North Korean nationals must have a visa to travel to the UK. Information on North Korean nationals who have entered the UK is published in the Home Office’s ‘Immigration Statistics, October - December 2016’, visa data tables volume 1, table v_05, available via the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-october-to-december-2016/list-of-tables#visas
These data shows the number of entry clearance visas issued to North Korean nationals since 2005.
