Our response:
Further to my earlier email where I provided information related to the London's diverse population 2023 report, published last year, I can confirm that the GLA does not hold further information in scope of your request.
This is the most up to date version of the analysis.
The GLA’s methodology for the 2023 report is published on the second tab. The 17 ethnic sub-groups detailed in the report are the detailed APS categories (reference ETHEW18) but excludes the White Gypsy or Irish Traveller group for which there is too small a sample for reliable estimates. The APS can be accessed via the UK Data Service link below under certain conditions. You may wish to do your own analysis to get the most up to date figures.
