It really depends where you live. In you live in Norfolk or Devon, then you're not living in an "Islamised" area. However, there are places that feel more that way. I was on the Edgware Road in London around ten years ago, and there was a large visible Arab population (to the extent one or two even wore traditional costumes) and people smoking hookahs outside cafés.

A more reliable guide would be how many women you see wearing hijabs, burqas, niqabs etc. In some areas this is more common than others. You will see more of these in Birmingham than Berwick upon Tweed.

So it really depends where you are.
