Peruvians in the United Kingdom or Peruvian Britons ( Spanish: Peruanos en el Reino Unido) are Peruvian immigrants to the United Kingdom, who form part of the larger Latin American community in the UK. In 2001, the number of Peruvian-born immigrants was the sixth largest amongst all Latin American immigrants to the UK. [1]
According to the 2001 UK Census, 4,066 Peruvian-born people were living in the UK. [1] As such, Peru was the 107th most common birthplace for UK residents, and sixth out of all Latin American countries, behind Mexico but ahead of Venezuela. [1] This is smaller than such communities in the UK as Brazilians, Colombians and Ecuadorians. [2] The 2011 census recorded 6,659 people born in Peru resident in England, 134 in Wales, [3] 358 in Scotland [4] and 95 in Northern Ireland. [5]
Countries such as the United States and Spain have much larger Peruvian communities than the United Kingdom. [1] Political stability in Peru, unlike for example Colombia and Ecuador, means that the number of Peruvians claiming asylum in the UK is low. [6]
