Social media creator and YouTuber Meharma claims that people praise life in London. Her comments show that the city’s streets are not as people say. In the viral video, the vlogger describes the area with the audio, “This is London, baby.” She further warned viewers that these sights may be unpleasant to viewers. The YouTuber captures a scene on the London Tube, where passengers cover their mouths due to a foul odour.

The creator highlighted the garbage and dirty surroundings of the city, stating that these sights are the reason for the foul smell throughout the city. The video highlights how London people use public transport as toilets and garbage bins, as they pee and litter all over the seats of the London Tube.

She further compared the visuals to sites in South Asia and asked viewers whether they believed the video was recorded near Lahore’s Bhati Gate in Pakistan rather than in London. She further revealed how such instances are very common in public spaces. The video also emphasises how the streets of London are filled with Indian desi cloth stores, to which the vlogger stated, “London ka toh haal hi koi nahin bacha .”

Social Media Reacts To The Viral Video

People flooded the comment section with a range of reactions as soon as the video went viral. Some viewers agreed with her, stating, “You make very outstanding videos that demonstrate the reality of London,” and “After living in London for a few months and then in the northwest, I would never, for a million bucks, choose to live or raise my kid in London.” Others wrote, “It’s not only London; I live in the US, and once I was sitting on a bus, and I smelt pee so bad. All of a sudden, I found a guy who was sitting next to me was peeing, and it was literally on my shoe. I couldn’t sleep that night. Since then, I have never travelled in a local bus or train.”
