This article focuses on the Portuguese community in London in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Its size increases with the political and religious persecutions by Pina Manique Police Superintendent and with the French invasion from 1807. Through biographies written by community members, the portuguese club meeting minutes and especially newspapers, it is possible to map more precisely the universe of individuals acclimatised there, dividing them into categories such as "agents of the monarchy", "traders", "medical" or "journalists". The importance of these elements lies in the influence they had in the discussion about the future of Portuguese politics, taking an active part in the Lisbon Cortes from 1820. Mapping them more accurately, it is possible to identify their ways of survival in exile, his prevailing business interests and their strategies to interfere in the Luso-Brazilian Kingdom politics.
