Story summary
- In 2024, nearly 415,000 residents left London, producing a net migration loss of about 128,000.
- The departure is driven by high living costs, rising property prices, and crime, with relocation to northern cities like Birmingham and Manchester becoming attractive.
- Critics, including Laila Cunningham, a mayoral candidate, say Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, has failed to address these issues.
- Khan claims crime rates are down, but thefts and assaults have surged.
