The 2021 census for England and Wales recorded the majority (53.4%) of usual residents who were born in Singapore identified as White British.

[5] The Singaporean diaspora in Britain stems from Singapore's history as a former British colony (as part of the Straits Settlements' capital from 1826 to 1942, and separately as the Crown Colony of Singapore from 1946 to 1959), and its current membership in the Commonwealth of Nations.

40,474 Singaporean-born people were recorded by the 2001 UK Census,[6] with 40,180 of those living in Great Britain.

[5] The Office for National Statistics estimates that, in 2009, 41,000 Singaporean-born people were resident in the UK.

The most popular tracts were Hyde Park, Kensington, Holborn, Chelsea, Southall West, Regent's Park, Cambridge West, Highgate, East Ham South, Richmond North.
