Vietnamese people in the United Kingdom

[2] A study by Refugee Action showed that during the years leading up to 1993, the majority of Vietnamese British people were in local authority housing.

[citation needed] A study published in 2007 reported that community organisations estimated that there were at least 55,000 Vietnamese in England and Wales, and that 20,000 of these people were undocumented migrants and at least 5,000 were overseas students.

[5] According to the 2011 census, the cities with the most Vietnam-born residents are London (15,337), Birmingham (1,479), Manchester (865), Nottingham (405), Leeds (374), Northampton (322), Cambridge (259), Newcastle upon Tyne (245), Bristol (220) and Leicester (202).

According to a 2007 study, in the London borough of Lewisham, Vietnamese pupils along with Chinese and Indians outperformed all other ethnic groups.

[12] In response, in 2024 the Home Office launched a targeted social networking campaign to deter Vietnamese nationals from illegally migrating to the UK.
