A London-based artist has created a number of images mapping London's rich diversity borough-by-borough.

Using information from the 2011 census of the city, Yanko Tihov constructed a map of the city showing the commonest three or four non-British nationalities in every borough.

The image is constructed of 32 passports in total, with each placed in the area where the various passport holders are most likely to reside. Tihov said he hoped the stunning array of passports brings "hope and unity,"

Thirty versions of the pictures are on display at theTAG Fine Arts centre in Islington.
