Who are the people that make up Londons French community and why did they choose to leave France and settle in London? How is Frenchness played out in physical and digital diasporic spaces? And what impact has Brexit had on French Londoners sense of belonging, identity and embeddedness? French London offers an unprecedented perspective on the everyday lived experience of French migrants in London. Based on years of immersive on-land and on-line empirical enquiry, the book uncovers the motivations underlying mobility from France and the appeal of London as a long-term home.

Through the individual (hi)stories of a diverse group of French Londoners and an ethnosemiotic analysis of blogs and websites, London emerges as a place of liberation and openness, where migrants are free from inequalities encountered in the birthplace of lgalit, whether in education, work or wider society. This volume explores the messy complexity and paradoxical ambivalence of cross-Channel mobility, including herethere, explicitimplicit, physicaldigital, subjectobject and reinventionreproduction dichotomies.

Structured around Pierre Bourdieus concepts of symbolic violence and habitus, the book considers how apparently pragmatic mobility decision-making is often underpinned by powerful social, affective and pre-reflective factors. Its subdivision of habitus into three interrelated components  habitat, habituation and habits  provides an enlightening conceptual lens to examine participants material lifeworlds, the gradual creep of settlement, and a common-unity of practice. From schooling and healthcare to eating and drinking, the migrants evolving behaviours, attitudes, identities and belongings are expertly scrutinised.

Spanning pre- and post-Brexit periods, this timely book gives voice to a largely neglected minority and offers a linguistically and culturally sensitive insight into French migrants on-land trajectories and on-line representations.
