SUMMARY - In the United Kingdom, it is reported that there are 123 confirmed cases of measles in the city of London for the year 2026 as part of a total of 340 suspected cases. Between January 1, 2024 and February 23, 2026, there have been 1,117 in "England."
NOTE - For international readers, "England" can be both a generic and specific term, meaning either the 'country' of England within the United Kingdom or the entire United Kingdom. Given that this is a UK website, it is probably being specific to the 'country' of England.
