Austrians in the United Kingdom include citizens or non-citizen immigrants of the United Kingdom who originate from Austria.
Austrians have been present in what is now the UK for centuries as merchants, traders and diplomats, but it was only during the 1930s when Austrians came to the UK in significant numbers. The vast majority of these were Austrian Jews who fled to the UK to escape Nazi persecution during the Third Reich or National Socialist Period (1933–1945). [2]
According to 2024 estimates from Statistics Austria, approximately 41,700 Austrian citizens reside in the United Kingdom, making it home to the third-largest Austrian diaspora community globally after Germany and Switzerland. [1]
The London-based Austrian Club (Österreichischer Klub) has served as a cultural hub since its establishment in 1984 under embassy patronage. [3]
