FACTS ABOUT BRITISH BANGLADESHIS
According to the most reliable ‘official’ national enumeration – the decennial
Census – in 2001; 283,063 Bangladeshis lived in the UK, i.e. 0.5% of the total
population.
54% of the Bangladeshi population live in the Greater London area and a high
proportion of these London inhabitants were located within the inner boroughs.
Indeed, the ‘heartland’ of the London Bangladeshi community is to be found in
Tower Hamlets, which contained 65,553 Bangladeshi residents or 22.8% of the UK
Bangladeshi population.
The third generation of Tower Hamlets’ Bangladeshi population – those ‘born and
bred’ in the area - constitutes approximately half of the community.
Tower Hamlets can be seen as part of an inner ring of London boroughs running
from Westminster, Islington and Camden round to Hackney, Newham and Southwark.
In 2001, 118,346 Bangladeshis - 41.8% of the British Bangladeshi population -
lived in this inner London ring.
However, other concentrations are also significant. The largest Bangladeshi
population outside London is located in:
• Oldham – 9,817 in 2001 or 4.5% of the city’s population,
• While 20,836 are scattered across Birmingham (2% of the city’s population),
• 7,642 in Luton (4%)
• 4,967 in Bradford (1%).
