Mirpur, Azad Kashmir

Common card · No. 200127

Mirpur, officially known as New Mirpur City, is the capital of Mirpur district located in Pakistani-administered Azad Kashmir in the disputed Kashmir region. It is the second largest city of Azad Kashmir and the 89th most populous city in Pakistan. A significant portion of the population from the district, the Mirpuri diaspora, migrated to the United Kingdom in the mid-to-late 1950s and in the early 1960s. Mirpur is thus sometimes known as "Little England" or "Little Britain". Many British products are found, and many shops in the city accept the pound sterling.
