Turks first began to emigrate in large numbers from the island of Cyprus for work and then again when Turkish Cypriots were forced to leave their homes during the Cyprus conflict.[citation needed] Turks then began to come from Turkey for economic reasons. Recently, smaller groups of Turks have begun to immigrate to the United Kingdom from other European countries.[84] As of 2011, there is a total of about 500,000 people of Turkish origin in the UK,[85] made up of approximately 150,000 Turkish nationals and about 300,000 Turkish Cypriots.[86] Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a growing number of ethnic Turks with Bulgarian, German, Greek, Macedonian, and Romanian citizenship who have also migrated to the United Kingdom.[86] The majority live in London.
