Estonians in the United Kingdom

Estonians in the United Kingdom are those born or raised in the UK, or residents, who are of ethnically Estonian descent or originate from Estonia, a country in North-Eastern Europe.

In the early 20th century, Estonian workers began to settle in industrial cities like Glasgow and Bristol.

[4][5][6] Notable groups of Estonian-born migrants historically also included people of Estonian Jewish, Baltic German and Estonian Russian origin.

An estimated 10,000-15,000 Estonian citizens live in the UK, about 3,000-5,000 of them in London.

In 1947, the Estonian émigré writer and journalist Gert Helbemäe moved to London, and established the newspaper Eesti Hääl, which is currently published monthly.
