THE most popular destination for Iraqis moving to Britain is HULL, The Sun’s incredible migration map reveals today.
London remains a magnet but smaller cities and towns have also welcomed visitors from all four corners of the world.
Our map shows some of the areas different nationalities settle when arriving. And it throws up some surprising pairings.
For example, Herefordshire is a huge draw to Bulgarians, while Zimbabweans head to Leicester, Latvians to Peterborough, Cambs, and Slovaks to Warrington, Cheshire.
The melting pot culture of bigger cities attracts a variety of nationalities. Birmingham is popular with Chinese, Afghanis, Eritreans and Bangladeshis, while Edinburgh attracts Poles, Irish and Spaniards.
The map is based on latest Department for Work and Pensions figures showing where 600,810 migrants applied for a National Insurance number to work or study.
They emerged after census details in December showed nearly one in seven people living in England and Wales in 2011 was born abroad.
London is the place most newcomers head to, with the east of the city the UK’s biggest hotspot.
The borough of Newham, home to the Olympics, is the most likely destination for Indians, Pakistanis and tens of thousands from Eastern Europe. Neighbouring Tower Hamlets is the first port of call for Spaniards, Italians and Germans.
The biggest single group of migrants to the UK came from Poland, with 79,140 settling here in 2011/12, followed by 47,270 Indians and 38,300 from Pakistan.
Poles settled most in Ealing, West London, while Romanians, Hungarians and Portuguese headed for neighbouring Brent.
Aussies put down roots in Hammersmith and Fulham, with Kiwis and South Africans favouring Wandsworth. Americans go to wealthy Westminster or Kensington and Chelsea.
The figures do not include migrants who arrive illegally. Under Labour the number of UK residents born abroad soared from 4.6million in 2001 to 7.5million in 2011.
