HOMELESSNESS IN LONDON LONDON TOTAL 3,755 HOMELESS LOCATE YOUR BOROUGH Coinciding with London’s housing problem, homelessness is continuing to rise in the city with more families, and individuals being priced out, and displaced to roam the streets. This map plots the difference of homelessness figures by borough.

THE COMPARISON OF EACH BOROUGH The darker the shade of the borough the more homeless people there are.
BOROUGH WITH THE HIGHEST RATE OF HOMELESSNESS With 315 left homeless, Lambeth consists of the highest amount, compared to other boroughs in London!
