Impact of Eurostar and HS1 on growth
• 3.8m French tourists in 2012– No. 1 origin country!
• 350,000 French nationals in London– France’s 6th city

But other forecasts point to faster growth
• ONS forecast 16% or + 9.0 million growth in England and Wales to 2035
• If London growth continues as before this would imply +26% growth over next 20 years or + 100,000 people each year
• Other commentators, eg Lord Adonis and London Assembly Transport Committee, agree
