This episode made me think JUST how important it is that we as Black people hold onto the cultures that we have built, especially from an Afro-Caribbean perspective. We are such displaced people; moved from Africa to the Caribbean to be enslaved, from the Caribbean to England because they needed our labour once again, now they want us to free up the homes we made here. And it's always THEM making us move. Keep a hold of the culture and the identity otherwise we'll have no culture or identity left. Thank you Henrie.
Henrie been working, working. Hope she has eaten today and is resting when needed. Absolutely enjoy these series and the way her career has been flourishing 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
i love this series so much, i'm not a londoner but i find the evolution of london so fascinating, particularly how you view this change through the lens of gentrification
Yes please do Olympic park ends. Stratford has changed. Homelessness has expanded and cardboard cities at late night in the Stratford mall. Things they want to sweep under the rug.
That woman who opened the Arcola Theatre shouldn't feel so bad, she is not responsible for people not being able to afford to live an area and she is not responsible for landlords hiking the rent prices up either. She saw an opportunity to evolve herself and she took it. Being able to do that whilst doing something you love at the same time is extremely rare. Are people looking to invest ONLY allowed to invest in areas with money and a wealthy community? No, that's what keeps the classes divided. If we constantly worry about how what we do is going to affect others we will never reach our full potential.
Not enough affordable housing is being built, and there is a severe lack of council homes available, and all thanks to Tory right to buy scheme in the 70s and now with austerity Councils can't afford council housing maintenance so they selling out to big property corps that push poor people out. This is the reason London is a city for elites. Sustainable development needs to happen but not by building more houses for the rich! This is a gov't policy problem. That theatre lady isn't responsible, but she will eventually contribute to the system that has been built by these policies.
Nicholas Johnson she won’t contribute at all to the system. None of these decisions come down to her, as you said it is a governmental issue. at the end of the day the system is going to benefit someone, whether it’s the poor or the rich and there will never be a perfect balance. She shouldn’t be ostracized for following her dreams.
Interesting video Henrie . Watched all current episodes. If possible can you do a video about how the Afro Caribbean community used to party and how it has changed through out the years within London and where they are currently going to party. Being brought up in Hackney myself and still living there. I don’t think the night life for like Afro Caribbean cultures is as accessible or available like before. So it would be interesting to see.
1990 ish we used to goto four aces in Dalston Lane, decent dance/rave club, I used to go out with a beautiful young woman from a block of flats in Lefevre walk, near there. I lived in a rural area not near London and I loved coming up hear, we would goto the local markets and I remember I loved hearing the pirate radio stations being played on the various stalls as we walked around, great great times ✌️
I lived just over the border with Islington, moving in there the autumn before Dalston Junction station closed in 1986. I moved out in 1989 but, whenever I've been back in London, I've usually gone for a look around to see what's happening in the area. Dalston Eastern Curve Garden is a great addition to it, and it's clearly had a lot more people with money moving in since the station reopened. The area is a great one to stay in for anyone visiting London, especially now there are hotels and of course there's AirBnB now. I used to buy fruit and veg from Ridley Road market and it'd be a real tragedy, especially for local people, if this had to close.
Passing Clouds, Junction House, Dance Tunnel, Alibi, The Nest, Birthdays, Visions and too many more that've closed down Heartbreaking to watch Dalston died around 2016 tbh - once those licensing laws came in to effect venues and bars couldn't be open past 12AM; a few old venues were allowed to stay open to 2.30AM but with increases to rents and cost of living it pushed a lot of locals and creatives out And I think you're right: Dalston is almost at the final stage of the gentrification process - a few more years and its character will have been completely erased
Arcola street back in my youthful days was a raving hall...had myself some fun times back then🙌🏾. Really interesting channel you have here Henrie, keep up the good work. God Bless you young lady 😇🥰🙏🏾
Ngl this episode was pretty dead. Not much going on in Dalston at all nowadays. I remember going there about 10 years ago and it was a lot more lively and had more of a cultural and edgy feel to it. Gentrification really has taken the character out of the area.
This was, for me, the most interesting episode I’d filmed. I learned a lot about the area. But you’re right in that the area is actually dead now. It’s pretty sad

Thank you Henrie.
When you say "them", could you be more specific?
🇬🇧
You can always buy a ticket back to where you belong.
Jamaica's always free to go back to.
@@bookinsights1092 and you can always stfu.
Ridley Road Market is the gem of Dalston. It needs to stay!
It needs to be developed IMO, and sell more than just food and household stuff🤷🏾♀️
It really stands out

God blessssssssss

Genrtrication often kills the very thing that drew people into the area
But in the end greed and ignorance will kill us all.
Jafaken culture, drugs and gun crime? The U.K.'s indigenous people have suffered enough.
East Londoners, I love you, I promise hahahahhaha
Your so beautiful 😍
Yes please do Olympic park ends. Stratford has changed. Homelessness has expanded and cardboard cities at late night in the Stratford mall. Things they want to sweep under the rug.
Forest gate also. Smh.
@Marcus Grant I filmed this well before lockdown and corona hahaha it was just dead
ABOUT TIME !!!! 7 month wait ???? You don't give a toss about us 😁😁❤
What’s crazy is I love youse with all my heart. But: CORONA.
Corona is the thing that stopped her. I’m all good.

bring this series back!
This is happening in very major city, even in America. Change is inevitable.

If you take suggestions would love to see one on Finsbury Park
what this series really shows is that capitalism isn't as lit as we think
Exactly what i was thinking and more people are getting brainwashed about how good capitalism without realising how much it effects people
thats the take away for sure
Finally another episode. Love the effort.
Passing Clouds, Junction House, Dance Tunnel, Alibi, The Nest, Birthdays, Visions and too many more that've closed down
Heartbreaking to watch
Dalston died around 2016 tbh - once those licensing laws came in to effect venues and bars couldn't be open past 12AM; a few old venues were allowed to stay open to 2.30AM but with increases to rents and cost of living it pushed a lot of locals and creatives out

Amazing as usual Henrie!
I have so many memories of ridley Road market, no way that place can go man

Damn i leave for uni 3 years now and look what they've done to my area😞
"i was meant to say ghost town instead of wasteland" looooool its okay, henrie, thats a freudian slip right there, we know u feel about dalston
LOOOOOOOOL I’m crying
Used to be an amazing place, such a shame gentrification has rubbed out the ends
Such a powerful episode
this video is great, i live in dalston and ima use this for my geography coursework so thankyou
if this is the worst london gentrification is, then coming from someone in Berlin, this is nothing!
Yesss I can’t wait uno
Do more of these please
Interesting stuff. Haven't spent much time there apart from work.
You did my ends! I’ve subscribed now!!
Stop trying to pretend you're in Kingston with that forced Jafaken slang my "yute".
@@hc2155 huh me?
I really hope they dont close the market down, it would be a shame if they do
5:27 This response sounded like something out of TV show skit
Do Harlsden next please
To my knowledge there aint much gentrification happening in Harlesden so not sure if it will be at the top of her list.
big up ✔️
Oh yeah Dance Tunnel was the one for an afterparty.. RIP :(
Nothing about Dalston seems real at all it seems like a movie set
The host is BEAUTIFUL 😘😘😘
She's so bufffff man
Gentrification....
Sweet n bright young lady.🤗
You must be from south init
Ur leng

this is what the reality is. watered down mundaness from what was once vibrant
East London always looks depressing to me
And the deadest area in london
