I had no idea Croydon had gone down so bad. Often would go to the Whitgift Centre back in the 1990s and actually worked not far from West Croydon station. I guess the reason for the decline cant be discussed though.
The last time I went back to C roydon was about 5 years ago = after once living there ... the Whitfigt was a deserted dump fillled with nohting but tat shops and plastic bucket shops .. Croydon isn't the end of the world but they do sell tickets for it there
Broken Britain
Let me guess, immigrants? It's always immigrants, innit? Press the easy button.
@@dallysinghson5569
Pressed it. Now you press your head in the sand button
The stabbing of the 13 year old girl was particularly shocking because she was a respectable private school pupil who went to one of the best schools in the country and was waiting for a bus to go to school - she died in her school uniform in the morning daylight.
She was a beautiful lovely girl - beautiful personality not just looks - who was stabbed and murdered whilst sticking up for her friend who was being harassed whilst they waited at a bus stop for a London double decker red bus to take them to school - we don’t have yellow school busses here
Croydon is awful.
But it's still doesn't compare to Americas worst.
Nowhere in Britain does
London is more dangerous than New York so how do work that out?
I wouldn't put money on that ... They dont' call Croydon Chigaco for nothing ..
@101steel4 I agree. Strangely enough I was reading up on the most violent countries and out of 162 countries UK came in at 126 while America is 33 most dangerous country. Not just gun crime but so much more knife crime per 100 thousand people. So, you are correct. I hate it when people moan when it's not necessary usually.
@@emmafrench7219 this is not true not even close. Why lie
@@charliecosta3971 it is though, america is way worse
He has just interviewed the worst people he can find - he's just trying to get a big audience! Croydon is a bit rough but nothing like he is making it out to be!
Yeah, I totally get what you’re saying. It’s easy to edit these vids to make them sound much worse than they are. Just to get views. It’s always interesting when you get another vid of someone from that area, countering the other guys narrative. Just for perspective.
I wouldn’t choose to live in Croydon but it’s not as bad as he’s saying. And btw It’s Croydon Surrey, not London!!!
Considering out of 162 countries the UK came in at number 126 most violent. I think we are doing ok. (US came in at 33rd most violent country.
I've lived in Croydon since 1990 and never thought of the place as any more dangerous than anywhere else I've lived. The riots in 2011 were a bit scary, but they were brief and there have been similar (sometimes even much worse) events elsewhere (Chapeltown, Toxteth, Brixton etc.) - most of the time, everything is fine. I wish people would stop making stupid, scare-mongering videos with very little in the way of facts to back them up...
I lived in W Croydon London Road for 9 years. I can give you some facts and anyone who says Croydon is not the bad is rolling a turd in glitter. Croydon is a god forsaken dump and you'd be lucky to find any company that would give yo life insurance if your post code started CRO ...
@@booth2710 One person's "facts" is another persons anecdote. There are how many hundreds of thousands in Croydon, they're not all going to be mugging victims y'know.
Exactly. This guy isn’t giving the whole picture. When I graduated, I lived in the “worst area” of the city as I thought it was going to gentrify. I moved to the poshest area 2 years later. The people in the poorest area were so kind and genuine. The richest area had rude entitled arrogant twats. The poor area is much better now and 80% of the original population still live there which is great.
I’ve lived in Croydon for 43 of my 48 years. It’s rough, but not as rough as suggested
Grew up there & most of my childhood friends still live there, and I agree. Gets way too much of a bad rep, it's really not that bad.
Yeah I agree, it's my home for majority of my life.
Don't go out after dark in Croydon.
Don't go to Croydon without and armoured car
There's worse places outside london, sadly.. obviously, it's rough, but I feel it gets more attention because it's in London
It's dark all day in Croydon
I'm from the same area as the interviewer, but i used to live in East Croydon, yes West Croydon even 20 years ago was bit rough compared to East Croydon but i never felt unsafe there.
That old shopping mall is (or was?) called "The Whitgift Centre" (...pronounced " _wit_ gift_ ").
Yes, and that part he walked through at the back has always been a bit...dead! There was never really anything there apart from some offices, a bank, and back entrances to WHSmiths and British Home Stores!
