Many Greek Cypriots migrated to the UK in the 1950s and 1960s for economic reasons, but many also fled, leaving their island country behind after the Turkish invasion of 1974. Today, the majority of Greek Cypriots living abroad are in the United Kingdom, particularly in North London, many around the Southgate neighbourhood. However, thousands more have also relocated to Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United States and other European countries. Many often return to Cyprus and are a major force in advocating Cypriot issues around the world.
