100,000 quit London

People are quitting London's high-crime boroughs in record numbers, it is revealed today.

Almost 100,000 people left the capital last year, with Brent and Lambeth the worst affected.

Southwark and Lewisham have also seen large numbers quit to live in other parts of the country.

Manchester and Birmingham are also affected by the urban flight.

The figures, from the Office for National Statistics, show people are moving to the South-East, South-West, Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
