Israelis in The United Kingdom - Demographics

Demographics

In 2001 Israel was the 68th most common birthplace for British residents; some 11,892 Israeli natives called the UK home. It is unknown how many British-born people are of Israeli descent, as this was not listed as a separate ethnic group in the 2001 Census (estimates vary from 7,000 to 70,000). The majority of Israelis in the UK live in London and, in particular, the densely populated Jewish area of Golders Green. The vast majority of Israeli Britons follow the Jewish faith. The most common languages amongst the Israeli British community are Hebrew, Arabic and British English.
