British Moroccans are citizens and/or residents of the United Kingdom whose ethnic origins lie fully or partially in Morocco.
Mass migration from Morocco to the United Kingdom began in the 1960s, primarily consisting of migrant workers recruited to work in the hotel and catering industries.
The community has grown significantly due to high birth rates as well as sponsored migration of dependents.
[2] 2009 estimates reported by the Runymede Trust suggested between 65,000 and 70,000 people of Moroccan origin reside in the UK.
Based on census data, it indicates that they are the sixth-largest population of British Arabs by country of birth.
