Living in the UK

About 4,000 of the 7,000 Montserratians that were forced to leave the island during the eruption went to live in the UK.

Here, they had to adjust to a very different climate, culture and lifestyle. Today, there is a lively Diaspora of Montserratians in London and other cities in the UK, where they preserve the Montserratian way of life.
