Detailed explanation-1: -London’s population soared from 60, 000 in 1520 to 120, 000 in 1550, 200, 000 in 1600, and 375, 000 in 1650, making it the largest and fastest-growing city in all of Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -London’s population grew from about 50, 000 or 60, 000 in 1520, to an estimated 200, 000 in 1600.
Detailed explanation-3: -It also grew in population, with the number of Londoners increasing from over 100, 000 in 1550 to about 200, 000 in 1600.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1500, London had about 50, 000 people. By 1700, over 500, 000 people called London home! Immigration, or people moving into the city, was one of the main reasons that London’s population kept growing.
Detailed explanation-5: -It grew to well over three million by 1860, and six and a half million by 1900. In part, this was down to improved mortality rates. Because of improvements in sanitation, building standards and food supplies, London ceased to be a sink of mortality for rural immigrants.
