The demographic of British Pakistanis has changed considerably since they first arrived in the UK. The population has grown from about 10,000 in 1951 to roughly 1.2 million today. The most diverse Pakistani population is in London and is made up of Punjabis, Pathans, Kashmiris, Sindhis and other Urdu Speakers, who had initially migrated from India to Pakistan at its independence . The majority of British Pakistanis are Muslims; around 90 per cent of those living in England and Wales at the time of the 2001 UK Census stated their religion was Islam. The majority are Sunni Muslims, with a significant minority of Shia Muslims. The UK also has one of the largest overseas Christian Pakistani communities; the 2001 census recorded around 8,000 Christian Pakistanis living in England and Wales.

An example of such a person is Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Jinnah came to the UK in 1892 and started an apprenticeship at Graham's Shipping and Trading Company. After completing his apprenticeship, Jinnah joined Lincoln's Inn, where he trained as a barrister. At 19, Jinnah became the youngest person from the Indian subcontinent to be called to the bar in Britain.
