21,283 Trinidad and Tobago-born people were living in the UK during the 2001 Census. [ [http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/18/23/34792376.xls Place of birth data collated by OECD based on 2001 UK Census] ] This makes the Tridadian British community the third largest on earth, behind that of
Trinidad and Tobago itself, the Trinidadian American community, and just ahead of theTrinidadian Canadian community.The largest wave of Trinidadian people to the UK was in the mid 20th century, when Caribbeans and people from former
British Colonies were encouraged to move to the UK for work, although there was Trinidadian migration to the UK before and continues after. The UK,USA ,Canada and otherAnglophone countries in theWestern World prove most popular for Trinidadian emmigrants, due to the close language links (English being the most common language in all countries, inc. Trinidad and Tobago). The UK and Trinidad and Tobago maintain close links, especially since Trinidad and Tobago was once part of theBritish Empire and remains in theCommonwealth of Nations .Trinidad and Tobago is a diverse nation with some 40% of people being
East Indian /Indo-Trinidadian , 40% Black/Afro-Trinidadian and 20%Multiracial . In the 2001 Census, people of Trinidadian descent in the UK were most likely to have responded to Black Caribbean, under theBlack British category,Indian British or Other South Asian under theAsian British category. People of mixed race would have responded toMixed British . [ [http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census/ Estimates for Black Caribbean population] ]Famous Trinidadian British people
