I think most Arabs live in West London. I do not know the specific areas but there are sizeable communities in Ealing, Alperton, Wembley, Edgeware, Sheperds Bush & Kensington (all West London).
1)
Apparently most Afghans also live in West London, but I find it hard to image any hood in London containing more Afghans than Croydon.
My old college even had human rights quotations in many langauges (Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Kurdish, Tamil, Pashto and Hindi) on the steps of each floor to try and convince all the freshies to behave in a civilized order, like at the airport.

Wembley is North. I went there for my whip.
Full of Gujjus, Pakis and such.
1)
Yeah, Afghans are mainly in West, i'm sure of that.
Acton, Hayes, Southall, Harrow, Brent (NW) etc are all Afghan strongholds and the Afghans are slowly invading the surrounding areas too.
2)
North weezy bro.
Most Arabs in west or northwest.

I think the Pashtuns in London are mainly Kabulis, Kandarharis, Laghmanis & Wardags (main ones being Kandarharis and Wardags).
Any other major communities I missed out?
Most of them are minicab drivers lol.
The Pukhtunkhwa Pashtuns generally tend to live in the more traditionally industrial cities in the North like Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Bradford etc.

Are there many Tajiks?
I have only met a few Tajiks here, most are Pashtuns and Hazaras. Tajiks in our ends tend to mix more with the Iranians and like the Pashtuns, they also walk around in large numbers but they don't make as much noise and aren't that annoying. Hazaras walk in twos or threes. Iranians walk alone because there aren't many Iranian gangs and Iranians from various parts/groups don't fight each other like Pashtuns and Tajiks.
Most Afghans are Pashtuns in Croydon and they are mostly teenage boys who run around wildly in what they think are gangs and beef with the predominent local Black gang DSN.
They hate me since my loyalties lie with Tamils and Pakistanis, who are their rivals.

Kandaharis and Nangarhais are all I've seen here.
Few Kabulian and no Wardags.
Pashtunkhwa Pashtuns are present in Croydon and the Afghans mix with them the most.
Any guy operating a mobile phone stand in ends is Afghan.
My mum's best friend is a Tajik I think...I dunno but she's a farsi-speaking Afghan and looks Tajik so that's what I assume.
There are lots of farsiwaans (probably Tajiks) in West/North-West London. I always used to go to their houses for birthdays and such as a kid and would always run into trouble when confronted by their farsi-speaking parents whom I couldn't understand at all. For the last 7 years though, I haven't really kept track of farsiwaan activities and socialised with farsiwaans. I had a friend in my class who was a farsiwaan - he, incidentally, moved to San Diego in California a couple of years back. But yeah, trust me, there are lots. Probably many of them in Southall going to that rubbish 'Kabul restaurant' there heh.
True about the gang thing. I know lots of Afghans who are into gangs and that stuff. The whole situation has changed a lot though from before.

No Wardags? Interesting.
Though the Wardags are almost exclusively in West London. I know hundreds of Wardag families here. There are definetly some in East Ham though.
I don't really know about the Pashtunkhwa Pashtuns in London tbh, never really interacted or known any of them in my whole time here. I'd assume they are mostly in the South or East.

I haven't eaten any Afghan food in this country. I miss it.

Wardags are a richer tribe and control many things in Afghanistan but I have never met many.
Wardags have always had strong positions in the central governments of Afghanistan (particularly Defence & Education sectors). Most of those Wardags obviously live in Kabul. <--Though it should be noted that many are not 'Kabulified' speaking Dari at home and all that stuff. The vast majority of those living in Kabul are still tribal Wardags and visit their rural Wardag on a regular basis since its only a short drive away.
However, Wardag province is among the poorest in the whole country. Most revenue there comes from expatriates transferring money. It is a very underdeveloped province and Wardags on the whole are a poor but hard working people.
You can find Wardags all over the world i'm sure. A proportionally greater amount of Wardag province's population has left it compared to other provinces of the country. That's due to the intense fighting there and its vicinity to the capital.
