions reflect the diversity and pace of life in the capital.

Organisers say the quiz is not just about testing memory, but also about encouraging people to reflect on how local events connect to broader national and global issues. Many of the stories featured sparked conversations well beyond London, while others revealed how neighbourhood level changes can shape daily life for millions of residents.

The quiz format allows participants to dip in casually or take it more seriously, comparing scores with friends and family. It also serves as a reminder of how much can happen in a single year, even in a city used to constant movement and reinvention.

London’s skyline, transport networks and cultural scene all feature prominently, alongside questions about public services, community stories and moments that dominated social media. For newer residents, the quiz offers a way to catch up on what has mattered most. For long time Londoners, it is a chance to see how closely they followed events as they unfolded.

The Great Big London Quiz 2025 is now available online, inviting readers to see how well they remember a year that once again kept the capital firmly in the spotlight.
