"London's population is rising at a faster rate than any other part of the country because of high immigration and birth rate and now stands at more than 8.4 million, official figures revealed today.
"The Office for National Statistics said that the number of people living in the capital rose by just over 108,000 in the year to June 2013.
"The rise - which is equivalent to half the population of Westminster or Islington - was driven by high migration from overseas, which added 79,500 to London’s population during the 12 month period, and a fresh baby boom which brought an extra 131,000 children into the capital."
