Singaporean British or Singaporean Briton is a term used to refer to people of Singaporean descent who have been born in and/or raised in the United Kingdom. This includes people of Singaporean descent and those born in Singapore and have migrated to the UK.
The story of the Singaporean British community roughly follows that of the British Chinese community, as many Singaporeans are actually of Chinese descent. There is a large Singaporean diaspora in the UK, due to Singapore once being a British colony and now being part of the Commonwealth of Nations.
