Dear lufbra-ga,

The latest figures come from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister,
report on Housing Statistics 2004 (published Dec 2004).

In London as at 31st March 2003 there were 3,123,000 dwellings in London.
Owner occupied 1,856,000
Rented privately or with a job or employment 489,000
Rented from Registered Social Landlords 279,000
Rented from Local Authorites 500,000

If you require it, you may find other housing information on this page.

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.

One housing report from 2003 gives the following statistics for 2002.
