What was the population of London in 1665?

Answer 1

It was about half a million (500,000).

___________________

A good deal less after the 1665 plague. Even before then it was probably nearer 400,000; afterwards, more like 350,000 - though the plague and fire (which destroyed many City churches, disrupting the birth registration and burial patterns on which estimates are based) make it hard to say with confidence.

Answer 2

500,000 people is the population of London, England.

______________

I'd put it lower - probably around 400,000 on the eve of the plague. The successive disruptions of war, Commonwealth, plague and fire make the mid-century figure [roblematical, but it seems difficult to believe that after more than doubling in the first two-thirds of the century the metropolis did little more in the last third than make good the losses of 1665.

Answer 3

the population of London in 1750 according to my school textbook is over half a million

_______________

Probably just over 600,000, though some estimates are higher.

Answer 4

if the population was 350,000 people and the size of London approx 5455 acres that would be 22 per square kilometre.

Answer 5

In the region of 5.5 million
