how many sikhs are there in the uk?

Actually, there aren't more Sikhs than Brits, and I apologize for all the other ridiculous answers that other people have given. I found a UK factsheet whose link I am providing below. It gives a tally of 336,000 living in the entire UK. You can read about it under the heading "Which Religions are Represented in Britain?" Here is the link:

Another website, however, says that 420,000 Sikhs live in England alone. It does not give a tally for the entire UK, I'm afraid. Of the two, the latter is probably more accurate, since its coming from an actual Sikh organization called Sikhs in England. I imagine they've studied the issue more closely, than the people who put the factsheet together. If I had to extrapolate from this number, I would guess that roughly half a million live in the entire UK.

Here's the second link:

Hope this helps.

Well that depends on whether you are talking home office figures or real numbers, though I am sure Mr Ried would love to know if you get anywhere with this...
