The London Mayor's Office also have some information on London
Housing. In particular the London Housing Strategy Evidence Base 2005.
I have examined this report and it quotes the same information as
detailed above, but you may be interested in the rest of its contents.

They also produce a number of other publications in connection with
houseing and these are detailed here.
