Quite an eye opener for me, 1st time I've watched one of your videos. £15 an hour in London when you have your costs such as paying for your bike and its associated costs to come off too, it seems like it would class as surviving rather than thriving if it was a person main job. Give you a greater appreciation of how hard it is for these drivers to make a living & that's not even factoring in the danger element of potential being robbed, injured in an accident or the worst that poor guy's death. for £15 an hour - seriously under appreciated!
I get a lot of deliveries from Deliveroo and I try to make life as easy as I can for the driver. As customers we get constant text updates saying “the drivers nearby” so I even stand at the door waiting so it makes their lives easier. Such an underrated job.
The guy at Noko needs to wise up. All the drivers are waiting for food that customers have ordered....! There is a way of asking people where to stand and if done well you will get more respect.
Living 6 years in london...i can say that..this is by far the worst city i ever been.....the lack of manners...no respect...road rage....the expensive cost of living.....the rotine of home work.....the lack of social environment...the lack of safety.....i can say that to this day every single year, i fell always in a deep depression......this place consumes you.....London is.....a nightmare.
as an English person I would never live in London, the one thing I recommend to people who want to live in England is to live anywhere but in London lol
Even the small but actually big British values are missing from London, knowing how to queue for the bus, using headphones with your phone, driving etiquette, it all trickles down from there.
I remember back in 2008-ish when I was studying in London. Often when I'm in the bus I saw this group of adolescence playing their music, from their cellphone mind you, out loud. And they would give a shitty thuggy attitude towards anyone looking at them. It was at that moment I found out that as an adult, you can't get rough to minors. Boy, if it happens in my country, everyone in the vicinity would gladly disciplined them. I remember thinking to myself, what would happen to the country should their younger generation have this kind of attitude. Well, I guess it isn't far off from what I had in mind at that time.
I left London as a citizen to move back to Cape Town and I do not miss the madness, the weather, the cold, the anger & moods of citizens. I commend you for riding around while having a main job and the channel! Big ups!!!
I evacuated from London many years ago, crossed the boarder (Over the M25) and never looked back. Took a lower paid job, so earn half of what i used to, but do no have to work in London. My life has improved so much for the better.
Good video bro. RIP to the delivery driver it’s devastating especially knowing he was just grafting the same as us. 🙏🕊 Stay safe on the roads as Lambeth is bound to be a warzone in the coming weeks.
@@LondonEats Literally, apparently it was his last delivery before going home and we all know what it’s like just wanting to do that last order for the extra money…😔
@lubvb09 because Perm (the other person killed) was a very well respected member of the gang CT (Clapham Town) honestly might have even been considered boss level so there will definitely be retaliation attacks because of his death. Also a Pioneer of UK Drill but that's not really relevant.
I'm from Lancashire(originally from the Midlands) and did a lot of work in London a few years ago and have to say it's one of the worst places I've ever been. Everyone is miserable, no manners, like they are paranoid you're out to get them. Everything is expensive driving around is a nightmare and all you hear all night is sirens, yet Londoners think they are gods gift to the world, like they are the be all and end all. The North might be poorer, but we actualy have compassion, are welcoming, personable and heart. I'd take the North over the South any day of the week. Life is alot more relaxed, local, cheaper and your are often only a few minutes away from wide open countryside, hills, valleys etc. Southerners are worried about getting to work on time so they can pay for their tiny over priced home, stressed by their jobs in a work cycle that makes them unhappy, while up north all you have to worry about is if youre going to have to beat your missus, kids and whippet cus 'er in't doors didn't have your tea ready when you got home from the pub.
First time I’ve come across this channel. Was surprisingly enjoyable to watch. Brings up them old feels of loving back in the Don. Will definitely watch again. Good on ya bro. Stay stay safe out there bruv
know exactly what you mean about doing some deliveries to unwind. Loved doing Deliveroo at uni, defo helped with the stress. I currently live abroad but I do miss Deliveroo. Miss getting out on my road bike and just doing the service of delivering food, something very satisfying about it that makes you feel good and I cant quite put my finger on it!
