London join me as I discovered the true
reasons behind its decline once a
driving Metropolis is facing a number of
challenges that have negatively impacted
the city
the High Cost of Living has made it
nearly impossible for residents to
afford housing political turmoil and
uncertainty have created economic
hardship and weakened the city's
reputation
[Music]
people were leaving London for a variety
of reasons including High living costs
traffic congestion air pollution and
crime Spain is the leading non-english
speaking country that many British
expats are moving to in search of a more
affordable and relaxed lifestyle
finding an affordable yet Quality Hotel
can be a challenge in London the High
Cost of Living has resulted in sky-high
hotel prices
and pain oh I forgot to look at the
wrong number
did you fix the room
below
can you imagine you just walk in and
somebody or somebody comes out of the
bed
foreign
[Music]
very artsy rooms Royal Velvet curtains
and where's the view towards the street
awesome
definitely London weather I don't think
anybody could come to London and miss
this drizzly drizzly windy and rainy day
we're gonna go get some breakfast
and walk around the city some more
actually it's the first morning for me
here driving here no tank and everything
on the opposite direction I don't even
know where to look Left Right City's
population growth has led to an
increased traffic and air pollution
despite the introduction of a new
driving tax it is unlikely to solve this
problem
[Music]
at least it's not raining and maybe
that's our line porridge for breakfast
and hopefully something else nice and
warm
blood orange porridge with the brittle
[Music]
it looks really delicious these are
pretty healthy looking dishes
[Music]
cute little corner with a photo shoot
going on
London is known for its booming food
scene but the fast-paced nature of the
city puts pressure on businesses causing
some to open and close quickly
[Music]
foreign
this creates a sense of uncertainty and
insecurity leaving some people feeling
lonely and searching for a sense of
community at crowded places
we're on some notable Street here it's
like a little
open Square lots of shops and boutiques
and we're going to check some some bars
called The Alchemist Bar we just passed
it's cold it's sunny but it's cold and
they're like a million covered places
with like food courts some bookstores in
it let's go have a drink have something
something to talk about over a cocktail
wow what a cool wallpaper no it's
actually painted I think
[Music]
it's really cozy and unique look at this
little compartment with potions and
stuff and a live DJ at noon
this place is so cool first of all the
menu right as expected with lots of
symbols and the cocktails are so you can
even have edible cups and flasks the
drinks comes with and then you can
refill them
foreign so he said if you mess it up it
can blow up I don't know even which one
should be first
so cool it has like a a very rich purple
color one
[Music]
wow it's steamy
bubbling look
all these bubbles oh I love it this is
one of the best things I've seen it's so
entertaining
hmm it's more sparkly
and still bubbling in my throat it
explains what it is and it comes in a
little like collectible flask I don't
think this is going to do anything but
next time we're back in London we're
bringing this for refill it only looks
like but it's so rich and beautiful
so let's try this place where
um I've heard you can get a ticket like
a heavily discounted ticket for a show
or theater or play just anything and
we're gonna try our luck maybe we'll go
maybe one but if it's like really good
and it's worth
why not just for a second it's actually
very wet
[Music]
ugly the
SE the weather and the prices by far
prices and weather it can kill you cold
gloomy but when you have one of these
beautiful days ah cozy dark alleys like
from the movies poppy red colors
everywhere amazing food yeah and lots of
culture
okay this is the place there's no I
expected a huge line there's no line
actually Back to the Future it's
something maybe we can get tickets for
it's pretty much for the next hour like
whatever it is like maybe like a last
minute tickets
okay yeah it is there Back to the Future
and a few more could be bad seeds but
it's if you really want to see a show
and you can get it like for cheap like
that's the place it gets dark at four so
that's another ugly thing it's winter
time I know but it gets dark so early
that if we just get into a show right
now at three we're gonna lose the whole
day and I still want to see so many
things
[Music]

London is a city of diverse voices and
emotions and the People Express
themselves in bold and imaginative ways
through ART
these vibrant murals are the
thought-provoking collective voice of
people who refuse to be silenced
their Testament to the power of
creativity
London has a common problem of waste
management and litter but its solution
may be surprising for visitors the
scarcity of trash cans on the streets is
due to past deadly bombings where the
camps were used as drop points be
prepared for the lack of trash cans and
hope for improvement in the future
London metro is a struggle with delays
crowded and outdated trains so just keep
in mind it is cramped and claustrophobic
in the tube
London is a city of contrast that never
fails to Captivate the combination of
dark rainy days and heavy architecture
creates a unique vibe that sets it apart
from other cities
every city has its own mood and
Barcelona is the city which inspired me
to create my new jewelry line these
pieces embody the fluidity of Gowdy's
architecture and the vibrant Mosaic
colors they're crafted in a bold and
sophisticated enamel
face
getting around London can be a challenge
with its expensive transportation and
the rainy weather often forcing the use
of public transport the gap between rich
and poor is constantly growing in the
declining economy only adds to the
pressure these factors make it
increasingly difficult to live in the
city and have led many people to live in
search of something better but no matter
what I always see through the dark days
in London and appreciate the Beauty and
The Accidental blue skies the people are
the ones that live the strongest
impression and lasting impact
collecting Rich experiences like this
reminds me of the time when I left the
lake
memories constantly challenging you to
evaluate your choices
now I'm departing from here with a few
Shades of Gray but a bouquet of flavors
that I will never forget
I like many breeds have found new home
in Spain captivated by the stunning
beauty of Valencia I'm constantly
discovering new and exciting things
about this city from this Rich history
to its vibrant culture Valencia has
captured my heart and soul
