  • "Umunna was educated at Hitherfield Primary School in Streatham, South London, and the Christ Church Primary School in Brixton Hill. He says his parents felt that the local state school had "given up on him" and as a result had moved him to the boys' independent senior school St Dunstan's College,[10] in Catford in southeast London, where he played the cello.[11] During this period he was also a chorister at Southwark Cathedral."

    "Umunna was born in London, England. His father Bennett, of the Nigerian Igbo ethnic group, died in a road accident in Nigeria in 1992.[5] Umunna's mother, Patricia Milmo, a solicitor, is of English-Irish background."
