Community
Where the community meets
Sunday: Mass in Portuguese at 9am in Bayswater, at 3pm in Fulham, and on most Sundays at 5pm in Camden. The Brazilian chaplaincy runs from 8.30am in Crystal Palace to 7pm in Brixton. Saturday has a chaplaincy Mass in Bayswater, Whitechapel and Willesden, and Portuguese class at BREACC and Clube dos Brasileirinhos.
Brazil does not have one religion. In the 2022 Census, 56.7% declared themselves Catholic, 26.9% evangelical, 9.3% no religion, and 1% umbanda and candomblé, a rise of 233% on 2010. The list above reflects what we were able to confirm in London, and it is far from covering everything. If your community is not here, write to us.

History
How we got here
In 2001 the Census found fifteen thousand Brazilians in the whole UK. Today the consulate talks about more than two hundred thousand. Everything that exists now, the bakeries, the samba schools, the churches, the butchers, the Saturday Portuguese class, was built in that gap, by people who arrived and found none of it here.
Who we are here
Where we come from
There is no official data on state of origin: neither the British census nor the Brazilian foreign ministry asks. What exists is academic research with small samples, which gives the order of the states that send most people to London, not the percentage each one contributes. So that is what is here: the order, and not a chart with numbers we do not have. The list shows the largest groups in that research, not every state represented in London.
The areas the research names
Beyond the census numbers, these are the areas named repeatedly in studies of the community.
The usual picture is Harlesden, Willesden and central London. But a 2026 survey catalogued Brazilian businesses and organisations across 17 different boroughs, and it spreads much further than the reputation suggests: Lambeth, Haringey, Newham, Hackney, Brent, Islington, Waltham Forest, Greenwich, Barnet, Richmond, Wandsworth, Merton. Central London shows up heavily on a list like that because of universities, associations and restaurant chains, not because it is where the community lives.
Brazilian food here runs on two different economies. One is the destination churrascaria in the centre, where you go to celebrate. The other is the network of neighbourhood butchers, grocers and cafes in the east, north east, north and south, where the same people go every week. If what you want is to find Brazilians, the second is worth far more than the first. A neighbourhood butcher and a Saturday Portuguese school gather more Brazilian families than any fashionable rodízio. And the east is no longer only food: Hackney has grocers and Mass, Tower Hamlets has the chaplaincy base and a university Brazilian society, Newham has food and two salons that work with Afro hair.
The Itamaraty estimate for 2023, 230,000, is almost exactly double the 116,000 in the census. A difference of nearly 114,000 people, and neither one is wrong. The census counts people born in Brazil who live here. The consular estimate tries to count the Brazilian community, which includes children born here, people with dual nationality and people the census does not reach. There is no point averaging the two: they answer different questions.
After 2021 there is no yearly population count by country of birth. The Itamaraty estimate rose from 220,000 in 2022 to 230,000 in 2023.
Twenty years in three numbers
People born in Brazil living in London, across the three censuses. It is worth looking at the two decades separately, because they say different things. Between 2001 and 2011 the counted community grew by 284%, close to quadrupling. Between 2011 and 2021 it grew by another 78%. So the explosion was in the first decade, and after that growth stayed strong but at a different pace.
In 2001 there were 8,175 Brazilians in the whole of London. Anyone who arrived then arrived to almost nothing: no Brazilian butcher on the High Road, no Portuguese school on Saturdays, no Mass in Portuguese across eight neighbourhoods, no forró class every week. Everything listed on this site was built in twenty years, by people who arrived with none of it and made it. The list of places on this site is, in the end, the list of what our generation and the one before it built.
And the map moved. In 2001 the two largest groups of Brazilians in London were in Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea, the two most expensive boroughs in the city. By 2021 the four largest are Brent, Lambeth, Wandsworth and Haringey. The places that grew most over those twenty years were not central: Greenwich seventeenfold, Croydon sixteen, Sutton fifteen, Newham fourteen. Kensington and Chelsea grew least of all, barely doubling. In other words: from a small central community it became a large and dispersed one, and it went to the places where you can actually live. And the spreading was not only within London. In 2011, London held 62% of everyone born in Brazil living in England and Wales. By 2021 it was exactly half. The community grew in London and grew faster still outside it.
Where it is growing now
How many times over the counted community multiplied between 2011 and 2021, looking only at boroughs above 500 people so small numbers do not distort it.
Notice what that means in practice. The places growing fastest today are Croydon, Greenwich, Harrow, Bromley, Merton and Kingston, all outside the centre. Meanwhile Kensington and Chelsea grew by only 17% in ten years, Southwark 23%, Hackney 25%, Camden 28% and Westminster 30%. So anyone arriving today and hearing "go to Willesden" is hearing where the community has been, not where it is going. Rent explains a good part of it.
Where we have nothing listed
Boroughs with more than fourteen hundred Brazilians in the census and not one address on our list. It is not that nothing is there: it is that we did not find it.
Born in Brazil, by borough
People born in Brazil and resident in each borough, in the count published by the GLA from ONS data. It counts people born in Brazil, so a child born here is not included. The British census has no Latin American category, so country of birth is the breakdown that exists. Community organisations campaign for a category of their own. The table covers the 32 boroughs and the City of London.
Where the community is moving
Brazilians who left a mark here
This is not a celebrity list. It is people who came through here and left something, in both directions: those who built something in London and stayed, and those who came to study, learned, and went back to do it in Brazil. There is physics, law, literature, design, music, food and football. Some from two hundred years ago, some very recent. Where there is a source, it is at the end of the block.

