I can honestly say that this has been by far the most impactful and IMPORTANT activities that I’ve sought out during my travels. For context, this was a THREE HOUR food and history tour. However, as you can see, the video is less than 30 minutes long.. I was asked to leave major talking points out of my video to preserve the experience for others who would like to join in person. Truthfully, this was against my personal better judgement but I am inclined to respect my guide’s Obi wishes and did just that. All in all, this was a life changing day for me and a highly highly recommended excursion on your next trip to London 🇬🇧 All booking info for my guide is listed in the description 🙏🏽
*With respect, I urge you to read and educate yourself about the places you travel before arriving based on watching several of your videos. I understand not everyone is formally educated. As a world traveler I have lived in many countries and currently visiting my 39th country. Godspeed.* ❤❤
@@TravelerSannaGood for you. With respect, I’m on the go way too much to sit and research the history of every single place I visit. YOUR way of traveling is not MINE and that’s ok.
@@choklitsoul4700 The interesting thing that most people overlook when it comes to the Windrush is the year of 1948 the same year that the state of Israel was established. The Windrush was the start of Britain completely changing as a nation.
Yes, Black people were used and then discarded when the war was over. The same thing happened in the Dominican Republic. Haitian people were brought over for free labor, but when it was no longer legal enslave them, the government tried to annihilate them. Even to this day the government will not give Haitian people citizenship, even though they have been in the country for decades.
they weren't really significant number of black soldiers fighting for the British... and there definitely weren't a million. There were some 1.5 million Indian troops who fought on the British side, primarily against the Japanese in Burma and in North Africa. The remainder millions of troops were from Britain.
@obibear9261 Please consider starting a YT Channel on Black History in London, you have the skill and passion for communicating black history that would do so well if you had a channel!
The tour guide was FASCINATING!!! This segment was VERY insightful, thank you so much! I admire your bravery to travel alone, especially during times like these: A new sub. here!
I've been traveling alone for 40+ years to various countries. I've moved (with my dog) the past 5 years alone I've lived in three different countries I'll be 66 this winter and have no plans of stopping.
I’ve been on this walking tour of Brixton with Obi! His storytelling was captivating. I highly recommend for an authentic history lesson. The food part was one of the highlights for me.
The algorithm is working today. I saw a screen shot and the autoplay started and recognized the tour guide !!! I did this tour when I visited London this summer. It was amazing. Obi was the man and he made us feel like family!
The tour guide delivered a powerfully engaging journey through the history and contribution of afro-Caribbean people to life and culture here in the U.K.
Thank you for posting this. I live in the states. It is so crazy & fascinating to hear about the struggles in UK/Brixton and the similarities in the US/NY and I'm sure other parts of the world.
Absolutely Loved this video, Proud to be a descendant of the Windrush era, My Father came to England, from Jamaica, on the Windrush. Tour Guide, was spot on, with his description, as to how many Black people, were treated, when they 1st got here, just shows, our resilience as a People, We are Amazing. Safe travels, Jasmine, cant wait for the next video.
I’m a Jamaican woman living in the U.S. (NJ). Thanks for sharing what you could of the Brixton tour. I also have family living in England. I’m so proud of my fellow Jamaicans and their contributions to England. You’ve earned a new subscriber. I’m looking forward to checking out your other vlogs.
I recommend people to watch an old film called ‘Black Joy’ based in Brixton in the 60’s or early 70’s, if you have an interest in Brixton or Londons black community’s it is a good film to go back too and others like ‘Babylon’ ‘pressure’ etc
@@reighn205 They are separate films. You have others like, Burning an illusion, Young soul rebels, Bullet boy, Rolling with the nines. They are all different genres of films. A documentary I would recommend would be Bang bang in the manor, produced by: Ishmahil Bladgrove (not for the faint hearted) and Battle for Brixton
@@jumbees5524 my family in the states barely knew black people existed in the UK 🤭 it’s funny how they react too different aspects of black British lifestyles, each one is unexpected to see it’s existence in the UK and I totally understand because I understand history. Maybe my family have lest excuse because they are of West Indian decent, but people forget that the mainlands of America has had black people just as long as the Caribbean, so I don’t even know why we as black British people ask them where they are from, not all black British people can tell you what part of Africa they are from
Me and my Wife just got back from London two days ago. Didn’t know anything about Brixton. She’s Trinidadian and Indian and would love it there as well as myself (Cape Verdean). Def gonna hit him up next round. 🤙🏽✊🏽✌🏽
I will forever hold the memories of my wonderful t life in Brixton. I am a product of windrush. He is an excellent guide I learned a lot from him that I did not know. Excellent video..
