Notes

If an ISO currency code begins with X, this indicates that the currency is not specific to
one particular country.

BCEAO = Banque Centrale des Etats de l'Afrique de l'Ouest.

BEAC = Banque des Etats de l'Afrique Centrale.

The decimal places column indicates the number of decimal places used for amounts
(not exchange rates). For example, JPY has 0 decimal places, indicating that there are
no sub-units. Most currencies have 2 decimal places, indicating that there are 100 subunits (e.g. cents, pence etc) in a major unit. Some Middle Eastern currencies have 3
decimal places, indicating that there are 1000 sub-units in a major unit.

In order to ensure that currency tables in databases are correct and current, we
recommend to our customers that they subscribe to ISO 4217.

If the currency table in your database lists incorrect currency names such as "British Pound",
"United States Dollar", "Maltese Pound", "Rouble", "Florin" or "Kronor", then there is a good
chance that other entries in the table are also wrong. You may download the above correct data
in CSV format from here.

At some point in the New Year it will be formally announced that Greater Londons population is
the biggest in its history. City Hall number crunchers are trying to pin down a date to proclaim
that the previous high of 8.615 million has been topped.
Some may be surprised that the present record figure was hit not recently but in 1939, the first
year of World War II. London survived the Blitz but spent the nextfour decades thinning out. The
1981 census showed a fall in population to just over 6.6 million. Then came the upturn. By 2011,
numbers had risen above 8 million again. Now forecasters say were surging towards 9
million by 2020, 10 million by 2030 and even 11 million by 2050.

This ongoing boom, driven primarily by birthrate, is the context for the capitals campaigns for
more transport infrastructure, more housing and more control over its own fiscal and social
policy affairs in an age of public finance austerity. It also provides the backdrop for political
debates about how London should cope with containing more people than ever before. But,
looking back to those post-war decades when numbers slumped, it is impressive how familiar
some of the debates are and how little some things have changed.
In his excellent 1977 book London: The Heartless City, David Wilcox explored the transport
dilemmas of a capital facing a future which, at that time, seemed threatened by continuing
decline. Car use was rising and gridlock feared. In 1967, Labour had gone into the Greater
London Council elections backing the creation of a new and efficient network of roads for the
motor age, concentrating on new Outer London rings. There would be a motorway box
around Inner London, the party declared. The Conservatives did not disagree, supporting the
same approach into the 1970s. As Wilcox documented, Labour then changed its mind. By 1973
it was rejecting the reckless and irrelevant Tory plan for ringways which it said would only
attract more traffic and congestion.
Where are the two big parties today? Still quite attached to the motor age, it seems. Car use
and ownership in London is on the wane, yet congestion isexpected to increase. As outer east
London develops, theres a Labour-Tory consensus that new road links are required to span the
Thames east of Tower Bridge. Boris Johnson, while resisting pressure from Conservative AMs
to do away with the congestion charge, is hatching plans to revive the ringway concept below
ground. Darryl Chamberlain, a firm opponent of the Silvertown Tunnel, contendsthat it doesnt
make much difference if we bury the damn thing. The case for extra roads of any kind needs
to address the objections he raises.
London Population 2014
The latest official estimate of the population of London comes from the Office of National
Statistics. According to their data, the population of Greater London in July 2010 was 7,825,200.
To figure out how many people live in London, we can look at the most recent census. The
census is taken every 10 years, with the last one completed on March 27th 2011. Based on the
2011 numbers, the population of London stands at 8,173,941.
London is the largest city in the United Kingdom by some distance (the next largest city in the
UK - Birmingham - has a population of almost exactly 1 million), and the largest city in the
European Union (more than twice as large as its nearest rival, Berlin).

It is the third largest city in the continent of Europe, behind Istanbul (13.5 million)
andMoscow (11.5 million), and the 22nd most populous city in the world, slightly smaller
thanNew York (20th position) and Lagos (21st).
Different definitions of London
Estimating London's population is made more complicated by the various ways of defining the
city. Here are just a few of the ways of breaking down London's geography along with estimates
of their population.

City of London 11,700 (2010 estimate)

Inner London 2,859,400 (2001)

Greater London 7,172,036 (2001)

London Metropolitan Area 12-18 million (number of residents depends on the definition
you use)

Generally, throughout this article, we've used the term London for simplicity, but when we're
referring to modern day London, we really mean Greater London.
London's Population History
Although there had been settlements in the area for centuries, London first became
recognisable as a major population centre during the Roman occupation of Britain. Londinium,
as it was known, quickly became the capital of Rome's Britannia province, and by the 2nd
century AD Londinium was a thriving trade centre with a population of around 60,000 people.
After the Romans withdrew, the settlement of Londinium was more or less abandoned in favour
of Lundenwic, a mile down the river. Lundenwic had a much reduced population of around
10,000 people, and its vulnerability to Viking raids eventually led to it being gradually moved
back East to the old Londinium site to take advantage of the old Roman city walls.
From there, the city prospered and grew steadily again, reaching a population of 100,000 for the
first time, somewhere around 1500 AD. As the British Empire grew, so did London's importance
as one of the world's major trading cities, and shortly after 1800, London reached the 1,000,000
residents milestone for the first time.
Industrialisation led to increased urbanisation and this, combined with London's increasing
prominence, led to some dramatic population increases. Between the 1801 and 1891 censuses
the number of people living in London increased more than fivefold from 959,300 in 1801 to
5,572,012 in 1891 and for much of the 19th century and the early 20th century London was
the largest city in the world.
The first half of the 20th century saw sustained and fairly rapid growth, and Lodons population
reached its highest point in 1939. By the outbreak of the second world war, 8,615,245 people
were living in London, although by then it had just lost its status as the largest city in the world
(to New York).

