Almost 1.8 million people have moved to London from abroad in the past decade, the Bank of Scotland has found. However, nearly two million people moved away from the capital to other parts of Britain, the largest number lost to internal migration of any area in the UK. The South East of England was the most popular region for people to move to from elsewhere in the UK, while the North East and North West were the only UK regions to see an overall decline in their population.
