According to a City of London Corporation sponsored report[1], there are between 28,600-31,000 Greek speakers in Greater London. According to official UK Higher Education Statistics Agency results[2] for the 2005/2006 academic year, there were just under 18,000 Greek undergraduate and prostgraduate students in the UK (a drop from previous years). According to the Venerable Bede, Theodore contributed to the bringing of a greater unity to English Christianity, and in 672 presided over the first council of the entire English Church, at Hertford. An estimated 40,000 Greeks from Greece also live in the Greater London area, and about 50,000 Greeks, mostly Cypriots live in Birmingham. As rents in the West End increased, Camden and Fulham became popular areas for Greek-Cypriot migrants. Britain gained control over Cyprus on 4 June 1878 as a result of the Cyprus Convention and formally annexed it in 1913. Greek Cypriots began to settle in London from the 1930s[citation needed]. In the 19th century, Greeks settled mostly in the port cities of London, Liverpool, Glasgow and Cardiff. It is accepted that the majority live in the Greater London region, in particular Southgate and Palmers Green. Other estimates vary depending on the criteria. The earliest migrants came to the area around Soho, and many more arrived at the end of the Second World War. The first documented organised Greek Orthodox Community was established in London in the 1670s. The study also reports that out of a total 896,743 London schoolchildren, 0.71% come from a Greek-speaking home. There is currently no census of persons of Greek origin who use English as the home language, or of Greek Orthodox persons.There is also a considerable number of Greek students from Greece studying in the UK. Women initially worked from home in industries such as dressmaking.
