Explore London

Fire, plague, population explosions, aerial bombing, economic recessions, urban blight, terrorism London has taken everything history could throw at it, and this has made it one of the worlds most complex and fascinating cities.

There must be something special about London to attract more than 27 million overnight visitors each year. And it is not the weather. There are, however, wonderful palaces and cathedrals, theatres and museums, parks and gardens, restaurants serving cuisine from all parts of the world, a vibrant nightlife, and a refreshingly cosmopolitan and open attitude towards diversity in all things, especially its own inhabitants.

Population

Population growth

The population of London is estimated at around 8.2 million people and there is no sign of any let up in its growth. London is generally considered the most populous city in the European Union (EU). Of course, there are questions over where the boundaries of Londons sprawl lie, but it is usually defined as the financial district (the City) and the 32 boroughs that constitute Greater London.

The population on this territory rose from about 1.1 million in 1801 to peak at over 8.6 million in 1939. It then declined to 6.7 million in 1988, before growing once more to about the same level today as in 1970 (also the level of the 1920s). However, the wider metropolitan area of London continues to spread outwards and is now home to between 12 and 14 million, depending on the definition of that area.
