Migrants, refugees and asylum seekers add to the vibrant diversity of London’s cultural, social and community life.

Migrant workers help to make London the powerhouse of Britain’s economy and the Mayor wants to ensure that migration benefits all Londoners. The Mayor is determined to manage the pressures that population growth can put on communities and services. He also wants to stop the exploitation of migrants and promote opportunity.
