Of all the changes announced by the 2011 census, one of the most startling is the rapid change in the ethnic composition of London’s population.

Seth Dixon, Ph.D.‘s insight:

The fact the immigrants moving to the UK have flocked to London is not surprising (View a map of the census data).  Immigration isn’t the only component to this situation.  White Britons are also leaving London in large number, prompting some to refer to this as “White Flight.”  Today, white Britons are no longer the majority population within London (but still the largest ethnic group).  Some feel that this story has gone underreported and deserves more analysis.  What elements of human geography should an observer of this situation use in their analysis?
