Overview
21,283 Trinidad and Tobago-born people were living in the UK during the 2001 Census.[2] This makes the Tridadian British community the fourth largest on earth, behind that of Trinidad and Tobago itself, the Trinidadian American and the Trinidadian 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 other Anglophone countries in the Western 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 the British Empire and remains in the Commonwealth 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 the Black British category, Indian British or Other South Asian under the Asian British category. People of mixed race would have responded to Mixed British.[3]