@@andybaker2456
I've only ever gone past the Whitgift Centre on the bus - before the last visit my eldest and I took to Croydon, via the tram from Beckenham... We went to 'Rock Bottom' to buy a new guitar strap for my strat*, and got a few plectrums, and had a look around before spending _quite a few Provident vouchers_ in the record shop (might have been HMV?!) then off to Pizza Hut, before catching the tram back to Beckenham, and a bus home to Bellingham ...we enjoyed our day trip to Croydon that day, (and I doubt many would imagine such a statement from someone like me - I must've been in my late fifties / very early sixties back then!!) ...and nowadays my poor😟(not* a Fender) strat🎸 stands unplayed in the corner of my room! And, my eldest now lives and works in Kimberley, BC Canada.🇨🇦🤔🏴♥️🇬🇧😏🖖
Used to go there all the time back in the day. Late night Thursday shopping
Why do productions like this always pick the nutters to interview? They never seem to interview people that are doing alright
Why does the media always throw horror stories at us more than the happy ones?
@jamesbowring9528 Simple...they do it for likes and comments!
Tbh most people don't want to be on camera. And most people in Croydon are nutters. I see them everyday.
Croydon is a very big place. There's a large chunk of Croydon that is idyllic suburbia
Like adiscombe or however you spell it?
I was born in Croydon and lived there most of my life. Moved away 9 years ago. It was a commuter community back in the 1980's and I loved the night clubs. Things started to change after the Financial crisis of 2007. I don't think covid and lockdowns helped, Most of the shops in the Whitgift Centre closed.
I lived in SE London for 35 years and worked in Croydon for 12. I would regularly go out with friends and work colleagues after work, usually getting highly inebriated and then walking the 5kms home. Not one time did I ever encounter a directly threatening situation or did I fear for my personal safety. BTW - I'm 6'5" and 235lbs so that may have been a factor., I departed the UK for good in 2018 so perhaps things have changed since then? In any case I'm still the same height and weight, so I wouldn't hesitate to return to Croydon.
I grew up in mitcham and used to go to Croydon all the time in the 70s/80s.
It's definitely not the same place now.
6'4 22 stone and wouldn't want to go there these days
@@101steel4 You surprise me. Things must REALLY have changed since 2018, when I came to Thailand. Perhaps you would be kind enough to explain what has changed so negatively? You see, I'm not content here on quite a few scores and was considering relocating (back home was one option I'd considered)
@@101steel4i think its become a shit hole over the last 10 years at most. Not in the late 2000s but post mid 2010 . At least i was a kid in that era and everything seemed alright. Nowadays you hear the worst. And i solely believe its because everyone whos problematic gets shipped there to live. Whether it be people with ASBOs or ex prisoners who aint learned theor lessons , to drug dealers. Apparently a large part of croydon is cheap as shit to live in now. Perhaps it attracts these type of people . Not to say cheap always =bad. But who knows. Theres something bad in the air down there nowadays (socially)
And schooling isnt even getting better either. Everyone wants to be "hard" now. Its the latest social trend in the uk. Its stupid
Connor, I think he was talking about Railton road where there were riots in the 1980's.
Your comments about tribalism are spot on, whether related to religion, nationality, area, even football club, the basic laws of the country must be upheld while they live there, if they do not they shouldn't claim discrimination, we are sometimes too tolerant. Great reaction.
In the 1970's and 1980's when I worked I Croydon it was a good place to work and be safe.
2 things Croydon is a Borough of London not a town London contains 2 city's and anywhere can be dangerous if you only judge a place on its crime figures .
Chicago (Illinois) last weekend : 98 shot , 17 fatally (Abc news ) , waiting for your comment ! 🤪
I've known Croydon my whole life. It's fair to say that it's changed over the years, but much of that is down to the general death of the British High Street. Croydon used to have Allders, which was the third largest department store in the country after Harrods and Selfridges. My mum actually worked in Allders for a large part of the 80s. It closed down a number of years ago, which was the final nail in the coffin for Croydon town centre. There is very little there now to attract the casual visitor, whereas it used to be an incredible shopping centre, and attracted people from all over. Consequently, it's no longer the place it used to be, but I wouldn't say it's any worse than some other parts of London. You can find blokes like that first one he spoke to in pretty much every part of London (who, by the way, was saying Railton Road, not round road! It was the epicentre of the Brixton riots in the early 80s). Plus the area around West Croydon station where he was being interviewed has always been a bit rough. Any Croydon resident who is down on their luck will call it "sh*t", as they would any part of London. Croydon gets picked on because it used to be considered a well-to-do area, but sadly, it is no more. That's not to say that there aren't still some very expensive areas of Croydon!
