he capital has only taken 3% of all Syrian refugees given sanctuary in the UK since 2014, according to research by Citizens UK.
The charity found that out of the 1,337 Syrians who have been resettled to date through the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme, only 43 have been relocated to London.
Citizens UK collected the data through Freedom of Information requests made to London’s councils and from Refugee Welcome groups operating throughout the capital.