Here and in Brazil
Things that work one way here and another way in Brazil. Not that either is better: they are different systems, and nobody tells you which is which. Here we do.
The first winter
London gets wet more than it gets cold, and clothing sizes are a different system. The sum and the fitting-room line are here.
Where to buy
A neighbourhood shop on Harlesden High Street, and Brazilian brands with their own door in the centre. A bra fitting, which the size chart does not settle, is at the end. This is what we found, not every shop.
Sorting a bank, a flat, a doctor and a job is work enough in our own language. In English, in a system nobody explains, it is a great deal more.

In Brazil a fiador settles it, the IPTU belongs to the owner and the deposit sits with them. Here each of those has another name and another rule. This page gathers the order and the official link. If our sentence and the government page disagree, theirs is the one that counts.

The new renting law, since May 2026

What you are entitled to be paid
Most of these rights apply from your first day, with no minimum service. Here are the official figures, the rules, and where to find people who understand them. Figures checked in Aug 26: they change every 1 April, and this is information, not legal advice.
This is just arithmetic, done here in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere and we store nothing. Rates in force since 1 April 2026.
April 2026, at 37.5 hours a week
Of the £975, £273 does not arrive, 28% of the rise. The tax-free band has been frozen at £12,570 since April 2021. Our calculation, at 37.5 hours, checked in Aug 26. GOV.UK.
What changed in April, and what is left for you
Every year the UK changes eight or nine numbers on separate GOV.UK pages, none referring to the others. Here they are together, with the sum nobody publishes.
Holiday, payslips and tax codes
Paid holiday applies from day one, zero-hours included. Here is the sum, what a payslip must show and where to complain. Checked in Sept 26, on Acas and GOV.UK.
Sites, apps and whoever pays you
Sites and apps pay another way. Here is the official name of each deduction, and the page that publishes today’s rate.
Working for yourself
In Brazil the MEI folds tax and social security into one bill. Here they are two conversations with HMRC, on different dates. The deadlines below are the ones on the government page the day we checked. The link is the year that is in force.
Around half of Latin Americans in London hold a university education, above the city average. Even so, plenty of people work below what they can do. What holds people back at the start is almost always the same three things: the language, a qualification not recognised straight away, and no track record here.
What your job is called here
A job title does not translate word for word. The literal translation is a name a British employer does not use, and a search for it comes back empty.