I worked in Croydon for 12 years, while living in Crystal Palace. You mentioned Allders - a fine upmarket store with a sister branch in Beckenham. My wife and I still use the Derby porcelain dinner set bought for us from Allders as a wedding gift in 1992. I miss Allders for their proper old-fashioned customer service.
@@thesummerthatwas76 It was a lovely store! Although they had quite a few branches, as well as stores that were part of the Allders group but not named Allders (such as Arding & Hobbs, Clapham Junction), Croydon was their flagship store. My mum loved the time she spent working there. I even went to a couple of their staff social club events! It was a sad day when they closed their doors for the last time, not only for their customers, but also for Croydon.
@@andybaker2456 I remember seeing Arding & Hobbs from the train as it stood at the platform in Clapham Junction. I thought it looked too posh for the young me, with its grand 1920s/30s Art Deco exterior. I didn't know that it was in the same group as Allders, though now it makes sense.
@@thesummerthatwas76 I actually grew up in Battersea, so Arding & Hobbs was our local department store. Their bargain basement was a favourite haunt of mine on pocket money day! 😁
@@andybaker2456 So nice to meet and chat with you Andy. I'm Alan. Living in Thailand is like living on Mars - if you don't speak the language it's extremely limiting and isolating - though knowing what they say isn't much more interesting. They simply know nothing about everything, which makes stimulating conversation an unknown phenomenon. Why, oh why, did I move here? Don't ask me. I have no answer.
Can't quite work out why you have a picture of Camden Lock in your thumbnail...

@rejapgee The video he reacted to initially started in Camden Town, from where he bloke took the Tube and Overground to West Croydon.
@@jackdaniels4346 But not a screenshot of West Croydon - the theme of the video.
@@andybaker2456 But the video is about West Croydon. He could have started his journey in Kensington - you wouldn't expect a picture of that place in the thumbnail, would you?
Rarely has someone who knows so little spoken so much.
Up until i moved to the south coast, I lived and cabbed in Croydon until 2004 , and was always reluctant to go to a job (private hire) anywhere in West Croydon, more so at night!
@@davethatcher4954 I remember even when I was a kid in the 70s, West Croydon was always a bit scruffy compared to the rest of Croydon. Most visitors who arrived by train at West Croydon would turn left as they left the station! 😁
I still rememner when I lived in Croydon in the 90s when that cab driver in New Addington, Croydon n had his throat slit open on Christmas day working to earn some extra money to pay for his Christmas presents. That tells you all you need to know about Croydon.
@booth2710 Some of my family lived in New Addington for a while back in the mid-70s, it's always had a bad reputation. They got out of there as soon as they could and moved to Sutton.
@@andybaker2456yep, as a kid i used to look at it as the same . But the entirety of croydon just has drug dealers romaing about and kids on their bikes now. Literally croydon town was nothing like that 15 yrs back. nothing like that. West croydon has always been a shit hole it seems though
I worked in Croydon 1985-2015, it started to deteriorate around 1995, only gradually at first but, but quite rapidly in more recent years, I no longer go back. Additionally Croydon council went bankrupt three times in two years, so it’s become expensive to live there and the local government services are poor.
I moved to Croydon in about 1996. It wasn't too bad then and the Whitgift centre was a great place to shop and always buzzing. Croydon was brilliant for shopping and transport links into central London ... but in the later 90s Croydon really started to go down hill and got more and more violant .. I left in 2004 and really couldnt' get out of the place quick enough, It got so bad and I was once violantly mugged in a phone box on the street on London Road. When I first moved to Croydon I loved it and reall felt part of something. By the time I left I hated it and wouldnt have cared if someone dropped a nuclear bombon it. It is crime ridden beyond redemption
The older gentlemen is talking about the Brixton riots and saying Croydon could go that way - maybe check out the Brixton riots.
I think knife crime is personal you have to feel that knife go into a body guns are detached.
