London population on course to hit 10 million over the next decade, in part due to migration
Briefly

London's population is anticipated to increase to nearly 9.5 million by 2032, eventually surpassing 10 million by the mid-2030s, largely fueled by international migration. Tower Hamlets, one of the most diverse boroughs, is projected to see a remarkable 20.4% rise in residents. This growth is attributed to positive natural change—where births exceed deaths—coupled with international migration. Despite some residents moving away, London and the West Midlands are expected to witness population growth, necessitating substantial investments in housing, transport, and cultural amenities to maintain livability.
The increase will be largely driven by international migration, with the East End borough of Tower Hamlets set for an astonishing 20.4 per cent rise in residents.
As London heads for 10 million residents, new housing, transport and cultural investment will be essential to ensure the city remains liveable.
These projections show London remains a hugely attractive place to live and work, but there will need to be significant investment.
The borough of Tower Hamlets is projected to be the fastest growing local authority in England, with a 20.4 per cent population increase by 2032.
