From the Office of National Statistics the 2001 census reports 783,000 people considering themselves to be Black or Black British people in London - about 11% of the 7.2 million total. There are a further 866,000 Asian or Asian British (about 12%). There are 226,000 mixed race people (3%) some of whom may identify as Black.

Some areas of London have larger proportions of Black members of the community, mostly the more economically deprived South and East London. Lewisham, Hackney and Lambeth boroughs have about 25% Black or Black British. About 50% of Newham and Tower Hamlets borough's consider themselves to be non-white. About 1,000 of the 7,000 people who live in the city centre consider themselves to be non-white, the smallest proportion for all London administrative districts.

Over half of all black or black British people in England live in London and about a third of all Asians or Asian British in England live in London.
