Growth and decline in London Methodism, 1980 to the present

The trajectory of London Methodism has been, mostly, downward in recent decades. This chapter explores its numerical decline but notes differentiation within such decline. In particular, Inner London Methodism has been stable or growing since 1980 whilst Outer London Methodism has halved in size. London Methodism is also being significantly reshaped by its response to shifts in the ethnic and cultural make-up of the capital.
