Episode Details

London’s population dropped last year — the first time since 2021 — making it the only English region to shrink, down 0.3% to just over 9 million. Most boroughs, including Camden and Westminster, saw declines, even outpacing the Isles of Scilly. While England and Wales grew by 224,000 (0.4%), the slowest since 2020, London’s exodus outstripped inflows despite higher births and net migration. Births hit a 45-year low, and deaths also fell — but London’s unique trend shows more people leaving than arriving, signaling a major demographic shift.
