Based on data from the National Bureau of Statistics of the United Kingdom, to date, only 45% of London's population have English, Scottish or Welsh roots and can rightfully call themselves British. An interesting fact is that 10 years ago the index was 60%.
Record population growth in the UK is coursed by peak demand in the property market of the country. Over the past 10 years due to migrant population in England and Wales increased by 3,7 million people. This population boom of 70% was due to arrivals of migrants.
Buyers began to flock to the UK from all over the world in 2004, when to the European Union was joined eight Eastern European countries, and the policy of Tony Blair has greatly simplified the process of migration. Despite the fact that the most of foreigners prefer to live on the outskirts of London, the native British were driven out of the city center. The reason was not only the peak activity in terms of migration, but also the value of the property, which shot up by Russian oligarchs and Arab sheikhs.
