...and now we are traveling to the other side of the Atlantic and to the United Kingdom!
First off a little about this very rich & influential country in a historical context, albeit short and I know that it doesn't do the UK justice to make it brief -- this is a decent opening to our demographic adventure.
This from: thecommonwealth.org
"Stone circles like Avebury and Stonehenge are evidence of prehistoric cultures, especially notable in the milder south of England where ancient sites abound. Julius Caesar led token Roman expeditions into Britain in 55 and 54 BCE. Roman colonisation began 80 years later, lasting from CE 43 to about 409. Scotland resisted occupation for most of the period.
After the departure of the Romans, Angles, Saxons and Jutes from northern Europe settled, the Angles giving their name to England. Several large kingdoms emerged: Northumbria in the north, Mercia in the midlands and Wessex in the south. Vikings from Scandinavia made incursions from the eighth century and settled widely in the north and east. Ireland was dominated by the Vikings during the tenth century. In 1066 England was invaded and conquered by the Norman duke William of Normandy (France).
In 1169 Henry II of England authorised an invasion of Ireland, following which a large part of the country came under the control of Anglo-Norman magnates. Wales came under English rule during the 13th century, during the reign of Edward I; but the continuing strength of Welsh national feeling was shown by a rising at the beginning of the 15th century.
Christianity spread in the sixth to seventh centuries. Much of Britain shifted from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism in the 16th century. England retained an Episcopalian church (governed by bishops), while Scotland embraced a Presbyterian system.
In 1603, King James VI of Scotland succeeded to the English throne, so uniting the two Crowns. However, England and Scotland remained separate political entities during that century, apart from an enforced period of unification under Oliver Cromwell in the 1650s. In 1707 both countries agreed on a single parliament for Great Britain.
Several campaigns were waged against Irish insurgents during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603). The northern province of Ulster resisted English rule particularly strongly; following defeat of the rebels, Ulster was settled by immigrants from Scotland and England. Further risings were crushed by Oliver Cromwell. An uneasy peace prevailed throughout most of the 18th century. In 1782 the Irish Parliament was given legislative independence and in 1801 Ireland was joined to Great Britain by an Act of Union.
England has ousted its monarch on more than one occasion. During England’s civil wars (1642–51), triggered by clashes between king and parliament, Charles I was executed and a republic briefly instated under Oliver and later Richard Cromwell (1649–60). In 1688 a bloodless ‘revolution’ took place, and James II was replaced by William and Mary.
Britain transformed itself from an agrarian to an industrial society from the 1760s to 1830s, the world’s first industrial revolution. The country also developed a powerful navy and merchant fleet. It was the first nation to have a political anti-slavery movement, which led the government to ban the slave trade in 1807 and slavery in 1833–34.
In the 19th century, wealthy and industrialised, Britain became the major world power with an empire that included colonies on every continent. However, the 20th century reversed much of this. Two world wars, failure to keep pace with industrial advance, a severe brain drain and the independence of Commonwealth countries reduced Britain’s position on the world stage. But it remains a leading liberal democracy, with art and literature, intellectual freedoms and parliamentary traditions of lasting influence."

*Limited data, Top 20 only; another figure has the BUA at 9,787,426 but I chose the larger since it's as close as I could find to a metro population.
In 2001, London had the largest population of people born in South Africa, Ireland, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Kenya, Pakistan, Ghana, Somalia, Cyprus, South Africa, Australia, Mauritius, Montserrat, Saint Helena, Tanzania & Uganda of any other urban area outside of the region of origin (e.g., Africa, Asia/Middle East, etc.). It also has one of the largest US-born populations of any urban area outside of the US & Mexico (even more than Toronto a bit closer to home in Canada).
