Well how many Italians you met? Or Austrians? Swedes? Etc. Heck how many French?
The US has so many because of its Spanish history and proximity to Latin American culture. Obviously the UK is rather close to Spain, but the bond is not as close, and a lot of Spanish people won't migrate to the UK like Mexicans and Latins will to the US.

Much rarer in suburban and rural areas though (at least in my experience), around here mostly Poles, Eastern Europeans and South Asians.
In my experience the Mediterrean communities in the UK also tend to assimilate a lot more than some of the other communities , much like the pre Accession Polish community had ,,,
I was sitting down and thinking about random stuff. And realised, I've never met a Mexican or any other Hispanic in all 16 years of living.
140,000 Portugese, 125,000 Spanish, 53,000 Brazillians (all 2015 ONS Stats), 5000 + Mexicans (although this latter figure is 2001 census so probably twice that now. Id bet most of them are in London. For the mexicans wiki suggest London, Oxvridge, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester., Warwick, Edinburgh.
Lmao, I'm Brazilian, Edinburgh has a lot of Brazilians, Mexicans and Colombians. You may think you have never met any Latinos, but since we are so diverse you probably have without realising it.
You get a lot more in America because it's right next to Mexico and close to many other hispanic countries. We get hardly any in the UK because we're so far from all of them.
