As a Londoner who lived here for 15 years, I think the Sylheti - non-Sylheti issue has been blown out of proportion here.
There are some cultural differences which should not be surprising. Overall I found an average Sylheti Londoner exactly the same as an average non-Sylheti if you take the cultural differences into account. One notable exception - Sylhetis are much more religious bunch who have built many mosques across the UK.
