    I thought London could have an extra month, cos londoners are special?
    Wait... no. I'm wrong there.

    If you have to ask, you've already missed it ;)

    You have until 6/5 to complete it online. Takes no more than 10 minutes.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Look.

    I believe on the last census only 30 odd people were fined. This year they have had over 3 million non returns. I wouldn't worry about getting fined.

    Census Day was 27/3. You asked when return was due. All the info is on the census form itself or on the website.
    In London they have already started chasing up non-returns door to door.

    Think you need to read your own link! 27th March wasn't a deadline.

    There is a completely different approach to non-returns this time round, so don't rely on the previous census' statistics for prosecutions to calculate whether you will be prosecuted this time round.

    They started knocking on doors after 6th April - so I guess 6th April was the deadline.