I drive my HGV in London every day, it takes a special kind of driving, patience and person that’s for sure, I do respect these guys and girls on these mopeds, you have to be very brave to do that.
As a motorbike rider in London I see you guys all the time and HGV drivers are some of the most conscientious drivers on the road. You got to have skill and perception to move something that size and weight on these roads.
i drove mobile cranes and flatbeds in for the last 3 years, all central london.. gave up beginning of this year went on tankers outside of london, never looked back. the place is a s**thole and most of the people in it frankly are tw!ts, don't envy you guys still doing it at all.
@martha sheilds Its not just bad drivers, its the roads in London (condition, age and size) and the sheer number of vehicles. All blended together to create madness. Throw in some temporary traffic lights and you have the perfect nightmare.
I worry every time I go out on 2 wheels, just with the general state of bad driving on the roads these days, let alone the exceptional circumstance of getting caught up in a gangland feud. But it's not like I feel totally safe in the car either, just got to get on with it and watch out for the nutters.
I feel sorry for delivery drivers working in outside conditions but I appreciate your hard work , I would love to tip you if you were outside of London. Am supporting your channel by the way. Love vlogs
When i heard about that biker being killed the First person I thourt of was you pleased to know your ok peace and love to the family who lost there child may he rest in peace be safe out there
I could tell right away you started off in Camberwell, I lived just down the road next to elephant but Ive recently moved out, I don't miss London at all but it was nice to see it again.
@@DJParamore well....your gonna meet him when your times up either way.....where you spend eternity is entirely up to you, what i believe jef Biggs was refering to is our relationship with God/Jesus etc our relationship status with him etc because life is so short, tomorrow is never guaranteed!
I never had much time for Deliveroo riders until I subbed to this channel a while back. It is certainly something that MP's would get some insight from.
The cost of living crisis eventually filters through and affects everyone. If someone "tightens their belt" by stopping going to the pub or getting takeaways, the pub and takeaway make less money. if enough people do that, pub and takeaway go bust. Their staff get laid off and have to tighten their own belts, suppliers aren't paid, the cycle ripples on.

lucky escape bro, i was worried thinking it'd be you, stay safe and well dude. i worry for you guys on the road to be caught up in a incident, watch out for the nutters. glad your feeling better
Fast food Deliveries are underrated; they get between £3.20-£5.80 per delivery and often 3-5 an hour on a good day. But when things go wrong it can always be blamed on the delivery guy. They should be paid hourly really; plus tips.
As a delivery rider, I'll take pay per delivery over hourly any day. Plenty of jobs are available that pay by the hour but I PURPOSLEY work for Uber/DoorDash instead. Good drivers can get $45/hr by completing 3 deliveries an hour.
Nice man thats we we use to do with the Addison Lee boxes back in the day on the GT500s, we would put a little pad on, some guy had sheep fur on it was so comfy. Great video. RIP to the brother at the beginning.
It was rapper Perm who was chased down, he was DEEP into it and it was inevitable. Live by the gun.. you know the rest. RIP to the innocent boy, it was his last drop before returning to Brazil. Crazy. On a brighter side, happy for another video drop, it makes my day!!
13:19 So around the back is just another door into the same space, thanks to the open kitchen concept... Gotta love that. Since it's not busy they could've just given you the food, and said something like: Next time please come round the back, it's there.
Keep your reactions sharp fella. I been riding over 35 years, off and on. I play an old PS1 space invaders game and other games to prevent tunnel vision and my reactions as sharp as can be. For when the inevitable cager (four wheeled drive owner) messes up on the road. Like the back rest. Can stop slouching too. Ride safe. Keep it between the kerbs and hedges.
