London, are these definitely Dominicans as in people from the DR or could they be from Dominica?

 

[London_Calling]

No, definitely the Dominican Republic.

4,553 people gave Dominica as their county of birth.

I suppose there could be some ambiguity in the name on the survey sheets but I think most Dominicans would call it the Dominican Republic.

Most of the dominicans in London are now coming from Spain.
Escaping the recession.
