It grew from 2.7 million Muslims living in England and Wales in 2011, equivalent to 4.9 percent of the population.

London is the city with the highest concentration of Muslims. 15% of Londoners describe themselves as Muslim or from 12.6% IN 2021. This means that more than 1.3 million Muslims live in London alone.
Since 2011, The area with the highest proportion of residents describing themselves as Muslim was the Tower Hamlets area with 39.9%, from 38.0% IN 2011. Other areas with a high proportion of people answering as Muslim include Blackburn, me Darween 35.0 % in Newham 34.8%.