Your energy is lit as always, man. Would love to get you a beer sometime, love how you deal with aggression. Can tell a lot about a man in that situation. Respect, bro
Even though I live at home at the moment, no kids or mortgage and do quite well with earnings over 3 apps I do about £478 a week give or take... I'm getting worried and concerned with how like Just Eats have lowered their fees on orders and the fuel prices going back up. One of the fuel stations in York a couple of days ago I filled up was one of the cheapest in the area at £1.63 its now gone up to £1,70 😡 Electric charging is going up, and at the moment its like 1p difference between electric and petrol. As more people turn to electric, the Government will find ways to tax more electric drivers, to compensate their losses. If the fuel prices continue to go up and the apps reduce their fees to drivers. Sadly unless they're increase the delivery fees for drivers to help with the fuel costs. It's going to end up with many drivers dropping the gig and not enough drivers to deliver food.
You Sir, understand the reality of the situation, not to mention I would hazardly guess that EV bikes cost more than petrol, and nor you nor I have any idea how to fix them. Specially when the battery catches on fire...
Very sad that lad was on his last delivery while caught up in that tragedy. I never keep drinks with hot food but all KFCs in my town pack the drinks with the food which is very silly.
I was a motorbike courier in London from the early 1970s to the 2000s. I drove over 2,000,000 miles. Scotland and back in a day? No problem. I used an A to Z to help me get around! I would not do it now. I hate driving now.
New on the channel bud, your videos woke up in my mind lovely memories from Dublin :) Miss the irish capital... Will go later to visit my friends in Cambridge :) Greetings from Transylvania - Romania
As an ex Londoner now living in Yorkshire... I would never move or live in London even if someone offered to pay me rent to live there. If I said what I truly felt about London, id probably get banned from youtube. I was thinking about you when I heard on the news about this, and its terrible to think any moment you could lose your life.😢 RIP to the driver and condolences to his family and friends
@lubvb09 I was born and raised in and around London for the first 21 years of my life. Whilst you're correct about certain things things being central e.g well paid jobs. However things are slowly changing. You have to take into account the costs of living renting, transport outweighs the benefits. I have a few friends who have had to relocate work outside of London as well, because the costs of living; e.g rents are ridiculous and they can't afford it. Many people in London are barely managing. Many Londoners have a saying, you don't need or have a car in London, you use transport. Which isn't cheap either, neither if you have to drive into am area of the Congestion charge, and also parking.. Thankfully with many businesses, people working from home still the norm for many and you don't necessarily need to work in London as much as you use to with the online world.
@lubvb09 "everything the world offers is in London" yeah mindless consuming, alcoholism, drugs, gangs, violence and misery and strangers who wouldn't piss in you if we're on fire, it's a truly bad place and the decent folk won't survive.
The main problem, experienced when ordering now. Through Just Eat for example, is when you order from a convenience store. Just Eat and maybe others charge their percentage plus the delivery and bag fees (if any?). If the store does not have or is unable to send all the items ordered, they do issue a refund automatically now (which is great) but the website takes their percentage of the whole amount ordered. Even, if part of the order was out of stock, for example. The larger the order, the higher the amount taken and only the cost of the item (s) is refunded. A shame the order websites cannot charge customers their percentage AFTER all the items ordered are scanned and or listed as out of stock. For grocery orders mainly.
I always hear delivery drivers in London have approx. a 5 year work life. Given the pay (which is hard earned), one serious accident takes all your wages and then some. Tough job.
oh man this is sad... This is the reason why I always said, I'd leave London as soon as I have kids. Since I have a kid now, I had to leave... Still miss the big smoke though
I like the escooter too! Btw, if you're riding one of those remember to wear a full face helmet or an nta helmet like xnito or bern, most cpsc helmets don't really protect you
Christmas this year is the same for me man,can't really afford to buy any presents just a nice roast dinner with the family but that's all that matters for me anyway 🎄 👍
Completely agree with the Chinese restaurant guy about the delivery guys all crowding his doorway. They need to implement a different pickup point though in that case
The British aren't angels, but when more than half the population of the capital is from overseas, you'll have little cohesion without a strong degree of authoritarianism, which is also not something we want. I am from overseas.
