Over 50% of UK adults are single?

According to the latest research and statistics, 51% of people over 16 in the United Kingdom are single.

Data from the 2011 census reveals that over half of the adult population in Britain is 'available'. And of the top ten locations with the highest concentration of single people, unsurprisingly 7 are in the capital.

So London's reputation for being a big, lonely city would seemingly ring true.

However, as always, the statistics might not tell 100% of the story.

Unmarried couples who live together and would happily describe themselves as 'taken', actually count as single in these figures.

So maybe after all Valentine's Day wasn't such a damp squib for over half the British population as the numbers would suggest.
