A Palestinian family, stranded in London during Israel’s 2008 war on Gaza, opens a café and adapts to uncertainty. This ethnography follows their efforts to recreate home, introducing the concept of ‘anchoring’ to explore migration, home and place, highlighting the fluidity, temporariness and serendipity of these experiences.