The patty shop you went to is not the first jamaican restaurant in Brixton.. a real Brixtonian a talk..Good to see that some aspects of the old back a day Brixton is still there...but gentrification has taken over..nothing wrong with change, but inclusion needs to be part of that change....miss the old Brixton soooo much...❤❤❤❤❤
Just for clarification purposes.... I may have misspoke but... Healthy Eaters started their business 21 years ago with a food truck in the market and have grown to the point of owning their current space. Them being the 1st in Brixton is not correct. Having been born and raised in Brixton... my original Jamaican bakery was First Choice Bakers on the corner of Market Row.
I recommend reading Small Island by Andrea Levy, it touches on the lives of windrush soldiers after the war as well as british people living amongst them
Obi did a great job with explaining the history of the area and introducing the foods from the various groups, I definitely would like to pay a visit now.
Was in London on Electric Ave. In July 2024. Got the beef patty, coco bread, and fritter from same Jamaican shop. Best I’ve had in a long time. Love the market.
Baby girl, Continue doing what is placed on your spirit to do. Your content is valuable and informative. Use these haters as your motivation. You have people from all over the world LITTERALLY tapping in. Your content is appreciated! Safe travels always and I can't wait to see more 🙏🏾❤️
I was in Brixton almost 40 years ago! It was amazing seeing the African women in their native dress on a Sunday! It was refreshing seeing lots of Black people like myself after several months in countries were I was one of a few or the only Black! Thanks for bringing back the memories through your video!
@@username4261 I know 😕 I'm not sure why... There are so many of the other islands over here, JA definitely deserve it's dues. But the other islands most definitely play a big part also. It wasn't just JA on the Windrush boat to my recollect?
Definitely not the first, I think they meant as a food truck it was one of the first and then they opened a restaurant 21 years ago. I could be wrong but as you rightly stated, 21 years is nowhere near the first.
@@stephaniebrown9834 the first for them. I would say any uk inner city that had a black community started to open up food shops barbers and records by the 70’s
This tour looks 🔥 and the amazing tour guide's passion and knowledge makes it top tier! Thanks sis for sharing because I will now look to do this when I visit. 💜
Greetings. Wicked video 👊🏼 I lived a couple of years in London in the early 2000s. I haven't been to Brixton in ages and back then I went there mostly to get African products. However this guide adds a new dimension to it with his extensive knowledge and passionate presentation. I will defo get in touch with him for a tour with my Kenyan wife who has never been to the UK. My best friend's parents came with the Windrush in the 50s from Jamaica so I have heard many stories first hand but never so close up and detailed. Subscribed. Boom
Thinking of my parents, grandparents and many other relatives and friends going shopping in the market. The struggle they had to get recognised by society for their input in this society as part of the wider community. Windrush square is a place that we felt shows were here. Mwah❤
Great content, Jasmine. The tour guide was top notch, and the information shared regarding Brixton was highly educational. Blessings for continued safe travels.🤗🌹
Not sure how your page came across my timeline but I’m taking my first trip to London in October and I’m so excited. This is an amazing video. Kuddos to you!
