  1. Since the local MP is from a mixed-race background I thought it might be interesting to look at the percentage of people in that category for each ward of this constituency according to the 2001 census:

    Brixton Hill: 5.6%
    Clapham Common: 3.4%
    St Leonard’s: 4.7%
    Streatham Hill: 5.1%
    Streatham South: 4.8%
    Streatham Wells: 5.4%
    Thornton: 4.1%
    Tulse Hill: 5.4%
