The maps led me to wondering what a similar diagram of cities in the UK would look like, and I found a map of England and Wales with dots coloured by race.

It's much more mixed. Where black/white/asian areas still exist the boundaries tend to be pretty blurred.

In the UK's case, I'd think that you'd see relatively little race-based self-segregation but a lot of class-based; I've always heard that the UK is classist but not very racist, and that non-whites tend to be higher-class than a lot of the locals.

Still quite a bit of segregation, but yes, much less than many (most?) large American cities.
