OPINION - London's population is at record levels and from housing to GPs, we can't go on like this

Is there anyone actually surprised that the population of London is within a squeak of exceeding its pre-pandemic levels, according to the Centre for Cities. That is, just over 10 million. And the reason is down to the simple reality that an awful lot of the people who come to the UK gravitate — surprise! —to London. The capital takes in more than a third of incomers, some 35 per cent, possibly more. And so the more immigration goes up, the more the London population rises. It really is that basic.
