In the US we have Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses that do this; are there any similar in the UK and what kind of religion do they proselytize?

We have Jehovah’s Witnesses position themselves on key cycle and walking routes where I live and outside catholic schools at start time. I had a door knock once where I took a leaflet and they never came back.

Manchester has a huge amount of Mormons who go there to spread Mormonism supposedly, not sure if they do in reality.

We do then get a few religious fundamentalists on the high streets and the like, the bit by the bull at the bullring is well known for this and sometimes people trying to sell religious texts or flog leaflets asking you about god, they’ll back off if you say you’re not interested.

Of the understanding it’s far less dominant here than over in the states
