Some parts of London are now almost 50% Islamic, according to analysis from the Office for National Statistics. If current trends continue, the areas could become majority Muslim within ten years.
Official ONS figures for 2018/19 that were released in December show that there are 3,194,791 Muslims living in England, with over a third aged under 16.
English Muslims make up the vast majority of the 3,363,210 currently living in England, Scotland and Wales. They make up 5.9% of the 2018 English population (55.16 million).
Following the migrant crisis that started in 2015, there were reports that Islamic populations would triple by 2050 as refugees headed west.
