WATCH: From Lima to London – Peruvian immigration to London

Peruvians make up a large proportion of the Latin population as they migrate to London in search of new opportunities.

In 2013, around 145,000 Latin Americans lived in London, according to the Society for Latin American Studies.

Lambeth and Southwark are notable areas where Latin Americans reside with the large majority being Brazilians and Colombians.

Due to the political and economic turmoil, Peruvians have come to London to build a new life in the English capital.

Speaking about the difficulty of transitioning and moving to a new country, Peruvian journalist César Gamarra said: “You have to adapt to the country that takes you in.

“The country is not going to adapt to me, I have to adapt to the country.”
