A estimation using data from Latin American embassies suggests that there could between 700,000 and 1,000,000 Latin Americans residing in the United Kingdom, with Brazilians and Colombians constituting the two largest subgroups.[7]
According to the 2001 UK Census, 62,735 Latin Americans in the United Kingdom were born in their respective nations of origin.[8] There were also a further 1,338 people who stated their birthplace as 'South or Central America' (note not all South American countries are Latin).[8] In 2009, the Office for National Statistics estimated that the number of Brazilian-born people in the UK alone had risen to around 60,000 and the number of Colombian-born to around 22,000. Estimates for other Latin American countries were not made because the sample size did not allow for estimation of the size of smaller groups with sufficient degree of accuracy.[9]