From the end of the second world war right through until the 1980s London
population gradually decline, as the city lost it's status as the hub of Empire
world's greatest trading cities. By the time of the 1981 census, the number of
London had fallen to just 6,607,513 people a fall of more than two million, or
just four decades.

Boom times came again in the 1980s though, and increasing prosperity combined with
increased immigration has once again resulted in an increase in population. Just 20 years later,
the population had increased to over 7 million (7,172,036 to be precise, according to the 2001
census), and further increases are expected which should push the population well past 8
million, and possibly even to 9 million, by the time of the 2021 census. The current 2021
projection puts the London population at 9,221,300 according to the London Datastore.

The population of London is on the verge of reaching an all-time high, finally exceeding the preSecond World War peak of just over 8.615m.
The Greater London Authority estimates that the city will soon welcome its 8,615,246th
inhabitant, the highest population since the eve of the war in 1939.
As the population figure is based on GLA forecasts, experts do not when the exact peak will be but some say it could even be today.

The last peak in London's population was on the eve of the Second World War in 1939.

Statisticians say the record-breaking Londoner is likely to be born in the first few weeks of 2015,
in one of the capital's outer boroughs where population growth rates are highest.
The news represents an extraordinary turnaround for London, which lost more than 2million
people in the world war and once had a population of just 6.6 million.
The population is now forecast to continue at an annual rate of around 100,000 - the equivalent
of a new borough every three years - with the population set to hit 10m by 2030.

Census result shows increase in population of London as it tops 8 million

The population of London on census day (27 March 2011) was 8.2 million, an increase of 12 per
cent from 2001 when it was 7.3 million. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) published the
first results from the 2011 Census today.
London was the greatest-growing region across England and Wales, ahead of three regions that
grew by 8 per cent South East, East of England and East Midlands.
By comparison the population across the whole of England and Wales increased by 7 per cent
to 56.1 million, the largest growth in population in any 10-year period since census taking began
in 1801.

Jil Matheson, National Statistician said:

"I'd like to thank everyone in London for their support. The 2011 Census has been a resounding
success and I am proud of the incredible effort that has been put in. It is a rich source of
information about the population and its characteristics. Across England and Wales around 19
out of 20 people responded and we have excellent statistical methods for ensuring we have a
complete estimate of the whole population. These statistics will provide valuable information for
planners, policy-makers and the public for years to come. "
Most local authorities in London saw their populations increase between 2001 and 2011,
although there was a decrease of 2.2 per cent in Kensington and Chelsea. Across all of England
and Wales 17 local authorities saw a decrease in population. The total population of England
and Wales was 56.1 million, of which 53.1 million were in England.
Nine of the 20 local authorities with the fastest population growth in England and Wales were in
London, and Tower Hamlets and Newham were the only authorities in England and Wales to
show growth of more than 20 per cent, with the fastest growth of all being 26.4 per cent in Tower
Hamlets. The largest local authority by population in London was Croydon with 363,400 people,
an increase of 28,300 (8.5 per cent) between 2001 and 2011.
The smallest was the City of London, with 7,400.
The 19 most densely populated local authorities in England and Wales were in London, with
Islington the most densely populated of all with 13,873 people per square kilometre, which
equates to about 140 people on a rugby pitch. Bromley was the least densely populated with
2,060 people per square kilometre, which is still more than five times the average population
density of England and Wales as a whole which equates to about 21 people per rugby pitch.
The local authority in London with the largest proportion of people aged 65 and over was
Havering with 18 per cent; by contrast, only 6 per cent of the population in Tower Hamlets were
in this age group, the lowest figure in not only London but all of England and Wales. The largest
proportion of people aged 19 and under in London (and England and Wales) is in Barking and
Dagenham with 31 per cent; by contrast, 11 per cent of the population of the City of London is in
this age group, the smallest proportion in England and Wales.
There has been an increase of 400,000 (13 per cent) under-five-year-olds throughout England
and Wales between 2001 and 2011. This was particularly pronounced in London; where there
were 112,700 under-fives compared with 2001, an increase of 24 per cent. Barking and
Dagenham has the highest proportion in this age group with 10 per cent, and the City of London
the lowest (3 per cent).
The total number of households in London was 3.3 million. The City of London also has the
smallest average household size in England and Wales, with 1.6 people. By contrast, Newham
has an average household size of 3 people, the largest in England and Wales.

Glen Watson, Census Director said:

"The whole operation has worked well. We met our targets both for response and quality. Weve
had fantastic support from the public, and also from voluntary groups, community groups and
local authorities throughout England and Wales. Id like to say a big thank you to everyone
involved, including the 35,000 people who worked on the data collection and helped to make the
census a success."
