Using Emili's list as inspiration:

Turks in the UK:

1: The tourists, these people usually spend most of their time shopping, they love Harrods and Primark, as odd as it sounds !
They also do visit a lot of the touristic sites, such as The London Dungeons and London Speakers corner.
They also visit the Museums.

2. The students that come to study English, well these can generally be divided into two types, those that get extremely lonely and depressed, they end up hating the UK and the ones that never want to leave, that make lots of friends, travel and party.
The second type generally make themselves loads of girlfriends, even though they have someone waiting for them in Turkey. They almost always return to visit or to live. In fact many try to stay and get a work visa.

3. The ones that come to do a Masters or doctorate, they are here to study, so are from very wealthy families. Usually from the bigger cities, they study and do some work experience, they live in West and Central London and try to stay away from other Turks. They spend most of their time on their work. They go back to Turkey to work in their families companies.

4. They moved here as kids with their families (from Cyprus) or used the Ankara agreement to set up a business in the UK. They never left. These people set up all sorts of establishments back in the 1950s such as dry cleaners, restaurants etc. Their children usually went on to higher education and now have set up their own businesses or work for reputable companies. (some did fall off the track though)
