Czechs in the United Kingdom
Ethnic group / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Czechs in the United Kingdom (Czech: Češi ve Spojeném království) refers to the phenomenon of Czech people migrating to the United Kingdom from the Czech Republic or from the political entities that preceded it, such as Czechoslovakia. There are some people in the UK who were either born in the Czech lands or have Czech ancestry, some of whom descended from Jewish refugees (e.g. Kindertransport) who arrived during World War II.
