<P> The population of the current area of Greater London rose from about 1.1 million in 1801 (when only about 850,000 people were in the urban area, while 250,000 were living in villages and towns not yet part of London) to an estimated 8.6 million in 1939, but declined to 6.7 million in 1988, before starting to rebound in the 1990s . </P> <P> By 2006, the population had recovered to the level of 1970 (and the level of population in the 1920s). It is now approaching the 1939 peak . </P> <P> Figures here are for Greater London in its 2001 boundaries . Figures before 1971 have been reconstructed by the Office for National Statistics based on past censuses to fit the 2001 boundaries . Figures from 1981 onward are mid-year estimates (revised in August 2007), which are more accurate than the censuses, known to underestimate the population of London . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> 1891 </Td> <Td> 5--6 April </Td> <Td> 5,572,012 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1901 </Td> <Td> 31 March--1 April </Td> <Td> 6,506,954 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1911 </Td> <Td> 2--3 April </Td> <Td> 7,160,525 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1921 </Td> <Td> 19--20 June </Td> <Td> 7,386,848 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1931 </Td> <Td> 26--27 April </Td> <Td> 8,110,480 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1939 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 8,615,245 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1951 </Td> <Td> 8--9 April </Td> <Td> 8,196,978 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1961 </Td> <Td> 23--24 April </Td> <Td> 7,992,616 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1965 </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> Greater London formally created </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1971 </Td> <Td> 25--26 April </Td> <Td> 7,452,520 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1981 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 6,805,000 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 6,729,300 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1991 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 6,829,300 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2001 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 7,322,400 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2002 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 7,361,600 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2003 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 7,364,100 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 7,389,100 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2005 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 7,456,100 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2006 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 7,512,400 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2009 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 7,753,600 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2013 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 8,416,535 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2014 </Td> <Td> Mid-year estimate </Td> <Td> 8,546,761 </Td> </Tr> </Table>