I reckon Ubereats is going south fast unless they adapt - even when they run % off promotions you barely make any savings as a customer after they tack on the service charges etc and not all places waive delivery fees to the customer for the monthly subscription. Deliveroo is more economical and has most of the same places, so unless you're particularly fond of getting iceland orders delivered same day which seem to be one of the few exclusives to UE, it's gonna be the D all the way :P
Great content bud. £47.53 for 3.5 hrs work, not bad. Amazon Flex is slightly better if you are outside London as you need a car or similar, don't think I will do it in London though due to traffic and all charges. Ride safe bud.👍
Two questions about deliveroo, no rude intentions. 1. Why are most deliveroo riders in London Brazilian? 2. Why do some riders do deliveroo with just a standard top box, surely that's not insulated?
Brazilians are everywhere in delivering job....I wasnt expecting they are doin same in London too....That poor guy who died also seems Brazilian buy his name....RIP....
Driving Culture looks and feel very similar to Lisbon PORTUGAL, BTW Orders are drying up here, lot of struggle with Uber and Bolt and above that Robberies are becoming very common, just for bloody food.
I have a bench outside the front door, delivering drivers can place the food there. I sometimes put my shoes on and meet just outside, imma get my food faster and drivers can continue on sooner. One driver didn’t even need to park the car, just handed me my order through their window.
People seem so unfriendly in the UK. Everyone seems miserable, they move about so fast, lacking spacial awareness and consumed within their own world. Is it the lack of sun?
I could same for NYC as people over there are rude and unfriendly. It ain't got nothing to do with the sun....It's tough city to live in especially now with the extremely high cost of living.
@@markiec8914 we control how we feel and no matter what we can choose to look at things in a happier, more optimistic way. taking that brief moment to acknowledge that others exist in this world alongside the self, it makes our life happier, it should make the other happier. To merely exist semi consciously in the meaningless grind to acquire paper which is then taken from you, well that isn't living and you may as well not be alive. You can exist in the grind but you can also live too. Peace
@@psyber_spaced1192 these people don't know each other and with the sorry state of this world today to expect people in current year London of all places to be friendly and open with one another says you definitely don't live here otherwise you would know how broken and divided we have become
London is a mess and is getting worse and worse, not because of the lack of police (trust me), but because of the law, theres always a loop hole in every crime and police stopped bothering with minor stuff and community stuff.. and I agree, let the people sort themselves out instead of wasting police resources on something that is within the mentality of the community.
Always angers me how people can pay over the odds to get a crappy Mc D's delivered but cant throw the rider a few quid. Tip your riders people dont be cheap.
They need to go back to a scheduled shift, and as they used to do, have ways of getting better hours by being a more useful/better rider. Unlike JustEats where it's just random selection. That way no matter what Deliveroo is experiencing, it'll always be busy for the rider.
The perils of having a city developing too fast that it takes away the essence of humanity away from our souls. London, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul etc. are becoming increasingly hostile to live these days.
RIP to the young lad mentioned at the start. Poor guy. Feel proper sorry and gutted for people like that & their friends, family etc ❤

as a driver i love you!
I often stand out on the street when the delivery is due, I feel the driver's pain when they can't find my flat that's tucked away from view.
I get so many ignorant drivers man, even though i make it as easy for them as possible
I do the exact same. I also have some cash ready to give them
I do the same but because half the time they dont read instructions and ring the fkn bell!
You had a very lucky escape. Tragic though for the poor fellow who was caught up in it all. 😔

Will go later to visit my friends in Cambridge :)
Greetings from Transylvania - Romania
RIP to the young delivery driver . Stay safe mate .
It's the same in Australia, there are a lot of South American delivery riders, they're respectful, hardworking and unassuming.
I'm disabled and housebound i use deliveroo alot but I alwasy make sure to tip, even if its just £1, every little helps.
As an ex Londoner now living in Yorkshire... I would never move or live in London even if someone offered to pay me rent to live there. If I said what I truly felt about London, id probably get banned from youtube.
I was thinking about you when I heard on the news about this, and its terrible to think any moment you could lose your life.😢 RIP to the driver and condolences to his family and friends
Is it native English people causing all the crime?
