History

Austrians have been present in what is now the UK for centuries as merchants, traders and diplomats, but it was only during the 1930s when Austrians came to the UK in significant numbers. The vast majority of these were Austrian Jews who fled to the UK to escape Nazi persecution during the Third Reich or 'National Socialist Period' (1933–1945).[2]

Population

According to the 2001 UK Census, 19,511 Austrian-born people were living in Great Britain, which was a drop of around 5% from 1991. The population spread of Austrian-born people can be seen below.[3]
