London has become the most bigoted region in the UK

Londoners least liberal on homosexuality and pre-marital sex

London is known as a bastion of liberal values. But by some measures the capital city is less progressive than you might think.  Findings from the British Social Attitudes survey found that residents were the least likely to say that pre-marital sex and homosexuality were rarely or never wrong. 

Just 73 per cent held this view about sex before marriage and 67 per cent about same-sex relationships. 

The trend is despite London having the largest proportion of gay, lesbian and bisexual people in the country. 

Researchers said the regional variations were down to "religious differences" between different areas of the country and Londoners' social conservatism was "largely driven by religious factors".

The statement you make in the title straight up does not appear in the article. A quick computation (based on a 47% religious figure, in the UK), will even tell us that London performs better than the national average.

 

The astute reader will also notice that the posted image does not appear in the article, and has rather limited relevance, with a intolerance of around 30% and a muslim population of around 12.5%.
