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 […]
So, I live in Bexleyheath. Growing up it used to be an okay town, it wasn’t too bad and there wasn’t enormous amounts of crime (not from my memory at least). I am now 20, and this area has completely changed. It is the hive of all villainy in the galaxy. Yobs, gangsters, roadmen and […]
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 […]

The once thriving market town of Dartford has been a cesspit for almost two decades now. As gentrification sweeps more and more of South London, more and more inner city ne’er-do-wells are pushed into its borders, primarily Dartford, making the place seem more like a rough South London borough, but at the same time the […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Earl’s court. Before reading please remember that we are talking of something supposed to be in zone 1 (border of 1/2). This place is only meant to be a train hub and a road to the western part of the city. The exhibition centre brings a lot of unnecessary affluence to a place that is […]
