Word correction needed ?
Since some Tamils live in the London area but not in the named places, I suggest that "namely" should become "mainly". 94.30.84.71 (talk) 22:25, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Unsourced demographic statistics
While Cordless is correct in saying that a large number of Tamils are concentrated in Harrow, nowhere can I find statistics detailing which boroughs they are found in. Considering that the British Hindu community is centred in West London's borough of Harrow, I would presume that that's where most Tamils are found.

While I would also refrain from adding information on Harrow without a good source, I think it is best to remove the list of boroughs until an actual source is found.

 * I mean London, not Harrow... "large number of Tamils are concentrated in London". Coffeeloverlarge (talk) 22:28, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It's all in the census source that is cited, Coffeeloverlarge. If you open the spreadsheet and go to the CT0010EW_Numbers tab, you'll see that 19,734 of 25,058 Tamils recorded in the 2011 England and Wales census were resident in London. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:31, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Having been reverted once, you also need to discuss the matter here, rather than continuing to reinstate your preferred version of the text. If you keep doing this, you risk being blocked for edit warring. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:35, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
