Sumario:This article is focused on the geographies of everyday life of young Catalans migrated to London during the economic crisis, aiming to understand how is their life in the city and how they interact with the British capital. We will study their routine during a working day and a day off using everyday diaries, paying special attention to housing, work, daily commuting and leisure activities, as well as the places where they take place. The research shows that their experience is characterized by instability, which has been linked to their condition of being young migrants.
