Is London France鈥檚 Sixth Largest City?

More or Less

Available for over a year

The Mayor of London, British journalists and commentators have trotted out this "fact" a number of times over the last few years to illustrate just how popular the UK鈥檚 capital is with its neighbours across the Channel. It appears that Nicolas Sarkozy may have said it as far back as 2008. But could there really be 300,000 French people in London and would they really want to leave France for the UK anyway? Wesley Stephenson and Charlotte McDonald brush off their best French to find out the answer.
