The worst places to live in London
So, you’ve found yourself in Elephant and Castle? My condolences. Well, while you try and find the nearest possible exit, why not stop for a moment to marvel at the many wonders that we have to offer here! You ever heard of Michael Faraday? He was born here, and you better believe we’re gonna let […]

Why there so much rubbish everywhere in Hounslow? It seems to be common practice to dump items like fridges, beds, old rusty microwaves and stained mattresses on any available street corner or back alley. I can’t quite work out how or when they dump them, it must be pretty hard not getting seen walking along […]
The London Borough of Hackney has always been regarded by Londoners as an utter dump, or in cockney vernacular “a ********”. In the last ten years , the media has been obsessed with the borough – claiming it has been “gentrifiied”. Of course “gentrification” was nothing more than a scheme for estate agents to charge […]

Clem attlee court, a council estate off of the rubbish laden north end road. The place is full of wannabe boxers and gangsters most of whom are skinny, scruffy and who couldn’t punch their way out of a wet paper bag. The teenagers hang around in tracksuits spouting colourful language at vulnerable passers by. They […]

I’m amazed that there isn’t an article for this on here yet! Ah Ba-a-sea (as we all called it, a local knows it has 2 t’s in the name but neither are used): the home of my formative years in the 80’s. I’ve not been back here since meeting up with a young lady for […]
WEST DRAYTON. Lived around here for years in the sleepy village of Harmondsworth. West Drayton itself is one of the biggest ********* around. Choc-a-block with ****** from neighbouring Langley and Iver, and an ever increasing presence of immigrants settling in all over the place. More coffee shops and fast food takeaways than you can shake […]

I think Brockley 10 years ago would have been a markedly different place: one bereft of the beards, the flat whites and the numerous restaurants offering an approximation of hipster haute cuisine. Now you can’t get on the overground without having your skin exfoliated by the bristles of the creatively bearded, find a “normal” coffee […]

Leytonstone is an area with an eclectic mix of people, an area speared through the heart by not only the motorway/A road running through it but also by the divide of South and Upper Leytonstone. 15 years I have survived here and it is not without its attractions, not just one of the greenest boroughs […]

This is meant to be one of nicest, most expensive boroughs of London, but it seems if you’ve not been mugged, then you will get mugged by the local estate agent, as prices to buy or let are beyond beggars belief. This manor which includes the Shepherd’s Bush ghetto, is one mass polluted, overcrowded, dirty […]
This place used to be exciting, racy and dare I say it classy! Not any more, it is now the home of a serious *********** of ********* that hides behind wads and wads of petro dollars! Boy racers in million pound cars make their best efforts to mow down any pedestrians attempting to cross the […]
The first thing that will great you on arrival to Shepherd’s Bush is a big pile of **** on the floor. Whether it was left by a dog or a human is anyone’s guess but after living here for 2 years I can firmly say it’s probably the latter. After gingerly avoiding it – a […]

Ah Whitton, a once quiet, subtle and small area situated slyly between Hounslow and Twickenham has now become a blight on the surrounding area; even next to Hounslow. You see, after having spent the last 5-6 years living, going to school and generally going out around Whitton, I have experienced the first-hand deterioration of this […]
