London is so much more than centrak london , a lot of old videos from the 80,70s and so on also show mainly central London, where mostly tourist would be and not your local every day londoners.
London has changed drastically since the 1990s. Most of the working class, down to earth people have left and have been replaced by these wannabe posh people. Not hating on anybody, im just saying it how it is.

The English cannot produce anything for themselves, they're funny little people; no tradesmen, thinkers, philosophers, artists, culture, entertainment, music etc. Everything the English have is imported or stolen: that is the English way.
Many claim that during this era, London and the rest of the UK experienced fewer instances of 'invasion.' It's important to remind them that a significant number of individuals, now in their late 30s, early 40s (such as myself, im now 43..) , and beyond, trace their lineage to industrious Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and other BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) communities. My father dedicated his entire career to the UK Government as a diligent Civil Servant, and my mother followed suit. When casual remarks are made, it's essential to offer an appropriate response. So, here it is: Looking back to 1992, instances of ethnic hate crimes surpassed the present scenario. I apologize if this unsettles anyone, but I take pride in our nation's commitment to anti-racism since that time. While 1992 was indeed a remarkable year to be in the UK, particularly in England, nostalgically complaining that the past was superior reflects a certain level of ignorance. As of this posting, this channel boasts an impressive 2.21 million subscribers. Let it be known that those lamenting today's multiculturalism in England harbor an unsettling and outdated perspective that clashes with our contemporary world. Their opinions on societal norms, national governance, and global management are obsolete and ineffective in the modern era. It's quite disheartening to consider that these elderly individuals, with their antiquated viewpoints, hold equal standing alongside the generations born since then. The youths of today, whether black, white, Asian, or any ethnicity, contribute to making our land greater than it ever was. This transformation should be celebrated. We've progressed beyond the obsolete and tainted racial biases held by a small minority of past generations. We've moved forward, and it's time for those holding such views to catch up with the times. God Bless our sacred and most beautiful land, OUR England. And, more importantly, GOD SAVE THE 👑 KING A Proud BRINDIAN 🙂✌ SUB'D

I'm not against people coming to make there lives here but the crimes in this country has shot up like a rocket without any doubt at all in the last 20 or years so like never before. what the hecks happening to us. there are so many MORE shady people around today than what was ever seen in only 20 -30 years past.