I'm in Croydon most days and it's a shithole, you wipe your feet when you leave. We know why but not allowed to say, but crime statistics don't lie.
You can say exactly anything you wish to Tobes (you just don't like being exposed or debated) and surely you've heard the phrase 'lies, damn lies, and statistics' - perhaps you just don't understand its premise.
I’ve lived in Croydon my entire life (50years) and it has changed so much!
The last few councils that we’ve had, have only cared about money and their greed has caused them to become bankrupt.
Residents have been routinely lied to, promised new shopping centres, new jobs opportunities but every time they fall through.
The shop rents in the Whitgift centre kept being raised until they became unaffordable.
Youth centres have been closed. Independent shops have closed.
Having Lunar House so near West Croydon has not helped. Every morning there are queues of migrants waiting for their hand-outs before half of them disappear into the ether!
There are gangs of youths roaming the town actively looking for rivals.
I actually knew the man who had been the architect for the original Whitgift Centre (when it still had the spiral ramp and no roof).
It was a town full of promise but I think the turning point was when we had the Croydon Riots (which were unnecessary in Croydon as the event that caused them had nothing to do with Croydon) but the police, fire brigade and ambulance service all became targets that night!
West Croydon. the Chicago of the UK. Absolute god forsaken dump. I know ... i lived there 9 years and left 20 years ago. It was skulls on sticks when I lived there so fu ck knows how bad it is now. The last month I was there there were 3 murders on my street alone - one right next door to my door step. Wouldn't go there now for a gold clock. It really is as bad as it's reputation. The best thing about West Croydon is the three railway stations out of there.
All due to lack of government funding.
According to labour.
You get the weirdest people on the street side of west croydon for real. Its crazy how the government does fuck all...FUCK..ALL. the government have always been pretentious fuckers when it comes to uk poverty. Turning a blind eye.
I can remember walking around Croydon in the early 1990s feeling really impressed by all it had to offer! That same shopping centre - the Whitgift Centre I think it was called, was the biggest and best I'd ever seen in my life at that time - there was just everything in there, from fancy, national chain stores to humble little cafes and small businesses - and it was absolutely heaving with people! Not only that, but the surrounding streets were also jam packed by similar businesses - entire blocks taken up by single department stores and all; and it just felt so futuristic! Then I was there again recently and saw this - not even a shadow of its former self. To be honest, although it might bring different expectations or even values, I really don't think that multiculturalism is responsible, Connor. No, what you see here is a failure of unrealistic capitalism - a casualty of shifting times, if you like. For community is the product of places that work: major centres of employment that are reasonably close to where people live - in order that they can get to know one another and form supportive relationships; often sharing common denominators such as housing that is kept to a reasonable standard and that is affordable - not by the definitions of government, but by the definitions of people themselves, in accordance with their earnings and social circumstances - who know what is expected of them and what they in turn, might expect in return. It is the product of locally-based schools, where children grow up and learn these things together and so much more besides - not as rivals, nor in competition with one another. It is the product of outings to shared local facilities - shopping centres, sport and leisure facilities, parks and woodlands - which are surprisingly extensive within the wider Borough of Croydon. It is the product of living in such places that people feel they have some ownership stakes within. Start removing such local employment, obliging people to travel to work with others they have neither time, energy or financial means to get to know in the home, the place of worship, the parents evenings at school, the local shops and pubs - and have the children look down upon one another - then the cracks begin to appear. Sell-off the housing stock to the private sector and take no responsibility for the inevitable inadequacies of maintenance, then watch people turn inwardly, and the commnunity fails. Have the schools compete with one another, downgrade the hospitals obliging yet more local people to go where they don't know and aren't known - and you know the rest... The Croydon I visited in the 1990s has lost so many of those places and facilities that once bred community so well. Unfortunately, it needs demolishing, and starting again.
Such amazing cultural enrichment, the people of Croydon are so lucky to experience the diversity of the world in their own home town.
The diversity coming from Greeks and Poles was just too blande so they wanted more from some "other" countries instead :D
Whitechapel used to be the rough area with Jack the ripper. Things never change! People are obsessed with London, as though it is the UK. They are speaking English so I would be concerned who taught the language. I understand your dialect perfectly. I struggle with the fact you call trousers 👖 underwear 🩲.