@lubvb09 I was born and raised in and around London for the first 21 years of my life. Whilst you're correct about certain things things being central e.g well paid jobs. However things are slowly changing.
You have to take into account the costs of living renting, transport outweighs the benefits. I have a few friends who have had to relocate work outside of London as well, because the costs of living; e.g rents are ridiculous and they can't afford it.
Many people in London are barely managing.
Many Londoners have a saying, you don't need or have a car in London, you use transport. Which isn't cheap either, neither if you have to drive into am area of the Congestion charge, and also parking..
Thankfully with many businesses, people working from home still the norm for many and you don't necessarily need to work in London as much as you use to with the online world.
@@robbiepmusic yes, in droves, with a few naughty Frenchmen doing the odd crime :)
@@robbiepmusic Those people left a long time ago. The East end is now unrecognizable.
@lubvb09 "everything the world offers is in London" yeah mindless consuming, alcoholism, drugs, gangs, violence and misery and strangers who wouldn't piss in you if we're on fire, it's a truly bad place and the decent folk won't survive.
Left london 25 years ago.
Still visit once in a while but would never move back.
The main problem, experienced when ordering now. Through Just Eat for example, is when you order from a convenience store. Just Eat and maybe others charge their percentage plus the delivery and bag fees (if any?). If the store does not have or is unable to send all the items ordered, they do issue a refund automatically now (which is great) but the website takes their percentage of the whole amount ordered. Even, if part of the order was out of stock, for example. The larger the order, the higher the amount taken and only the cost of the item (s) is refunded. A shame the order websites cannot charge customers their percentage AFTER all the items ordered are scanned and or listed as out of stock. For grocery orders mainly.
Interesting vid. Stumbled on your channel by accident. Stay safe
I always hear delivery drivers in London have approx. a 5 year work life.
Given the pay (which is hard earned), one serious accident takes all your wages and then some.
Tough job.
oh man this is sad... This is the reason why I always said, I'd leave London as soon as I have kids. Since I have a kid now, I had to leave... Still miss the big smoke though
Hi another fantastic video well done and keep up the great work and really like the electric scooter 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Can you explain why you like the EV bike over a petrol engine, I have my opinion on the matter and would like to hear others.
I like the escooter too! Btw, if you're riding one of those remember to wear a full face helmet or an nta helmet like xnito or bern, most cpsc helmets don't really protect you
@@tayoz gas costs, emissions (govt schemes to convert). Its better for everybody.
Christmas this year is the same for me man,can't really afford to buy any presents just a nice roast dinner with the family but that's all that matters for me anyway 🎄 👍
I’ve been avoiding your videos. They make me wanna go do deliveries. But I’ve been ill for over a week. Missing it.
Stay safe, man.
John Cleese had some thoughts on our capital city some years ago. He was right then and time has only confirmed his summary.
How many miles are you getting for a full charge? Another top video mate
Awesome video, keeping London's Hungry at bay.
Why we editing the news footage? Legitimate question my brother, loving all you do for all of us
Completely agree with the Chinese restaurant guy about the delivery guys all crowding his doorway. They need to implement a different pickup point though in that case
The British aren't angels, but when more than half the population of the capital is from overseas, you'll have little cohesion without a strong degree of authoritarianism, which is also not something we want. I am from overseas.
How do you manage to do this around a full time job? When do you sleep pal? Keep up the great content.
RIP. This is very sad. It is a shame London is such a shit hole now tbh. RIP.
I reckon Ubereats is going south fast unless they adapt - even when they run % off promotions you barely make any savings as a customer after they tack on the service charges etc and not all places waive delivery fees to the customer for the monthly subscription. Deliveroo is more economical and has most of the same places, so unless you're particularly fond of getting iceland orders delivered same day which seem to be one of the few exclusives to UE, it's gonna be the D all the way :P
Really enjoyed your video! Subscribed
That's it ( food,house,clothes,family,health, aaaaand work. That's all we really need.
