[edit] Background

The Grenadian British community bears very similar trends to the other Caribbean British communities, the 10,000[2] Grenadian born people living in the UK in 2001 were mainly concentrated around the larger cities and conurbations, altough Yorkshire also proved popular for Grenadian expatriats. By most recent estimates, almost 30,000 British people are of full or partial Grenadian descent, and immigration from the former British colony continues today after the influx of Caribbean migrant workers in the mid 90's.
