Interactive graphic: 230,000 quit London for the regions Last year, more than 230,000 people fled the capital in favour of the regions, including more than 90,000 to the south east and around 58,000 to the east of England. Taking into account those moving into London from elsewhere, there was a net outflow of 40,000 people. But many of those moving from London are also travelling to the south east, within easy reach of the capital. Only nine of the 32 London boroughs, including Havering, Bexley and Bromley, have seen a net inflow from the rest of the UK. In total, there were an estimated 2.59 million moves within England and Wales in the year ending June 2011, a 1 per cent reduction on the previous year. The UK traditionally has a high rate of internal migration compared to other countries in the EU, with around 3.5 per cent of the population typically moving each year. Birmingham has the fastest turnover in population: an estimated number of 38,039 people moved into the city and 43,554 people moved out. Young adults are the most likely to migrate, with one in five 19-year-olds uprooting to a different local authority - thought to be largely made up of those starting university. After that, the proportion of those moving falls throughout their twenties and thirties before stabilising around 2 or 3 per cent of the population in middle age, as demonstrated in the chart above.
