London has been described as having a "changing face" according to David Hill. London had a history of bringing young people to attend a university of to find employment. Families eventually would move out of the city when their children grew older or they would retire. However, a surprising demographic change has been happening causing new problems for the city. London is having population surges due to the impact of the increase of newborns. According to Hill," the boom is mostly driven by natural change." According to the Office of National Statistics, new births are an upward rise. "January to June 2012 recorded 134,000 new births, resulting in overcrowding." London, even becoming increasingly hectic is still a magnificent city to see.
