A Chilean Briton ( _es. Británico chileno) is a person of Chilean ancestry living in the United Kingdom (born and/or raised in the UK), they can be either British citizens or non-citizen immigrants.

History

When approximately 2,500 Chilean exiles (including businessmen, professors, and students) arrived in Great Britain, they were met by a small community of Latin people who were already there. Especially in the 1970s right wingers fleeing from the Allende administration and later leftists fleeing the Pinochet regime, the Chilean community has settled well in the country, and the majority are of European (other than Spanish) ancestry. The size of the British Chilean population is hard to estimate as many have gone back to Chile, or move fluidly between several places.

Population

According to the 2001 UK Census, 5,131 Chilean-born people were living in the UK, representing just over 8% of the UK's Latin American-born community.