Children
School, and registration in both countries
In Brazil you enrol at the neighbourhood school, and a child of a Brazilian is Brazilian. Here a place is applied for, with a date, and being born here does not by itself answer either the British passport or the Brazilian one. The order is below. Each deadline lives on the official page, with the date we read it.
Primary: apply by 15 January, offers on 16 April. Secondary: apply by 31 October, offers on 1 March. The application goes to the council where the child lives.
In Brazil you find the neighbourhood school and enrol. Here, to start in September, the application is the year before, to the council where the child lives, even if the chosen school is in another borough.
On 26th Sept 26 the GOV.UK page said: primary opens in September and closes on 15 January. The child is 3, or has just turned 4, when you apply, to start at 4. Secondary closes on 31 October.
Primary offers go out on 16 April, secondary on 1 March, or the next working day if that falls on a weekend. Missing the date does not take away the right to a place at a state school, but it lowers the chance of getting the school you asked for, and the nearest one is not guaranteed.
Arriving mid-year, the name is in-year admission, and the route is on your council’s site. State school is free, and immigration status does not prevent enrolment. That is already on the Help page, with the source.
Checked on 26th Sept 26 Source: GOV.UK, how to apply for a school place. Next review due 16 January 2027.A school place does not depend on the visa. Meals are free for every child from reception to Year 2 in a state school. After that, they depend on a benefit or, for a family with NRPF or no status, on income.
A place at a state school, in England, does not ask about your visa. Free school meals are a different rule. In a state school, every child from reception to Year 2 gets free meals, no questions asked.
After that, the question is whether the family receives one of the benefits on the list, and from the 2026 to 2027 school year anyone on Universal Credit qualifies whatever their income. The list is on GOV.UK and it changes.
For families with NRPF, and for people with no immigration status, there is another route, based on income, and the figures are on the Help page, with the source.
A visa carrying the words no recourse to public funds changes what can be claimed. What counts as public funds is on this GOV.UK page. We are not translating the list onto here.
An organisation on the Help page will look at a specific case. This site will not. The 15 hours a week of childcare for a child of 3 or 4 are a different rule, a universal one, and they are on the Help page too.
Do not mix them up with free school meals.
Checked on 27th Sept 26 Source: GOV.UK, apply for free school meals. Next review due 6 April 2027.In England, registering the birth has a deadline on GOV.UK. The long certificate, with the parents’ names, is the one the consulate asks for. The short one will not do.
There are two registrations, and both have an official page.
United Kingdom. The birth is registered at the register office. GOV.UK says the deadline and what to take. On 26th Sept 26 the page said 42 days in England and Wales.
Ask for the long certificate, the full birth certificate, the Certified Copy of an Entry, with the parents’ names. The short certificate handed over free at the counter does not name the parents.
Brazil. A child of a Brazilian born abroad is Brazilian by birth once registered at a consular office. The Consulate-General in London publishes the list by age. For a child under 12, on 26th Sept 26, the page asked for the long British certificate, the Brazilian parent’s documents, and the request through e-consular.
Consular registration is free. Without it there is no Brazilian passport. The constitutional detail is on the Documents page.
British citizenship. Being born here is not enough, for anyone born on or after 1 January 1983. The GOV.UK page says the child is usually already British if, at birth, one parent was a British citizen or settled. The same page lists who is not automatic and can apply to register later.
There are exceptions, including for some children born before July 2006. That is nationality. A case is decided by the Home Office.
Registered advisers are on the Help page. This site neither decides nor advises.
Checked on 26th Sept 26 Source: GOV.UK, register a birth. Next review due 1 June 2027.The rule and the size of the fine are on the Community page, with the source. A family holiday does not count as an exceptional circumstance.
The Brazilian summer falls on school time here. The national rule, what a school can authorise and what does not count as an exception are on the Community page, in the block on taking a child to Brazil, with the date it was checked. This line exists so someone who arrived looking for school can find that block.

