From the Paper:

"Jews from other areas also began immigrating in large numbers between 1870 and 1914. It is estimated 120,000 Jews migrated to Great Britain during this time, and most of them settled in London. Most of them came from Austro-Hungary and Russia, and most of them left their countries because "economic modernization or government policies had deprived them of their customary ways of making a living. The 'pull' factor also was the same: the largest cities in the two English speaking nations offered opportunity and safety" (Berrol, 1994, p. xi). Those with the least amount of funds headed for London, while those with more resources usually traveled to the United States."
