According to the 2001 UK Census, 4,066 Peruvian-born people were living in the UK.As such, Peru was the the 107th most common birthplace for UK residents, and sixth out of all Latin American countries, behind Mexico but ahead of Venezuela. One guesstimate now puts the Latin American population of the UK at between 800,000 and 1 million (including those of ancestral descent), but despite this, the most recent estimates for the number of Peruvians in the UK as well as British-born people of Peruvian origin do not show such a large difference from the census data - the total population is placed at between 10,000 and 15,000. This is smaller than such communities in the UK as Brazilians, Colombians and Ecuadorians.
