In the County of London, in tenements of less than 10 rooms,

to two persons per room inclusive the number of persons in London
was 554 per 1,000, and in Wandsworth 494 per 1,000, while the
proportion having more than two persons per room was in London
1,777 per 1,000 and in Wandsworth 62 per 1,000. Compared with
the other Metropolitan Boroughs, Wandsworth was second highest
having less than one person per room, the highest being Lewisham,
from one to two persons per room Wandsworth was ninth, while
more than two persons per room Wandsworth was second lowest,
