Muslims in England are concentrated in London and major industrial regions.

Evidence

Of all Muslims in England, 25% live in Inner London, and 22% in Outer London; 10% live in Greater Manchester, 15% in the West Midlands and 11% in West Yorkshire. The census data provides insight into the ethnic diversity of Muslims in such areas. For Muslims, London is the most ethnically diverse city. Bangladeshis are the largest group among Muslims in Inner London. Outer London, however, demonstrates proportionately more Pakistanis, who make up around a third of the Muslim population here, with only 8% of Muslims being Bangladeshi. — A. Hussain, N.
