What’s it really like to grow up young and multicultural in London — one of the world’s most exciting and expensive cities?
Meet Avesta, a 22-year-old London-born student with Iranian roots, as he takes us through an average day in his life. From jogging through green neighborhoods in West London to navigating the Tube, studying physics and computer science, and hanging out in Chinatown, this video offers an honest look at daily life in the British capital.
London is known for its diversity, opportunity, and culture — but also for its rising cost of living. Can young people still afford to live here?
