ABSTRACT
The most traumatic developments in everyday life occur in the life of immigrants; particularly individuals who step into a totally different world through transnational migration sometimes having to completely change their lifestyles over. At the beginning, an immigrant’s everyday life practices with their own disciplined forms take place in immigrant’s cultural baggage; in time have become open to new loadings by unloading this baggage within the migrated culture. This research is about the everyday life of Turkish immigrants living in London. The fundamental questions of this research are the changes in everyday life patterns during and after the migration process that are brought by immigrants and how do immigrants create their life strategies. In the framework of the qualitative methodology, various observations and thirty-seven in-depth interviews that were conducted between November 2014 and July 2015 have composed the data set for this study. After the data analysis, especially immigrants who live close to North London and in face to face relations are found to almost live their everyday lives as if they were in Turkey and they have not experienced a serious transformation in their everyday preferences and social relationships such as clothing, food, watched TV channels and neighbourhood relations while significant changes in everyday life preferences of immigrants who preferred to live outside North London by migrating individually are observed.
