Grenadians in the United Kingdom are citizens or residents of the United Kingdom whose ethnic origins lie fully or partially in Grenada. 9,783 Grenadian-born people were recorded by the 2001 UK Census.
Migration from Grenada to the UK
Migration has included that of the Windrush Generation; many of the Grenadians who left home as part of this movement settled in Yorkshire.
