The English in parts of this section is appalling. Any objections if I clear it up and remove references to countries not in the top 5? -- Owain loft ( talk) 13:20, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
The article states that London is the second most populous city in Europe, after Moscow. What about Istanbul? It has a population of just over 10 million. The issue is complicated by the fact that the city is in two continents. Any ideas? Cordless Larry 22:59, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
According to the Wikipedia article on Demographics:
"Commonly-used demographics include race, age, income, disabilities, mobility (in terms of travel time to work or number of vehicles available), educational attainment, home ownership, employment status, and even location."
Unfortunately, the 'demographics of London' article is biased towards just two elements. One is 'ethnicity'. The other is size comparisons with other European capitals. No explanation is given as to why these two factors are more important than say, the distribution of income or occupation.
This article can only be improved by a much more indepth study that goes beyond just nationalism and ethnicism.

Clearly, this article must be updated, as it does not say anything about the Polish population in London. On the statistics table, it is not even included. There has been a very significant wave of Polish migration since 2004 and the article doesn't reflect that.

Demography of London →
Demographics of London – This shouldn't be too controversial. I'd just like to see the name of this article conform to the rest of those in the
Category:Demographics by city category.

What happened before 1801? Any date from historical population of London? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.120.5.169 ( talk) 05:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
what i'd love to see is if you could lay the data maps on top of javascript based maps such as openstreetmap.org ? maybe with mapbox.com it can be done ? if anyone knows how to do this, it could be quite useful all over wikipedia

Tweedledumb2, regarding your reinstatement of the use of Twitter as a source for demographic statistics in this article, there are several reasons to object. The Twitter account concerned isn't verified, for a start, but presuming it is Kaufmann, from what I read in the Wikipedia article about him, he seems to be a controversial figure and errors have been identified in his work - see Eric_Kaufmann#Whiteshift (2018) for example. Presumably the figures in the tweet must be from some published source, in which case we should find and cite that instead. Cordless Larry ( talk) 12:03, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Population pyramid of each borough in London... except Barnet, apparently. Given that City of London is in there, there should be 33 charts, not 32, and the heading probably needs a bit of a change. Grutness... wha? 15:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
