New stats on London’s population

people.jpgLondon has one of the most cosmopolitan populations of any big city in the world and one that’s constantly changing with waves of new immigrants arriving as anyone will tell you. In the part of North London where I live, Eastern Europeans, Somalians and people from other muslim countries have moved in quite rapidly in the last year or two.

The Office of National Statistics have just released figures on the number of foreign born people who live in London and its currently one in three of the capital’s 7.4 million people, with a further 10,000 people born overseas settling in London each month.
