London 21st Century

What is the overall trend in London's ethnic diversity over the last few decades?

London has become a "plural city." The White British population fell below 50% (to around 45%), meaning no single ethnic group forms a majority.

Which London borough is an excellent case study for extreme ethnic diversity, and what is its key statistic?

Newham. Over 70% of its population is from non-White British ethnic minority backgrounds.

Name three major ethnic groups that have grown significantly in London.

1. British Asian (e.g., Indian, Bangladeshi)

2. Black British (e.g., African, Caribbean)

3. White Other (e.g., Eastern European)

What are the two main reasons London’s ethnic diversity changed so fast?

1. International migration: People moving to London for jobs or university.

2. Natural increase: Younger migrant populations having children, while the older White British population ages.
