1. Queensbury South - 21.1% Romanian passport holders
2. Edgware West - 18.1% Romanian passport holders
3. Kenton East - 17.4% Romanian passport holder
The MSOAs with the highest % Romanian passport holders in England and Wales 2021 are all located in Harrow East.

I had no idea there were so many Romanians in this area. I wonder why they've congregated there particularly

Most of the Bulgarians I have met who have spent time living in England had lived in grotty areas in East London (Barking, Newham etc) and I kind of imagined it would be the same for Romanians. But I haven't been to Romania so haven't had those conversations. I have met one or two Romanians living in England but almost by definition they have tended to live in the places I've met them (Watford or whatever) I'm now interested to see spinach's figures for Bulgarians |

I interview as part of my job in many different parts of London in the western half, and while I have had Bulgarian respondents I can't say that I can think of an area where I've seen any multiplicity of them

There is a Bulgarian restaurant in Surbiton, so I guess there is likely to be a Bulgarian community in that area

I'm unfamiliar with this area and was surprised with the high concentration of Romanians living round here. Most MSOAs which are 10%+ Romanian are all located in the London Boroughs of Harrow or Brent. There's also a high portion of Romanians living in East London round East Ham, Beckton and Stratford. I presume the cheap housing in the areas above are the main reasons. Another statistic - Wealdstone South - 3.0% Roma (one of the highest MSOA for Roma in England and Wales) |