A child who grows up speaking Portuguese at home can turn it into an official qualification. Pearson Edexcel offers a GCSE in Portuguese, taught since 2018, and an A level in Portuguese too.
If the school does not teach it, the student can sit it as a private candidate. Pearson includes in that group a student studying a course their own school does not offer. The route is to find an exam centre that accepts private candidates, on the list from JCQ, the body the exam boards belong to.
The centre helps with registration. It does not have to accept, and the fees are paid by the family.
London’s Portuguese heritage language schools are on the Community page, and the POLH-UK network is on the Help page.
Checked on 27th Sept 26 Source: Pearson Edexcel, GCSE Portuguese; Pearson, private candidates. Next review due 1 June 2027.The first published step is to speak to the school SENCO. An EHC plan is the council’s plan, up to age 25, when support inside the school is not enough. From the date of the request to the final plan, the council has 20 weeks.
In Brazil the paper a family takes to the school is usually a clinical report. Here GOV.UK describes two steps, and the first is a conversation at the school.
On 27th Sept 26 the special educational needs page said: if you think your child may have these needs, speak to the SENCO, the special educational needs co-ordinator, at the school or nursery. If the child is not in a school or nursery, the contact is the council.
The same page names what exists: SEN support, support inside the school, and an education, health and care plan, an EHC plan, for someone who needs more than the school alone provides. ADHD appears on that page as one of the examples, in the case of concentration.
The page does not say to wait for a diagnosis before that conversation.
An EHC plan covers a child or young person up to 25. Who can ask the council for an assessment: the parents, and also a doctor, a health visitor, a teacher, or the young person themselves from 16 to 25. The council says within 16 weeks whether it is going to make a plan.
From the day it receives the request to the final plan, it is 20 weeks. On the draft, the family has at least 15 days to comment, including to ask for a specialist school or college.
If the council refuses an assessment, refuses a plan, or the family disagrees with the support or the school named, the published route is to sort it with the council first and, if that does not resolve it, to appeal to the SEND Tribunal.
Each council publishes what it offers locally, under the name Local Offer, on its own site. Independent help for a family going through this has a finder, the Information, Advice and Support Service.
A clinical diagnosis is a different door. An autism assessment on the NHS, for a child and for an adult, is on the Health page. The two often travel together and they are not the same paper: the plan belongs to the council, the assessment report belongs to the health team.
Checked on 27th Sept 26 Source: GOV.UK, children with special educational needs; extra help, EHC plan. Next review due 1 June 2027.

