London - 300 languages spoken every day. The population is changing all the time, even though in different periods people from a same cultural background can concentrate within a specific area. These concentrations are not necessarily ghettos, and that is why they constantly change. Some of these areas, for instance, Whitechapel in the East End, used to have a very high percentage of Jewish people but nowadays there are Bangladeshi people. If you explore these neighborhoods, notice the signs and notices. They're all in different languages.

A story: the Australian man who got hit in his head and forgot his English! He could only speak his first or mother language! And when he started speaking, nobody knew what that language was. In one hour, the Police was able to find an interpreter! Guess what this language was? An Australian aboriginal language spoken by very few people in the world! And there was somebody else living in London who also spoke it!