During my time as a study abroad student in London, I found myself nestled in the charming surroundings of Gloucester Square. This city, with its rich tapestry of history and culture, became my classroom as I delved into a project that sought to uncover the profound influence of Black culture on the UK. My research led me to the heart of Brixton, a neighborhood that pulsates with life, creativity, and a deep sense of community. Known for its vibrant streets, Brixton offered an authentic glimpse into the diverse narratives that shape British culture. I had the privilege of interviewing some of the lovely residents, each with stories that danced between tradition and modernity, resilience and joy. One of the highlights of my time in Brixton was attending a poetry club. The atmosphere was electric, filled with passionate performances that resonated with the struggles and triumphs of the Black community. Each word spoken was a testament to the power of expression and the role of art in social commentary. It reminded me that Brixton is not just a place; it’s a vibe-a celebration of heritage, creativity, and unity.
my next vacation to London. I’m going to find this gentleman right here. I love his accent He knows the history of the culture of that side of Pop Brixton .. The food looks amazing. He tells you each food is and let you know what you are eating I want to try this food place when I go out there to London. He is definitely a great tour guide❤🔥
This video is one of my faves BY FAR! I’m all about a history moment and this would’ve had me all day. I can’t with to get back to the uk and explore ❤
This is making me cry! All the history from the past being shown, taught, the trials and brutality endured, the advancements from extremely hard work, the collaborations between communities, the amazing blend of cultures and love (and tension) between them, all of this is so overwhelming. It's amazing to see it. Watching this content is an experience! Love and appreciate all of you! Big up yourself!

I appreciate it much! You have a new subscriber for sure and I'm looking 4ward 2 more of your content! Cheers and God Bless!
Notting Hill in the west, Brixton and Peckham in the south, Whitechapel/Brick Lane and Hackney in the east, Tottenham in the North, and Harlesden in North West - obviously missing a lot of other places but I'd argue these were the major hotspots for post war urban London and learning more about the history of these in particular will form a holistic view of has things have changed for the average London city yute
This was dope! Thanks for sharing. Took my family to London last year for the Falcons game- bucket list item- we stayed in the Mayfair district and went to most of the tourist spots. Looking forward to going back and exploring Brixton!
2011...One day in London, en route to Paris and Italy...started at the tube, tower bridge, I saw the eye, a guard, Ate fish, chips and mash, St Pancreas...typical travel tourist stuff, pretty women around the city. I did have the wherewithal to go to Brixton because I heard that the basketball Luol Deng grew up there. This is the type of real travel to experience,,,a regular neighborhood with real Londoners. Didn't see much, but now I know to hit it next time.
Brixton is a place I'd love to visit. 'Down to earth' place and people. Seems like a nice vibe and from what I'm seeing, it seems a very diverse neighborhood. All good with mutual respect and regarding each other with tolerance. Greetings and much love to the people of Brixton. See you all one day
First time seeing you and I really enjoyed this video! So informative and the guide is awesome. If I ever travel across the pond I'd love to do this tournament!❤
This is pure magic. Thank you for sharing this. Brixton is a beautiful city. The food, culture, and people were lovely. You have a new subscriber. Gift!
YESSSS!!! Thank you so much for sharing this journey!!! I'm In Love ❤❤ Thanking God in Advance for Your Amazing Adventures Ahead!!! BLESSINGS upon Blessings!!!❤😊😊
It weird because I grew up in working class council estates in South West London and then in Manchester in my teens. But I am now guilty of sipping flat whites at these hipster coffee shops in places that were once very working class like Shoreditch and Battersea. I feel like I am part of the problem despite earning a modest salary if about 35k a year and only just managing to make ends meet living in London. I just happen to like the coffee in these places but some of the people that gentrify working class areas have nothing to do with the local residents who grew up there.
I’ve lived near Brixton my whole life but never actually knew the history behind it, this was super interesting - thank you ✨ Next time you come you have to try the Caribbean food from New Tings and/or True Flavours on Acre Lane, not too far from where you were 🤍🤍
Loved this!! Before I scrolled down, I said I hope Jasmine tells us who this tour guide is and the name of the tour. Of course you did! 💗 Thanks for taking us along. PS what was the name of the pub with the rap battle?

I appreciate it much! You have a new subscriber for sure and I'm looking 4ward 2 more of your content! Cheers and God Bless!