I grew up in West London in the 80s/90s and the area was safe for me. I think they had more social clubs for youths back then and that helped prevent some youth crime problems. I am now in North West London and when I lived here before 2000 the area was good, but now there are certain areas which are now really sh*t and you would know to avoid walking through certain areas once it is dark. The problems that are caused in Croydon and perhaps everywhere are by broken families, lack of social housing and lack of youth clubs, a lot of stabbings are gang crime related. I do remember reading a while ago that Croydon was one of few areas where you would have armed officers more readilly available and patrolling in vehicles.
As a Londoner from East London I’ve never really liked Croydon or felt safe there whenever I’ve passed through it, but it’s not a Londoner who’s narrating this video, it’s someone from up north who’s jumping on the bandwagon from social media that Croydon is London’s most dangerous town. I’m sure he’s also doing it for views. As for Camden, where he’s narrating journey began, that is no longer the Camden I know from the 1990s when it was proper Camden Town with real Londoners living there, and not like now, a gentrified place that costs a fortune to buy a home there and is just a touristy trap.
I lived there in the early 1960s thought it was perfectly safe then.
London is totally safe.
I have lived in Croydon all my life (46 years) I have never felt any risk to my safety, no matter what time of day or night it is, even when out on my own.
I Used to live in West Croydon, but many years ago. It wasn't that bad then. East Croydon used to be the posh end. Croydon's address used to be in the county of Surrey, but it's been dragged into London. My son was born in Mayday Hospital. Don't laugh. My local hospital is now called the Conquest!
@@vivienwilliams1538 I think that's one of the reasons why Croydon gets singled out as being rough, as a lot of people still think it's part of Surrey, even though it's officially been a part of London since 1965. Some people still think that everywhere in Surrey should be leafy, white and middle class, which to them makes Croydon stick out like a sore thumb!
All of London is like that
Croydons a real shit heap compared what it used to be like 10 years ago (blame economy + social upbringing of todays young adults)
But its no way near as bad as it seems on media. Seriously
The last time I was in Croydon, was when I was able to walk unaided, during the early 00's to '10's... Now am in a wheelchair so definitely not even able to be travelling to Catford, let alone Croydon!! My transport consists soley of pre-booked Hospital Transport to & from my hospital appointments, currently reduced from weekly to fortnightly (that's every two weeks, to you, Connor!) and that's just to my _local_ hospital...
My more distant hospital appointments (St.Thomas' ...& to Guys) are due in August '24, after my 71st birthday on 3rd. (Lucky me?!!)
It's somehow strange to my ears, that _you_ find some of what that guy says is unintelligible!! It's still English, afterall, and definietly less broad an accent compared to a lot of _non_Londoner_ accents!! Some West Country accents (Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall) or East Anglian accents (Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincolnshire) are harder to distinguish, at least, imo?!!
What could possibly have caused the decline of Croydon? That's a tough one, gonna have to put my thinking cap on. Now let's see.... 25 years of uncontrolled immigration and 25 years for Croydon to go down the plug hole.Hmmmmmm...Nope, can't quite put my finger on it.
fully agreed with your analysis at 3:00
the age of heavy social media usage and every vice connected to it has severely degraded social life on many fronts,and then we haven't tackled the elephant in the room... mass immigration,its noticeable here in the netherlands too.
I struggled to understand everything that first guy said, and I’m from the uk mate

@@101steel4 it's better tho cos it as marv in it haha
I Grew up in Croydon (70s+80s) and it wasn't too bad aside from pickpockets, the occasional con artist and a few thugs.
A lot of Gypsy type of people and mainly senior citizens.
Too many people that aren't born and raised there now by the look of things and that deteriorates the community spirit.
Everywhere is becoming a wash of different languages, foreign vendors and families.
I would say that the town full of italians would fight more than a diverse town. Because you both know what's right and what's wrong since you're from the same area. But if someone from a clearly different culture does something wrong you're more willing to let it go because they don't know any better.
I would say 80% of towns outside london are very run down.. i live in medway, and so many areas here have streets of boarded up houses, huge alcohol and drug problems and the violence is beyong a joke! I do feel the North is much worse when it comes to run down araes though as the government doesn't seem to pump as much cash into it
Can I just say my dad was an Irish immigrant who came to Britain in the early fifties. There were signs on shop and pub doors saying Irish no blacks no polish no dogs. So my dad made friends with minorities and I grew up with each culture and made me who I am today.