I am 100% following you mate this reminds me of my time living in london
Great content bud. £47.53 for 3.5 hrs work, not bad. Amazon Flex is slightly better if you are outside London as you need a car or similar, don't think I will do it in London though due to traffic and all charges. Ride safe bud.👍
Brazilian driver from Liverpool here ✌️
haha did not expect to see someone wearing a Philadelphia eagles shirt. Love it
so sad it happened and you said that brazilian drivers were so friendly just hours before
How weird right! As I was finishing my shift this whole incident was happening I never knew until the next morning!
I’ve noticed the prices going up around me, not surprised the number of orders is dropping.
i agree ...Brazilian and the Italians more easy to talk to .....there more laid back down to earth
Two questions about deliveroo, no rude intentions.
1. Why are most deliveroo riders in London Brazilian?
2. Why do some riders do deliveroo with just a standard top box, surely that's not insulated?
Brazilians are everywhere in delivering job....I wasnt expecting they are doin same in London too....That poor guy who died also seems Brazilian buy his name....RIP....
Strangely entertaining. Good job😊
Driving Culture looks and feel very similar to Lisbon PORTUGAL, BTW Orders are drying up here, lot of struggle with Uber and Bolt and above that Robberies are becoming very common, just for bloody food.
I have a bench outside the front door, delivering drivers can place the food there. I sometimes put my shoes on and meet just outside, imma get my food faster and drivers can continue on sooner. One driver didn’t even need to park the car, just handed me my order through their window.
I used to live in Forest Hill where you picked up the 12 pound order
May I ask what bike you got and how much and have you done a review on it.
People seem so unfriendly in the UK. Everyone seems miserable, they move about so fast, lacking spacial awareness and consumed within their own world. Is it the lack of sun?
I could same for NYC as people over there are rude and unfriendly. It ain't got nothing to do with the sun....It's tough city to live in especially now with the extremely high cost of living.
@@markiec8914 we control how we feel and no matter what we can choose to look at things in a happier, more optimistic way. taking that brief moment to acknowledge that others exist in this world alongside the self, it makes our life happier, it should make the other happier. To merely exist semi consciously in the meaningless grind to acquire paper which is then taken from you, well that isn't living and you may as well not be alive.
You can exist in the grind but you can also live too.
Peace
@@psyber_spaced1192 maybe that's why the suicide rate is so high
@@psyber_spaced1192 these people don't know each other and with the sorry state of this world today to expect people in current year London of all places to be friendly and open with one another says you definitely don't live here otherwise you would know how broken and divided we have become
Don't confuse London with the rest of the uk.
RIP. That could’ve been any of us..
London is a mess and is getting worse and worse, not because of the lack of police (trust me), but because of the law, theres always a loop hole in every crime and police stopped bothering with minor stuff and community stuff.. and I agree, let the people sort themselves out instead of wasting police resources on something that is within the mentality of the community.
Cheers men i'm brasilians driver from brasil thanck you very much.
Happy you have a job but the rise of fast food delivery shows what a lazy unmotivated country we have
Always angers me how people can pay over the odds to get a crappy Mc D's delivered but cant throw the rider a few quid. Tip your riders people dont be cheap.
I watched first half of this video in London, and the remaining half I resumed in south Asia
Sad thing is, it's not just london...
They need to go back to a scheduled shift, and as they used to do, have ways of getting better hours by being a more useful/better rider. Unlike JustEats where it's just random selection. That way no matter what Deliveroo is experiencing, it'll always be busy for the rider.
U deserve a nice Xmas bro man ... pls be careful on road aswell... flippin looney tunes out thr looool🎩®️©️🏴⚘😍
The perils of having a city developing too fast that it takes away the essence of humanity away from our souls. London, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul etc. are becoming increasingly hostile to live these days.
Bad attitude from that fool in co-op no wonder why they get attacked. Manners don’t cost nothing.
I think he was having a bad day, but I'm not the one to just stand there and be spoken to like a fool lol
All UK is in a mess.
Yep a state of decay
new to the channel. great video. Which electric bike are you using ?
Thank you to Sadiq Khan for ruining a once great city.
How did he ruin London?
I always tip the Delivery Guy but apparently I'm one of the few.
