This map shows the
largest foreign born populations in London by borough, with people from
India being the dominant nationality in ten areas
This colourful map of London reveals
how vast swathes of the capital are dominated by certain nationalities
in a city where one in three people are now born abroad.
Residents
originally from India dominate ten of the capital's 32 boroughs while
Londoners born in Nigeria, Poland, Turkey and Bangladesh have the
highest numbers in at least three areas each.
In
some areas including Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea and Brent more
than half the population born abroad, according to figures from the
Mayor of London's Data Store.
This
year London’s population reached an all time high of 8.6million with
two million more people moving to the city in the past two decades, many
of them from abroad.
The
8.6million population of London is its peak since the previous record,
in 1939, before the devastation of the Second World War but more than
2.2million Londoners left for a new life in the surrounding counties or
the suburbs over the next 50 years.
Breakdown: This shows the largest foreign-born populations in each borough and the percentage of the population born abroad
