Becoming more Islamic? Like the youth-dem are more Islamic then their OGs??? Maybe. But Muslims have been rooted in London way before most others. It goes back to the 60s. We are talking 60 years. I don't see no waves of Muslims coming. Most that do, end up going back. Cost of living and all that.

@@hurataimad-s3q There's definitely been a huge increase. Come to Slough, Hounslow, Southall, Wembley, Greenwood, East Ham...etc; you will see the large communities of Muslims that have gotten larger and larger over the last few years totally changing the demographic of the area..

@@techknow9237 LOL, them areas always had Muslims. What's your point??? Yeah whites Londoners left about the Blair times when there was money flowing and youth-dem wanted to get on the property ladder but a lot have come from here from rural areas and then settled. S Asians, i.e Muslims have been here for time. Why cry about it now?? I ain't seen no sudden influx of anything but eastern Europeans. Sure there has been communities come and go, like Algerians. Somalians came here like 30/40 years ago when their war was going on, they have numbers still. I remember Bosnia bringing in some but they are gone also. Syria was a thing but nothing like the Polish.

Islam is a good religion in my view, I am a Buddhist living among Malaysian Muslims, as well as southern Thai Muslims living peacefully with followers of other religions. The correct Islam is practiced in Malaysia, Brunei, southern Thailand, the behavior of the people is not like the violent Arabs.

@@Hobo-Willy white flight?

@@zestyut1344 too many people, way too many people. Plus only high street and near the river is nice. Other parts are not so pretty and actually felt not safe (deptford, for example)

I agree there are too many people at weekends. But there’s a different indoor market every day !! Really interesting shops. Amazing park, so much history compared to Canary Wharf. I do agree all areas surrounding Greenwich are awful. But all of London is like that. Nice areas next to sink ones

@@TheAFC94 thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it. I believe there is more to talk about and I will dive more into it, taking into account other people’s experiences as, of course, we all have our own opinions and it’s all very valid

Couldn't agree more with the original comment. And to put it a bit more bluntly, concluding that canary wharf is one of the best places to live in London is quite frankly laughable

@@Mdk33337 wish I new what that means 😅

@@harrynichols8050 thank you! I actually never have heard of it so thanks for suggestion, will look it up!

Thank you for your comment ❤

@@derekg49 I heard this opinion quite often, can you specify what do you mean by soulless?

@@KristinaExpat Yes. Other (most) parts of London evolved over time and have developed with interesting contrast in architecture. Canary Wharf was planned, architected and developed as an almost single entity so there is nothing but conformity. It's all too "clean" in the design with no mixed land uses - here's where you shop, here's where you work, here's where you live, here's where you eat etc. The result is like living in a shopping mall, too modern and too tidy - soul comes from organic growth it can't be designed. It has zero charm and you could be anywhere in the world, it's a characterless urban environment. IMO it's the least nteresting place in London

@@derekg49 thank you! That was really interesting to watch. I find canary wharf to be very convenient and fairly priced as you get a lot for your money here, the transport links are amazing, nice food spots, you have everything you need in 1 place. And I love skyscrapers 😅 but I guess it’s very personal. What from your point of view is the most soulful place in London then?

I lived in UK since 2009 I moved from Poland . Not once I thought to go London . Its a horrible , expensive place very dangerous.