Documents
Paperwork between the two countries
This is the part that appears in no expat guide, because it only exists if you are Brazilian. Apostille, sworn translation, consular registration, power of attorney, and pensions on both sides. Every mistake here costs money and time.
A note for anyone planning to go back, whether in a year or in twenty. Much of what makes that return easy gets settled while you are still here, not afterwards. Apostilling a British certificate is simpler to do in London than from Brazil, because an apostille can only be issued by the country that produced the document. Registering a child at the consulate is easier now than as a legal process later. A British degree is easier to gather paperwork for now, with the university nearby. And time contributed here does not transfer to the Brazilian pension system, so knowing that early changes what you do with the money. This page holds all three: what you owe Brazil while living abroad, what to do with your degree from here, and what is best settled before you fly.
What you still owe Brazil
Living here does not switch everything off there. Tax, voter registration, military enlistment, CPF, registering a child and your driving licence all still exist, and three of them can block your passport. No British guide will tell you this because it is not their subject. Position as at Aug 26: confirm with the Brazilian body before acting, because these rules change.
The year in both countries
The deadlines that come round every year, from both governments, in one place. No guide puts the two together because each one only handles its own side. Dates checked in Aug 26: each has its source in the corresponding section of the site.
Regulated professions: the route for each one
This part is about your Brazilian qualification counting here. If what you want is the reverse, a British qualification counting in Brazil, that is just below, under A degree from here, valid in Brazil. Nine professions, with the body that decides, whether your qualification is assessed directly or there is an exam, the English required and the published cost. Position as at Aug 26: fees and timelines change often, so check the link before spending.
In three professions the Brazilian qualification is assessed directly, with no compulsory conversion exam: physiotherapy, psychology and engineering. In those, your training and experience are compared against the standard here, and good documentation can be enough. In the others there is an exam, but none of them makes you repeat an entire degree.
One thing applies to all of them: whoever decides your case decides by looking at paper. A detailed curriculum, placement and clinical hours, module descriptions, proof of registration with your professional council and a certificate of good standing, all with certified translation. The quality of the documentation changes the outcome. It is worth reading the apostille and sworn translation section on this same page before you start. And if you work in beauty or aesthetics, this is not your route: it is borough licensing, and it is on the Beauty page.
This applies to most people: if your profession is not regulated here, nobody needs to recognise your qualification. Marketing, technology, administration, accountancy, design, logistics, sales, human resources, hospitality. In those fields there is no council, no conversion exam and no compulsory registration. You simply apply for the job, like anyone from here.
What does exist, and helps, is UK ENIC: a paid service that compares your Brazilian qualification against the equivalent British level and issues a statement. That is not professional recognition and it is not a licence: it is a translation of level, useful for job applications, for university and for some borough licence applications. Plenty of people spend money on a course here believing they have to start again, when what was missing was an explanation of what their qualification already is.
The official cost, side by side
Regulator fees only, so you can see the difference in scale before choosing a route. It excludes the English test, sworn translation, preparation courses, travel and course fees, which in pharmacy and law are the larger expense. Figures checked in Aug and Sept 26.
The time, side by side
A planning estimate, not anyone’s promise. It counts from the point where you already have documents, translations and English in hand. Exam availability, incomplete paperwork and resits all stretch it.
The week of leaving
The exit declaration, INSS and what you already paid here are further up and on the Money page. This is the rest of the week: FGTS, who to tell on this side, and the visa for whoever is going with you. We do not pick a visa. The consulate publishes the list.
If someone dies
Consular registration is one line of the paperwork, further up. The week itself has another order, and it is written on GOV.UK and at the consulate. This page points at both. It recommends no funeral director and gives no repatriation price.
A degree from here, valid in Brazil
If you came here to study and intend to go back, a British degree is not automatically valid in Brazil: depending on what you plan to do, it has to go through revalidação or reconhecimento. If your case is the reverse, a Brazilian qualification for working here, that is just above, under Regulated professions. Position as at Aug 26, with the official link on each item.

Where to get help
People who can actually help
There is a whole network built for this, much of it by Latin American women, and several of them work in Portuguese. These are the right doors to knock on.
Domestic abuse, sexual violence and exploitation
If you are in danger right now, call 999. Speak if you can, even in a whisper.
What follows are the words of the Metropolitan Police, on their own page about making a silent 999 call. The link is at the end of the block.
“If you’re in danger, call 999 and try to speak to the operator if you can, even by whispering.”
“If you don’t speak or answer questions, press 55 or tap when prompted and your call will be transferred to the police.”
“The police will usually be able to find your location.”
“If you don’t press 55 or respond, your call could be ended.”
Press 55 when prompted, not before: it is not a shortcut, it is the answer to the automated message. And staying silent and doing nothing else does not guarantee that police will come to you: correcting that misconception is why the IOPC ran the national Make Yourself Heard campaign.
For non-emergencies the police number is 101. The national domestic abuse helpline is 0808 2000 247, 24 hours. LAWRS, in Portuguese, is 0808 145 4909, Tuesday to Friday, 11am to 1pm, free to call.

