Melbourne has a lively British migrant community. Migrants born in the UK make up the largest overseas-born population group in Melbourne, accounting for 4.3 per cent of Melbourne’s total population.

British migrants living in Melbourne love:

  • the year-round sporting calendar which includes a public holiday for a horse race
  • living by the beach
  • the nearby countryside with surf beaches, ski fields and wine regions
  • easy commute times to work and school
  • the familiar Victorian architecture.

If you’re thinking about moving to Australia from the UK, Melbourne could be the perfect home for you.
