Population

According to the 2001 UK Census, 4,066 Peruvian-born people were living in the UK, representing just over 6% of the UK's Latin American-born community. Peruvians are a small but notable community in the British Latin American population. Most of them came since 1960 for either political asylum and economic reasons. Some Peruvians are of British ancestry at the first place, but the ethnic composition of Peruvians in Britain includes African, Italian, German and Swiss, Chinese, and Japanese ancestries.
