This statistic displays the number of Great London's population that are living in areas that exceeded the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) annual mean UK Air Quality Strategy objective of ** µg/m3 in 2016. As of 2016, there was a population of just over *********** children aged 0 to 18 years old in Greater London. Of this population, more than ******* thousand are estimated to being exposed to toxic air.Overall, an estimated ** percent of the population of Greater London lived in areas that exceeded the NO2 Annual mean.

The 2016-based population projections are the most recent set of GLA projections. These projections will form part of the evidence based for the Mayor's new London Plan. Note: These outputs contain data for London only. Documentation Reports on the results of the 2016-based population projections can be found on the documentation pages ( click here ). A methodology paper for the GLA trend model is also available ( click here ). National Projections The full outputs which comprise populations, detailed components of change, and households for all authorities in England plus national projections for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are also available for download ( click here ). Household Projections Household projections consistent with these population outputs are also available ( click here ). Housing-led population projections 2016-based housing-led projections incorportaing the 2017 SHLAA are scheduled for release in Autumn 2017. Until this release the Interim 2015-based housing-led and small area projections remain the most current ( click here ).

Excel Age-Range creator for Office for National Statistics (ONS) Mid year population estimates (MYE) covering each year between 1999 and 2016 These files take into account the revised estimates for 2002-2010 released in April 2013 down to Local Authority level and the post 2011 estimates based on the Census results. Scotland and Northern Ireland data has not been revised, so Great Britain and United Kingdom totals comprise the original data for these plus revised England and Wales figures. This Excel based tool enables users to query the single year of age raw data so that any age range can easily be calculated without having to carry out often complex, and time consuming formulas that could also be open to human error. Simply select the lower and upper age range for both males and females and the spreadsheet will return the total population for the range. Please adhere to the terms and conditions of supply contained within the file. Tip: You can copy and paste the rows you are interested in to another worksheet by using the filters at the top of the columns and then select all by pressing Ctrl+A. Then simply copy and paste the cells to a new location. ONS Mid year population estimates Open Excel tool (London Boroughs, Regions and National, 1999-2016) Also available is a custom-age tool for all geographies in the UK. Open the tool for all UK geographies (local authority and above) for: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. This full MYE dataset by single year of age (SYA) age and gender is available as a Datastore package here. Ward Level Population estimates Single year of age population tool for 2002 to 2015 for all wards in London. New 2014 Ward boundary estimates Ward boundary changes in May 2014 only affected three London boroughs - Hackney, Kensington and Chelsea, and Tower Hamlets. The estimates between 2001-2013 have been calculated by the GLA by taking the proportion of a the old ward that falls within the new ward based on the proportion of population living in each area at the 2011 Census. Therefore, these estimates are purely indicative and are not official statistics and not endorsed by ONS. From 2014 onwards, ONS began publishing official estimates for the new ward boundaries.

This dataset shows different breakdowns of London's resident population by their country of birth. Data used comes from ONS' Annual Population Survey (APS). The APS has a sample of around 320,000 people in the UK (around 28,000 in London). As such all figures must be treated with some caution. 95% confidence interval levels are provided. Numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand and figures for smaller populations have been suppressed. Four files are available for download: Country of Birth - Borough: Shows country of birth estimates in their broad groups such as European Union, South East Asia, North Africa, etc. broken down to borough level. Detailed Country of Birth - London: Shows country of birth estimates for specific countries such as France, Bangladesh, Nigeria, etc. available for London as a whole Demography Update 09-2015: A GLA Demography report that uses APS data to analyse the trends in London for the period 2004 to 2014. A supporting data file is also provided. Country of Birth Borough 2004-2016 Analysis Tool: A tool produced by GLA Demography that allows users to explore different breakdowns of country of birth data. An accompanying Tableau visualisation tool has also been produced which maps data from 2004 to 2015. 2011 Census Country of Birth data can be found here: https://data.london.gov.uk/census/themes/diversity/ Nationality data can be found here: https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/nationality Nationality refers to that stated by the respondent during the interview. Country of birth is the country in which they were born. It is possible that an individual’s nationality may change, but the respondent’s country of birth cannot change. This means that country of birth gives a more robust estimate of change over time.

In 2024, the population of the United Kingdom reached 69.3 million, compared with 68.5 million in 2023. The UK population has more than doubled since 1871 when just under 31.5 million lived in the UK and has grown by around 10.4 million since the start of the twenty-first century. For most of the twentieth century, the UK population steadily increased, with two noticeable drops in population occurring during World War One (1914-1918) and in World War Two (1939-1945). Demographic trends in postwar Britain After World War Two, Britain and many other countries in the Western world experienced a 'baby boom,' with a postwar peak of 1.02 million live births in 1947. Although the number of births fell between 1948 and 1955, they increased again between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s, with more than one million people born in 1964. Since 1964, however, the UK birth rate has fallen from 18.8 births per 1,000 people to a low of just 10.2 in 2020. As a result, the UK population has gotten significantly older, with the country's median age increasing from 37.9 years in 2001 to 40.7 years in 2022. What are the most populated areas of the UK? The vast majority of people in the UK live in England, which had a population of 58.6 million people in 2024. By comparison, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland had populations of 5.5 million, 3.2 million, and 1.9 million, respectively. Within England, South East England had the largest population, at over 9.6 million, followed by the UK's vast capital city of London, at almost 9.1 million. London is far larger than any other UK city in terms of urban agglomeration, with just four other cities; Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and Glasgow, boasting populations that exceed one million people.

GLA Demography has published 2016-based employment-led projections for London which provide population projections which are consistent with the employment projection scenarios published by GLA Economics. However, this should be viewed as an experimental output which may not be updated in the future. In addition to the raw data for this set of population projections, we have also produced a methodology document which explains how these projections were produced. GLA Demography produces a variety of different types of population projections in order to meet the needs of a wide range of users.

On his election in 2016, the Mayor committed to a large scale consultation on a range of actions to address poor air quality in London. Measures under consideration include implementing the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in 2019 rather than 2020, expanding the boundaries of the ULEZ, and introducing an Emissions Surcharge on the most polluting vehicles driving in central London from 2017. In addition the Mayor has committed to cleaning up London bus fleets, using air quality alerts, and exploring options for a diesel scrappage scheme. This report and associated data sets out the results from the Stage 1 consultation, which will inform Transport for London’s further consultation in the Autumn. Technical Details Talk London Clean Air Survey – approximately 15,000 responses. Fieldwork from 5-29 July 2016. TNS Research Clean Air Survey – Identical questionnaire to Talk London Clean Air survey. 1,000 sample, representative of the London population by age, gender, ethnicity, plus boosted sample of 650 Londoners in Inner London. Fieldwork from 7-29 July 2016. TNS T-Charge Poll – A survey of 1,000 Londoners, representative of the London population by age, gender, ethnicity was commissioned to understand Londoners’ perceptions of a potential charge on the most polluting vehicles. Fieldwork 9-14 June 2016. A number of Londoners responded to the consultation outside the survey and discussions on Talk London, for example by writing to/emailing TfL and the Mayor. These have been collated, read, included in qualitative analysis slides in the consultation report.

The ethnic group projections are produced for London borough and provide detailed projection by 17 ethnic groups of London’s future population.

Two variants are produced: one consistent with the 2016-based central trend projection, and one consistent with the 2016-based housing-led projection.

The 2016-based projections remain the most recent set of GLA ethnic group projections.
