It implies that one is trying in any means just so to get a residency status in the UK may it be via student visa or marriage visa. Perhaps filipinas view it differently (we do understand our fellow filipinas) rather than some or other nationalities.
There was a filipina i met and told me that London is the lonliest place to go to when she learned i came from the UK. For other people of other nationalities it mean nothing but for a filipina it mean something else. It is just because she can't go to London and her friend came back to the Phils from London so it may sound envious. It is but natural everyone wants to see or experience good life, see and visit beautiful, amazing places and able to meet other people around the globe.

Cheers!
London can be lonely even for us Brits.
It is like any big city in the world, people often don't have time for each other.
Many people who come from the countryside in the UK find London to be so impersonal, so it must be very hard for some Filipinas to make it home.
Sooner or later big cities begin to feel like home.
