Muslims
The Muslim population of Britain is concentrated in the major urban areas, particularly in London (38% of the total), Leicester, and the northwest (Greater Manchester and Blackburn). Within these cities the Muslim population is typically concentrated in particular areas. In London, where Muslims contribute 8% of the population, they are found particularly in the north and east. The east London boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Newham have very large Muslim minorities (36% and 24% respectively).
In Scotland, Muslims are found mainly near Glasgow in East Renfrewshire (especially in the ward of Pollokshields East, where they are 40% of the population).
