Population40,474 Singaporean-born people were recorded by the 2001 UK Census,[1] with 40,180 of those living in Great Britain. The Singaporean-born population of Great Britain has increased by 19 per cent since the 1991 Census, when 33,751 Singaporean-born people were recorded.[2] The Office for National Statistics estimates that, in 2009, 41,000 Singaporean-born people were resident in the UK.[3] The distribution of Singaporean-born residents according to the 2001 census is shown on the map. Nine of the ten census tracts with the most Singaporean-born residents in 2001 are in London. The most popular tracts were Hyde Park, Kensington, Holborn, Chelsea, Southall West, Regent's Park, Cambridge West, Highgate, East Ham South, Richmond North.[2] Notable individuals{{Refimprove section|date=September 2010}}The list below includes British people of Singaporean descent and Singaporean immigrants to the UK, regardless of ethnicity.
