The Guardian: "1.8m foreigners move to capital as Britons leave"
From today's Guardian:
Almost 1.8 million people have moved to London from abroad in the last decade, figures revealed today show.
However, the capital proved less popular with British residents, and lost the largest number of people through internal migration of any area in the UK.
The Bank of Scotland research, published today, shows that between 1998 and 2007 nearly 2 million people moved out of the capital to other parts of Britian, while 1.6 million went the other way.
London experienced by far the biggest level of net international migration, with almost 1.8 million more people moving to London from abroad than moved from the capital to live outside the UK.
The south-east of England was the most popular region for people from elsewhere in the UK, leading to a net increase of 550,889. More than 2.2 million people moved to the area, while almost 1.7 million left.
The north-east and north-west were the only UK regions to see an overall decline in their population, losing 26,000 and 27,000 respectively.
Internal migration boosted Scotland's population by 157,757.
Between 1998 and 2007 the report showed that 542,524 people moved to Scotland from other regions of the UK, while only 384,767 left. Northern Ireland gained 10,681 residents from elsewhere in the UK.
The report was based on the 2008 population trends data published by the Office for National Statistics.
