Political Expression in Little Tehran

Finchley has recently become an important place for political activism among Iranians living abroad.

Following major political developments in Iran, residents gather in the neighborhood to discuss the country’s future.

Some shop windows display images of Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s last shah.

For some members of the diaspora, he symbolizes a possible democratic future for Iran.

Others advocate different political systems.

Despite differing views, the community shares a strong desire for change.
