For many decades, Irish people moving to London would usually go to a few particular areas in the city - such as Camden Town and Kilburn. These were locations where an Irish job-seeker would be sure to meet someone from home, and where shops and pubs had familiar names.
That era is now long gone, Irish accents can now be heard in all parts of the vast city - from Uxbridge in the west to Romford in the east. Shane Hickey recently talked to some Irish people living in London about why they like the district they live in.
