How interesting - maps are so powerful though it would also be interesting to see distributions within Boroughs, Not much was a surprise except Lambeth & although I knew a lot of Portuguese speakers lived there, wouldn't have put it so high. Since my DD has lived in an inner Borough we have noticed the changes over 12 just by listening to people walking down the street. First lots of Jamaican patois (not included in the map) & Tamil but now replaced by many Polish speakers with a very great mix of other languages. It's a wonderfully cosmopolitan area.
