Foreigners to outnumber Brits in London by 2031

Foreigners residing in London are set to outnumber Brits within 20 years, a new study has revealed.

According to the research, the number of residents born overseas has risen by 54 per cent in ten years, while Brits in the capital have reduced by one per cent, the Sun reported.

The study found that if the rate of change stays the same, then in 2031 London will have 7.11 million foreign residents and 5.07 million Brits.

The Migration Observatory at Oxford University, which analyzed census data, discovered that migrants now account for 37 per cent of London residents, up from 27 per cent in 2001.

It was found that migrants make up 13 per cent of the UK population, with 7.5 million living in England and Wales.
