History of Pakistanis in London

Pakistani people have been in London for over 50 years contributing to the capital's business economy. But the young people are creating their own new identity in all aspects of London life Britain's Pakistani community is one of the oldest and largest Pakistani communities outside of Pakistan, with over 100,000 people in London.

Pakistani people first arrived in the late 1950s or early 60s and the men came to work so they could support their families in Pakistan. Entrepreneurial Pakistanis opened grocery stores, sold spices, chappatti flour and halal meat to cater for their community.

They were soon followed by a variety of different types of businesses. For example, clothing shops, video shops renting Indian films and nowadays, taxi driving. Property ownership has also been a popular business. Owning property increases the status of the owner amongst his fellow Pakistanis. http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2005/05/26/pakistan_london_feature.shtml
