Compared to the rest of the country in the ethnic-cultural sense? Yeah absolutely.
Nobody disputes that London has a substantially more diverse population than other places - but it’s still completely untrue to say “British people are few and far between” in London, even if you restrict it to White British (which your original claim did not).

I think they were objecting to the phrase "few and far between".
You really can't use it to describe a situation of almost 2 in 5.
If 2 in every 5 cars you see are red you can't say red cars are few and far between.

Oh sure. I was speaking relatively.
