Where in Los Angeles area can you find the highest percentage of brits living?
 
I was wondering where in the Los Angeles area I could find the highest percentage of brits living so I. E. 10% of x Citys residents come from the UK

I don't think it'll ever be double digit percentage anywhere in LA, but it's almost certainly west side LA, and very likely Santa Monica.

I would imagine single digit would be a push.

According to wiki I found that Hollywood Hills has a 10% British population but as its wiki I wasn't too sure how true this was and many places say there is 200,000 people living in Los Angeles County who are British citizens so in most places double digits wouldn't be hard if most brits moved to the same place

You’ll find that most Brits don’t

A quick google mention a figure lower than 10% and where they were born not what their nationality is.

Perhaps they really don't want to mingle with Americans or other nationalities and prefer only to live among their own countrymen.

Our they're planning a counter-revolution. Hide the coffee!

I do find it a bit strange though how we don't congregate to one area yet you name pretty much any other group of people I. E. Mexicans, Iranians, Russians etc etc all live in a community of their own

The difference is the language barrier, or lack there of.

This. We don't need to learn a language to converse with Americans. Well unless you live here in the Deep South, and then sometimes you do :rofl:

And even homegrown Americans from up north, need a dictionary and translator when attempting to converse with a true southerner.
