According to http://www.muslimsinbritain.org/guide/guide3.html#3.3 the main countries of origin among Muslims in London are Bangladesh, Pakistan and India, followed by Turkey/Cyprus, Algeria, Morocco, sub-Saharan West Africa, the Sahel or Horn of Africa, Egypt, Indonesia /Malaysia/ Singapore. At least 96% of Muslims in Britain, and approximately 1520 or 96% of masjids or mosques, are Sunni, and about 2% are Shi’a, with 67 masjids.

The physical size of Greater London, England, is 607 square miles. There is a Muslim community in all of its 32 boroughs and in the City of London. Eleven of the boroughs have a Muslim population of 10% or more. The largest concentration of Muslim residents is in Tower Hamlets (71,389 representing 36.4% of the population), followed by Newham (59,293; 24.3%). At the other end of the scale are Bexley (3,069; 1.4%) and Havering (1,800; 0.8%).

There is no ‘segregation’ nor are there ‘white-free areas’.

Note: data is from the 2011 Census.
