Pakistanis in London are London's 5th largest minority ethnic group, and its 2nd largest Muslim community, after the Bangladeshi. There are about 240,000 Pakistanis residing in London. Although there are more Pakistanis estimated in Birmingham than in London, London's Pakistani community may be the UK's most influential. Most Pakistanis can be found in East and West London, although the community is spread over the whole city.
Although the Pakistani community is much smaller than the Indian community in London, Pakistani Londonians have been influential players in politics and London society, since the first Pakistanis arrived in this city.
London has Pakistani residents from all over Pakistan and from all different ethnic groups which makes it different from the other UK cities. In Birmingham, Bradford and other famous cities for its Pakistani communities, there are nearly only Pakistanis from the Punjab and [] Kashmir] areas.
