The number of households in London that do not meet the bedroom standard over the three-year period 2002–03, 2003–04 and 2004–05 was 194,000.Information on compliance with the statutory overcrowding standard is not collected systematically and reliable estimates for London on this basis are not available. However, in the autumn of 2001, it was estimated that 25,000 households across the whole of England were living in conditions that breached these standards. This was based on data from the ““Survey of English Housing”” for the period 1997–98 to 1999–2000 and from the 1996 ““English House Condition Survey””.

There are two measures of overcrowding—the statutory definition and the bedroom standard.Based on the bedroom standard, the number of children living in overcrowded households over the three-year period 2002–03, 2003–04 and 2004–05 was (a) 275,000 in London and (b) 880,000 in England. The total number of overcrowded households in England on this basis is estimated to be around 500,000.Information on compliance with the statutory standard is not collected centrally. Using data from the ““Survey of English Housing”” for the period 1997–98 to 1999–2000 and from the 1996 ““English House Condition Survey”” it was estimated that there were 25,000 households in England that were so overcrowded that the statutory standard was breached. However, reliable estimates for London on this basis are not available—neither are figures for the number of children that live in statutory overcrowded households.