The history of Notting Hill is quite interesting too. love infinity my people! memories man......💯❤
Notting Hill in the west, Brixton and Peckham in the south, Whitechapel/Brick Lane and Hackney in the east, Tottenham in the North, and Harlesden in North West - obviously missing a lot of other places but I'd argue these were the major hotspots for post war urban London and learning more about the history of these in particular will form a holistic view of has things have changed for the average London city yute
This was dope! Thanks for sharing. Took my family to London last year for the Falcons game- bucket list item- we stayed in the Mayfair district and went to most of the tourist spots. Looking forward to going back and exploring Brixton!
I absolutely love this tour! Please add the link to get the same tour guide. He was just awesome!
All of his info is listed in the description of the video 🫶🏽
This was so refreshing and knowledgeable ❤❤❤❤thank you
2011...One day in London, en route to Paris and Italy...started at the tube, tower bridge, I saw the eye, a guard, Ate fish, chips and mash, St Pancreas...typical travel tourist stuff, pretty women around the city. I did have the wherewithal to go to Brixton because I heard that the basketball Luol Deng grew up there. This is the type of real travel to experience,,,a regular neighborhood with real Londoners. Didn't see much, but now I know to hit it next time.
Great content. Totally enjoyed watching.
thank youuuu 💕💕
I'm thinking if going to London next month. This tour is a must if I go. Thanks Jasmine!
Thank you for going to Brixton. I have so many memories there from the 80s onwards ❤❤❤
Thank you for showcasing our city and our history to your community ❤
It's my pleasure 💗💗💗
The history of black people in the U.k. goes way, way back... Windrush although significant is only a part of the story. 😊
Brixton is a place I'd love to visit. 'Down to earth' place and people. Seems like a nice vibe and from what I'm seeing, it seems a very diverse neighborhood. All good with mutual respect and regarding each other with tolerance. Greetings and much love to the people of Brixton. See you all one day
First time seeing you and I really enjoyed this video! So informative and the guide is awesome. If I ever travel across the pond I'd love to do this tournament!❤
Gurrrl I grew up in Brixton. So many memories. Fantastic insight into the area. Big up yhe tour guide

I love Brixton. I feel like a visit to Brixton is an opportunity to really understand Britain and its history of empire.

Where it says “Lesotho”… my grandfather was part… I’d love take this particular tour with this exact gentleman… very interesting
Love that you visited the Black Farmer. Brixton looks fun.
My mom was from Dominica, and her uncle served in World War 2, and a man who was from the same area, he was killed in France. He was flying a mission.
Really cool yo👏💪😎in Hobbs and Shaw that was Elba's character name loved the name in the movies and it's got a dope history behind it
I appreciate this video doc so much! Thank you. Peace from LA
This tour guide is dope - I love how much he talks about Gentrification and how it expresses itself in Brixton. Does he have an IG?
Less than 45 seconds in and I INSTANTLY SUBSCRIBED! 🔔🏃🏾♀️💨
Very educated your guide! I love this!
Just discovered your channel! I love when history and traveling combine 📚🌍
It weird because I grew up in working class council estates in South West London and then in Manchester in my teens. But I am now guilty of sipping flat whites at these hipster coffee shops in places that were once very working class like Shoreditch and Battersea. I feel like I am part of the problem despite earning a modest salary if about 35k a year and only just managing to make ends meet living in London. I just happen to like the coffee in these places but some of the people that gentrify working class areas have nothing to do with the local residents who grew up there.
Wow this is amazing , this seems soo good and I go brixion but don’t explore I just get what I need then go home
Wow! Brixton market looks so vibrant and enticing. I haven't visited that part yet, only been to the high street by the station.
I just left London. Never made it to Braxton and I’ll definitely go there first next visit.
I’ve lived near Brixton my whole life but never actually knew the history behind it, this was super interesting - thank you ✨
Next time you come you have to try the Caribbean food from New Tings and/or True Flavours on Acre Lane, not too far from where you were 🤍🤍
Thank you so much for this! literally obsession with history at the moment so super informative xx
Loved this!! Before I scrolled down, I said I hope Jasmine tells us who this tour guide is and the name of the tour. Of course you did! 💗 Thanks for taking us along. PS what was the name of the pub with the rap battle?
Thank you for this awesome video! Now I want to go to London and check out that festival next year
My second home! every time I go to London, thats my first stop ALWAYS!!
