first we enter a series building situated in the steel gates lavishing both this impressive location is the residence of the russian ambassador of kensington palace gardens to the most expensive and elite addresses in the british capital. photographs a possum bust it is in public figures grace to lose an extravagant gifts from various leaders and dignitaries adorn the rooms. wow absolutely breathtaking the soviet embassy moved into this building in one nine hundred twenty nine also known as harrington house it was one of the few venues in the area the bravely use the number thirteen but scared of anything another interesting fact is that they just pay one pound a year for the rent here but on the flip side of that the british embassy residence in moscow pays just one ruble which is actually fifty times cheaper a good price to both every year the u.k. consular section issues two hundred thousand visas for russians who want to visit

london the russian embassy says it supports the russian business while in britain offering assistance wherever possible but how does the embassy help british and russian relations i think the russian culture needs no major. introduction or advertisement here. because russia is a branch of the european christian civilization and i think we share the same. values fruitarian values the same perception of the good and bad. life and few will and. there's no such thing as a cultural barrier between the two issues the russian cultural heritage is extremely. popular here to keep them around the world never the russian theater's russian to foreigners who are arrived. it always attracts. a big big number of. parents and order. it's not me but him see parties illegal

drugs and the v.i.p. just said partying in dreams like this many young middle class christians live in london and that brings us to this week's guess. a little why do you think russians love london so much seven status i guess the level of the people that rational that they could makes here is aristocracy celebrities it was different it wasn't the same that we had in russia. you know you could go to elton john ball here you can do it now probably in moscow but you couldn't do that before so people i guess were really detracted by all that and you were from magazine so i presume that you were out every single hour to different events and functions that's through a lot a lot of what's the are russian social scene like russians don't seem to congregate just in one place if you go to nobu if you go to if you go to new how you will

hear russians russian speech so it will be. glamourous places i guess for the new generation of russians who grew up around europe the most expensive places are not necessarily the best so you'll see a lot of people you know about to shoreditch hanging out in self they prefer their friends be rather than. well as i. would like to thank you. because scene of russia and the former soviet republics is not an pancakes why not try something new and right in the heart of london is not a bone strong some accounts in the name of the beach. opened in two thousand and ten and already he's gained a reputation visit a venue he specializes in central asian cuisine offering its international guests

famous london square as an elite central areas of the capital are the places to live in the places to be seen over the past twenty years thousands of wealthy russians have moved to london with large houses in the sense that batching millions of pounds many local a safe ages have welcomed the new russian custom is. why the british capital well that's why they're out. of the treasury and very famously wrote the book london crowd of the oligarchs here in london yes the london grad because so many wealthy russians have moved to london for the last ten years and i think most of the other famous all they go but also a lot of more middle class russians have moved here as well i think they like the lifestyle of. history like that part of this is. the russians like the schools as well so they bring the children the families. and i think that's

the main reason why the rights to decide to fight me to just scrap both right well this is. just to squelch is otherwise known as red square people so the russian is a big houses. down the street. and you have most problems is houses here will cost at least fifteen. pounds sterling to buy. it's a very historic square i think most of the russian. boy here because they feel it's part of the british establishment. wants to buy a house here in the fall of the ruling elite and that's what they like. moving to a final location at the victoria and albert museum a temporary exhibition on the influential russian artistic director saying. he founded one of the most exciting don'ts companies in the twentieth century. douglas
