      Its all exaggerated stupidness. The main issue that has caused areas like this to become run down is British black people trying to copy American rap gangsters. This started in the late 80s and early 90s. Then as rap music took off you got other ethnicities joining in but the main issue is predomnantly the black people.

    I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and the similarities between what Newham is going through mirrors a lot of communities in New York. The people who are moving in here by the thousands are changing it through no fault of their own but a lot of NYers have had to moveout because rising cost of living and feeling out of place in their own neighborhoods. To see one long term local business go is heartbreaking but to see a whole block of local businesses get tore down to build a luxury condo building will make you want to leave and not look back sometimes. I still love my home though and wouldn't have wanted to grow up anywhere else

      And just like New York, and London, look at Seattle to see what happens when they start gentrifying and refurbishing.
      The rent triples and they make things like dorm style apts to take full advantage of 10 %population growth with only 1% housing growth. And no one can afford to live there except those tech jobs and in one room apts. I remember having an pretty big 2 bedroom apt in the 2000s with a huge kitchen and living room for 600 a month.
      Those same apartments are 1200 to 1500 a month. And they didn't. Refurbish them. They just raised the rent with the crappy red carpets. Lol.
      Anyhow....the land is worth so much in London, and they don't want to waste space on those on fixed incomes. They want those that will pay stupid expensive rent. And honestly in Seattle, they moved everyone to the outskirts of town, or down the way to another county!!
      It sucks cause you used to know your neighborhood. These money people come in and don't care about the community and it only took just under 20 years to make places in Seattle a bunch of people who don't talk to each other, don't protect each other, and don't want to know each other paying exorbitant prices to live that cause it seems normal, cause Seattle lured all the California streamers and tech youth.

    I'm a 4th generation east ender. My grandad's house & workplace in Newham was bombed during the second world war. My dads sister was a baby when she had her nose broken against the roof of the anderson shelter in the back garden as the result of a jolt as the bombs fell. She is now a millionaire.
    Like most working class, they had no bathroom, no central heating no money & they survived on rations. A far cry from all the luxuries that are taken for granted today!
    Many people use hardship as their strength to do better & succeed. And they win! Regardless of ethnic background, skin colour, culture or religious beliefs. Some people are more dangerous than the places they are in. While others have & show their respect, maturity, common sense, intelligence & pride.

    That was really interesting! I have to admit that having been born and bred in the West End in 1961 and then living in Sweden since 1987, that I had never been in that part of London. The same concerns that you have of the gentrification of Newham has been happening to many areas of London for decades. I grew up around Bayswater and Porchester where we from the area as kids had Kensington Gardens as our playground, so I got the shock of my life when after eighteen years away, seeing how things had changed! I visit very rarely, however every time I go back to London, I feel like a man that is slowly losing his past because the rate of change is extremely rapid to say the least!

    Interesting stuff. I’m 68 and grew up in a homogeneously white working class town in Yorkshire. It was a mining community. Only one family on our street had a car and as kids we could play football and cricket on the street all day long. Everyone voted Labour, apart from my mother who should have given her head a wobble. All the men worked at the pit and there was a strong sense of social solidarity. And then Thatcher arrived. Nuff said.
    I didn’t see a black person until I went to school in Sheffield, aged 11.

    Stratford has seen a rise in crime in recent years/decade. As for the most dangerous place in London, I recall Upper Clapton/Lower Clapton in Hackney during the early 2000's as the most dangerous place in London, aka "Murder Mile!"
    The problem with Stratford's gentrification programme, is that its not there to benefit the locals. Newham Council has been known to pay councils as far as Greater Manchester, to relocate their existing tenant's in Newham from a 2 bed flat, to a 4 bedroom house.
    Going back 4 to 5 years ago in Stratford, when they had the one-way gyratory system, I was shocked to see the amount of tents ⛺ along the streets opposite the Stratford bus station and old shopping centre. Whilst most of these people appeared to be homeless Romanians/Eastern part of Europe, it was a real culture shock for Stratford and the local homeless people who would've never thought they could blatantly erect a tent bang in the centre of Stratford like that!
    Stratford isn't the only borough seeing the rich/poor divide. Dalston in the borough of Hackney, Woolwich Arsenal in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Tottenham in the borough of Haringey and Canary Wharf in the borough of Tower Hamlet's have all gone and are still going through the same experience.

      @@ralphlauren3907 Brixton has always been dangerous until recently with its diversity and gentrification, however it still has its moments every now and then. The same applies with Peckham. Both borough's Lambeth (blacks) and Southwark (Africans) have the highest number's of black people in London than any other borough. Croydon borough also has the highest population for black Caribbeans and has it fair share of crime on the statistics map.
      The fact remains, that Hackney was known as Murder Mile in the 2000's, but as of today all 33 borough's across London have elements of the ghetto, including the suburbs such as Luton, Watford and Darford to name but a few.

    There was once a large Jewish immigrant community living in the what was once considered the slum area of east London known as Brick Lane. Did the youths born in that deprivation hang around in gangs representing the local post code by committing crimes & getting involved in drugs?... No, of course they didn't. They had something invaluable called respect!!!
    They had respect for their parents, respect for their family, respect for their elders, respect for their community, respect for authority, respect for the country they were in & for that they had respect for themselves!!!! They gave that respect to themselves. They didn't need to wait for anyone to give it to them because they could take pride in their own behavior & the efforts they made to work hard towards a better future.
    And they did create a better future! They created what was the tailoring capitol of London in their time & went on to create some of the most prestigious tailoring establishments that exist on Savile Row even now.
    For generations they can now reap the rewards of carrying on the family names of all those that did everything they HONESTLY could do to take themselves & their families out of the squalid, poverty stricken streets of small , dark, dirty & cold dwellings to the big, bright, clean warm house's they call home in up market areas of Golders Green etc.
    Crime is no fault of being young or poor! People young & old need to be properly re-educated on how to live & do it honestly & correctly. Bring back community spirit & look after your neighbourhood. Protect your communities from negative outside influence & bad behaviour. Teach how to live with dignity & put some pride & self respect back into the minds & places where it has failed & where everyone can value each other & the potential to rebuild a better future for everyone!
