Where in the UK are the Italian communities living?

Question

I would like to know where throughout the UK are there Italian communities.

Answer 1

1. Two famous Italian communities, of which I knew already, are those of Clerkenwell (in London) and Bedford.
a) Clerkenwell. Here are some websites about Clerkenwell, and St. Peter's Italian Church. The community celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1985 (I was there!).

b) Bedford. The community here is more recent, dating back to the 1950s. In the 1990s, when I lived in nearby Milton Keynes it produced its own monthly newspaper.

2. Have a look around these webpages and you'll find references to other Italian communities in the UK.
