Initial migration from the West Indies accounted for a significant part of the population since the 1960s onwards. Around 10,000 Afro-Caribbeans were apart of Lambeths population in 1963.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Colour and the British electorate 1964: six case studies |url=https://www.abebooks.co.uk/first-edition/Colour-British-electorate-1964-case-studies/31301208823/bd |access-date=2025-02-22 |website=www.abebooks.co.uk |page=14 |language=en-GB |quote=None the less, by 1963 a survey’ carried out by the London Council of Social Service estimated that there were 10,000 West Indians in Lambeth, and according to well-informed West Indians living in the area this is almost certainly an underestimate.}}</ref>