@@sharronwalsh2419 Those were shameful times for Britain - now gladly past. I can relate to that kind of xenophobia: As as an 11 year old from London, my Welsh dad moved the family to Aberystwyth in Wales. The seven years I spent there were horrific as I was one of only two non-welsh pupils out of 1200 in my school, taller than average, and the bullying was vicious and relentless. Because of it I left at 17 without A levels which held me back workwise. It taught me to abhor racism. I'm proud that I have had two former marriages to non-British women and my current partner of four years is an Asian lady.
Looks like nobody read the signs
Exactly - colour of skin is not important, culture is.
Unfortunately social media in all its areas ends up causing more tribalism.

Another American who has zero idea.
Croydon!!? Is he having a giraffe lol😅 My daughter lives in Croydon, not the centre but travels through there regularly and let me tell you there are way more dangerous places than Croydon! Not that Croydon is somewhere I would live but I lived in South London for over 50yrs, Brixton, Battersea, Wandsworth, Clapham Junction and Clapham Sth. Those areas were far worse for all forms of crime although they were great places to live if you knew the area. London in general now is a horrible place to live and crime is everywhere thanks to the naff Mayor of London. If you interview all the drunks and junkies you will get a skewed picture of any area. Be discerning in your video choices and look at a few to get an overall picture. 🏴
Brixton, Clapham and Wandsworth have had a lot of money put into them so they're not bad now
I’m British. Could understand the words but not the sentences lol. Bless him, old guy seemed to want his community to be better.
The change is not Internet caused . It is immigrant caused
OK Nazi shite

I felt like a fish out of water then, but so do I here in Thailand, still, after 6 years. The more I learn about the place, the less I like it.
Hi Connor - I am not sure about the internet being the cause of increasing crime - it may well be a factor - but to me, I just think it the rising cost of living everywhere and people struggling to get by so turning to stealing/crime.
People keep saying it’s the immigrants - no it’s the poor and the hard up - and if you’re an immigrant you’re more likely to be poor and hard up.
People are all the same no matter what colour you are and the sooner people realise that the sooner the problem can be fixed instead of everyone saying “it’s THEIR fault”
It is the immigrants. It's not poor white people stabbing and shooting each other.
I used to visit Croydon before mass immigration, and it wasn't like it is now.
London as a whole is pretty awful
Before social media the guy in the yellow shirt wouldn't be wearing a Palestinian badge.....but hey diversity is our strength and with our new Prime minister we are going to get more diverse...
Before ww2 a man wore a Star of David in solidarity with the Jews . A man said you shouldn’t wear that that’s woke. You’re definitely that person
If you feel so strongly about diversity, perhaps Mongolia is where you ought reside next, they're pretty much ethnically homogeneous and monoculture, you'll be happy right there! Pack yer bags lassy!
@@jackdaniels4346 so Palestine is a religion now or are you just a plain old anti semite?
The most diverse country’s tend to have the most socialite and communal unrest!
With the least amount of social cohesion.
Country’s like France, The UK, India and America have very serious social issues and large amounts of social division.
On the other hand countries like Japan and Poland are some of the least diverse nations.
But have excellent social cohesion and not much social unrest.
However countries that are diverse, usually through invasion. Tend to be the most successful. Due the the new knowledge and exchange of ideas. The country usual progress and advances quickly then more isolated nations.
Agree with the most part but last bit no, were being brought back to the stone age with all this 'diversity is our "strength" bollocks
@@pem...Croydon is a prime example of diversity is our strength.
😂😂😂

The fact that Singapore has managed to do well with ethnic and cultural diversity, alone indicates that you're clutching at straws to justify your closeted white nationalist intent.
Quit your belly aching and actually deal with the REAL reason things are going downhill in your country.
I just hate the traffic that's the only reason I don't go Croydon
Go on the tram
All of the immigrant area's of London are dangerous
Not just London, the whole of the UK.
Or Europe for that matter.
You’ve never been to London have you
Like Hampstead?
But not all of people in Croydon are bad it’s alway had a bad reputation one time I remember the bomb scare I only live 30 mins drive from Croydon and go often I find it ok good place to go out
