Following on from Fern’s post (#440) the UK is certainly experiencing strong population growth, and I would not be surprised if this year tops the previous record set in 2011.
What is crazy as well is the continued growth of London: up 122,146 in a single year. Over the decade to mid-2014, London, the South East and East saw combined population growth of 2.4mn.
