The 2001 UK Census recorded 40,118 people born in the Philippines.[1] The 2011 census recorded 117,457 people born in the Philippines resident in England, 5,168 in Wales,[2] 4,264 in Scotland[3] and 2,947 in Northern Ireland,[4] making a total of 129,836. The Office for National Statistics estimates that, in 2015, the equivalent figure was 132,000.[5]
According to The Manila Times, there were approximately 200,000 Filipinos living in the United Kingdom in 2007.[6] In 2007, 10,840 Filipinos gained British citizenship, the second largest number of any nation after India,[7] compared to only 1,385 in 2001.[8]
According to the Institute for Public Policy Research, 85.4 per cent of new immigrant Filipinos to the UK of working age are employed (as opposed to inactive - a category which includes students - or unemployed), with 12.8% being low earners (people making less than £149.20 a week – half the UK median wage) and 0.61 per cent are high earners (people earning more than £750 a week). 78% of settled Filipino immigrants to the UK are employed, with 15.4% being low earners and 1.28 per cent being high earners.[12] In 2020, 18,500 Filipinos were employed by the National Health Service;[13] as of April 2020, of NHS workers who have died of COVID-19, 20% were Filipino.[14]

Filipino Leeds Community,[23] or FLC, formerly called Filipino Leeds Association (FLA), a non-profit organisation based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, composed of Filipino and British-Filipino volunteers dedicated to promote the uniqueness of the Filipino culture to the British society. The association has been supporting Filipinos in Leeds on immigration, housing and financial issues.

The 'Barrio Fiesta sa London', a two-day annual festival formerly held in Lampton Park, Hounslow, West London, is perhaps the best known and largest gathering for the community in the UK, which was launched in 1985. Since then, smaller versions of the festival have been held at various locations across the UK, with the original festival receiving well over 30,000 visitors in a single day. It is organised and run by The Philippine Centre but draws Filipino community groups and businesses from all over the UK. The Barrio Fiesta sa London moved location in 2013 and is now held in Apps Court Farm, Walton-on-Thames.
