On this occasion, Michael, I'll agree with you. The breakdown for London is as follows:-
White: 59.7% Black: 13.3% Asian: 18.4% Other: 3.4% Mixed: 5.0% |

No matter where you move you'll find it hard find somewhere that is as integrated and diverse as London.

And are these ethnicities really living in mingled proximity? This isn't a rhetorical question -- I haven't been to London for many years and don't know the answer.

Actually I'm a little surprised that London is only 59.7% white. In New York City, San Francisco, and San Jose, I can't go to work, walk down the street, or move into a neighborhood without being in close proximity to non whites but I don't sense the same in London.

Even the street names are dual language, English and a Pakistani alphabet (I don't recall which one). Turn onto Brick Lane and about every third store is a curry house, and they're very good, and dirt cheap to boot! .... Or take a Jack the Ripper walking tour, because it is the same area, and interestingly in Victorian times it was a predominantly Jewish area! Even Bloom's the somewhat famous kosher restaurant on Aldgate has closed, though it hung on until 1996.
Dirt cheap may be relative, my preference was the Lahore down Commercial Road, but that has gone a bit swanky. |

The Lahore Kebab House, in that little side street just off Commercial Rd? .... I ate there a number of times in the mid 90's! :)

Ha, that was a regular of ours too, in the late 80s/early 90s.....think it must have been a different place that Boiler was talking about, cos swanky it was not!
It was certainly a bit of a rat hole, last time I was in there was nearly 2 years ago, much much bigger ground floor, colour TV's, very different. |

The diversity is there in the city like you pointed
out. But the neighbourhoods are seggregated in ny. In London it's much more integrated. |

Westchester adjoins the Bronx, and is substantially a dormitory for NYC, so it IS a suburb of NYC. Commuting from Greenwich is much more challenging to commute from, and is perhaps comparable to, say, Brighton, Swindon, or Cambridge.
