Venezuelan British (Spanish: Británicos venezolanos) is a term used to denote a citizen or non-citizen immigrant in the United Kingdom who's ethnic or national roots lie in the South American nation of Venezuela.
The Latin American community in the UK only began to emmerge in the mid 20th century, and according to most recent estimates, there are around 1 million Latin Amercian people in the country, it is also one of the UK's fastest growing ethnic groups, the Venezuelan British community will almost certainly follow this trend, and even the most recent statistics could be vast underestimates.[2]
According to the 2001 UK Census, a meer 4,000 Venezuelan born people were living in the UK, [3] representing just over 6% of the UK's Latin American born community, considering most recent estimates of 700,000 to 1 million ethnically Latin American people in the UK, there are likely to be between 45,000 and 60,000 Venezuelan Britons.[4]
