What percentage of London's population was born outside Britain?

The main idea being tested is how many people living in London were born outside the United Kingdom, which shows how diverse the city is. London has long attracted immigrants for work, study, and family ties, so a large share of residents are foreign-born. In recent census data, about one in three Londoners were born outside the UK, i.e., more than 30%. That’s why the option stating more than 30% is the best fit. The other figures—about 15%, less than 5%, or between 0 and 10%—underestimate the scale of London's foreign-born population and don’t reflect what the data show.
