Bird's-eye View Of London At Night, United Kingdom

Across London, Black and Asian children outnumber White British children by about six to four in state schools. In January 2005, a survey of London's ethnic and religious diversity claimed that there were more than 300 languages spoken and more than 50 non-indigenous communities which have a population of more than 10,000 in London. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show that, as of 2006, London's foreign-born population is 2,288,000 (31 per cent), up from 1,630,000 in 1997.
The 2001 census showed that 27.1 per cent of Greater London's population were born outside the UK. The table to the right shows the 20 most common foreign countries of birth of London residents in 2001, the date of the last UK Census. A portion of the German-born population are likely to be British nationals born to parents serving in the British Armed Forces in Germany.
