The worst places to live in East London
Hackney – Be careful what you wish for…
I used to live on the Hackney/Lower Clapton border a few years ago, before gentrification. Even back then, I used to think it was rough. Although I used to take a kind of sadistic pleasure in informing any out of town friends visiting, that we were driving down the North London murder mile while on […]
Leytonstone prides itself on the large number of fried chicken shops
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 […]

East Ham
Come to East Ham and get a true lovely welcome! A spit to the face and death stares following you down the street await. Dare to look into an East Ham ****’s eyes and you’ll be “skanked” by another one cycling behind you with a baseball bat down his pants and a three year old […]
Manor Park, London E7 – E12.
Entirely blocked from spreading to the North by the unassailable respectability of Wanstead, and prevented from expansion to the East, by half-decent Ilford and to the West by up-coming Stratford, lies the stagnant pool of liquified **** that is Manor Park. Manor Park. A ******** that is so wretched, it even makes Forest Gate seem […]
Elm Park (East London)
Elm Park is a town in East London, in the London Borough of Havering. The town’s station is on the District Line of the London Underground in between Hornchurch and Dagenham East. I have moved to a small flat here from nearby Barking. My old neighbours from Barking are black and I still keep in touch with […]
Romford is commonly referred to as ‘**** town’
Romford is commonly referred to as ‘**** town’ and i’ve heard that a number of times when people have asked me where i’m from. The thing is, it’s hard to dislike Romford – it’s a slice of fried gold next door to Dagenham and gangster paradise Ilford. But, it’s notorious for a lot of really […]

Bexleyheath (Gone to the Dogs or what?)
Bexleyheath has changed in the last 20 years. When I moved into the area in 1983, it was a nice middle-class type of area. However, since the stupid Bexley Council allowed all those pubs etc to the Broadway area, it has gone downhill faster than the Labour Goverment popularity polls. It has attracted the **** […]
Bexleyheath
Ah Bexleyheath. There have been several posts already on this wonder of a town, yet I feel that no one is summing it up well enough. FIRST A POINT- IF YOU WRITE IN TEXT YOU ARE A ****. THIS IS NOT OPEN FOR DEBATE. SENDING IN THINGS IN TEXT MAKES YOU AN ILLITERATE ******* THEREFORE […]
Thamesmead, one of the hottest up-and-coming charvo towns ever
This has to be one of the hottest up-and-coming charvo- towns ever. It has everything. City planning designed for illegal motorbike riding, its very own Argos, KFC and McDiddles ‘restaurants’, a Ceaucescu-style estate, Wilkinsons, a canal to throw shopping trollies in, and rivalry with nearby loser hotspot Plumstead/Woolwich ****. The local councils have dumped thousands […]