First of all, about the device you are using. The red button above leaves this page immediately and replaces the address, but it does not erase your browser history. If there is any chance someone checks your phone or computer, it is worth using a private window, or a friend’s device, or a library computer. This site asks for no account and sends nothing about you to anyone. But the browser keeps your history and, for this site, a copy of the pages so they open offline, plus anything you save here, such as the hours notebook. In a private window, none of that stays once you close it.
What does not depend on your visa
Rights that already exist in law, each with its official source. This site gives no immigration advice and says nothing about anyone’s situation: what is here is only what the rule already guarantees to any person.
If you came here to study, start with your own university, because it is the closest and fastest support there is. Almost every large London university has free counselling, mental health support, visa guidance and sometimes emergency financial help, all already paid for inside your fees. And there are Brazilian student societies at Queen Mary, King’s College, the LSE and Imperial, listed below: they generally welcome people from outside the university at events, and it is the quickest way to meet other Brazilians who arrived when you did.
How to find your people, without depending on this list. Student societies change committee every year, change Instagram account, and sometimes vanish for a year and come back the next, so any list of handles ages fast, including ours. What does not change is the route: look on your university’s students’ union website, which lists societies officially and keeps the page up between one committee and the next; go to the freshers’ fair in the first fortnight of the academic year, which is when they recruit; and search Instagram for brazilian society plus your university name. If your university does not have one, many welcome people from outside at events, so it is worth writing to the nearest. Found one that is not here, or one that has died? Write to us.
Scams: how to spot them and where to report
The scams that most often catch people who have just arrived: rooms, jobs with a visa, agencies, fake messages and borrowed accounts. Each item says what the official body says, and who to call.
Where to look
If I leave, can I support myself?
Control of money is among the factors in abuse most often named by organisations serving Brazilian women in London, and the argument is always the same: you cannot manage without me. This does not answer whether you should leave. It only answers what the state pays a woman living on her own, with or without children, so you have a real number instead of his.
Checking a Brazilian professional
We do not keep a list of professionals and we recommend nobody. What we can do, and it is worth more, is show you where to check the person you have already found. Every one of these registers is public, free, and takes under a minute.
Ask for the full name and the registration number, and check it yourself. Anyone serious gives you both without hesitating. Someone who stalls on the number has already answered your question.

About
By Brazilians, for Brazilians
Brazilians have been in London for decades, but the growth is recent: in 2001 the Census pointed to just over fifteen thousand Brazilian-born people in the whole UK, and today the consulate talks about more than two hundred thousand Brazilians. Which means almost everything here today, the bakeries, the samba schools, the churches, the butchers, the Portuguese school on a Saturday morning, was built by this generation, from nothing, in a foreign language. Brasil Londres is simply an attempt to put all of it in one place.
Right now we charge nobody to appear here, and if that ever changes we will say so on this page. We are not lawyers, accountants or doctors, and we do not give advice. When something matters, we point you to people qualified to deal with it.
This is not the complete list, and it does not try to be. What we need already exists, scattered: a council page, a samba school’s Instagram, an NHS site, a consulate form. Nearly every line here links out, on purpose: their page stays right after ours goes stale.
If you run events and want to be listed, or you have found a link that is wrong or out of date, write to us.
We are not official
This site has no connection whatsoever to the Brazilian government, the consulate, the embassy, the British government or the NHS. We represent nobody and we provide no consular service. When we quote or link an official body, it is only so you can reach the source: whoever decides anything about your case is that body, not this site.
Your data
We ask for no registration, use no tracking cookies and have no visitor analytics. What happens when the map opens, or when you search for a postcode, is on Privacy.
Something wrong?
If you own a business or organisation named here and the information is wrong, out of date, or you simply do not want to appear, write to us and we will correct it or remove it. No argument and no bureaucracy. The same goes for any link, figure or date.
