Newham is the most diverse, young and one of the most poverty-stricken district within the United
Kingdom. Newham is higher than average crime rate for car theft, violence, sexual assaults and also
drug crime. The area of Newham is well known for its street gangs as well as its crime families and
organised crime. However, from this concrete jungle hails youtuber, traveller, podcast presentor ,
content creator and doc-series talent of Blackman da traveller. Part 1 of the Newham documentary
will provide first and honest accounts of growing up in Newham and how this has shaped

I found this guy by watching a travel vlog. Addicted as he doesn't do the usual videos of pampered Ytubers, this guy shows the real people of a country. This is what's missing in vlogs. Subbed and following, good bloke.
thanks king
Real👏🏽
Me to I just checked the Pakistan vid-blog.
Wow - I came across Blackman Da Traveller from his Pakistan series, it's really interesting to see you roots and about your history. That explains why your so unphased by anything in Pakistan. When you've lived in the hood, you realise that wherever you go, there isn't a need to be scared of normal people, you get a sixth sense of where the trouble is going to come from.
Love this
This is exactly right
I think Rochdale and Rotherham are dangerous due to the Pakistani grooming gangs.
I'm a 4th generation east ender. My grandad's house & workplace in Newham was bombed during the second world war. My dads sister was a baby when she had her nose broken against the roof of the anderson shelter in the back garden as the result of a jolt as the bombs fell. She is now a millionaire.
Like most working class, they had no bathroom, no central heating no money & they survived on rations. A far cry from all the luxuries that are taken for granted today!
Many people use hardship as their strength to do better & succeed. And they win! Regardless of ethnic background, skin colour, culture or religious beliefs. Some people are more dangerous than the places they are in. While others have & show their respect, maturity, common sense, intelligence & pride.
What difference does generations mean , I see no point in it

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and the similarities between what Newham is going through mirrors a lot of communities in New York. The people who are moving in here by the thousands are changing it through no fault of their own but a lot of NYers have had to moveout because rising cost of living and feeling out of place in their own neighborhoods. To see one long term local business go is heartbreaking but to see a whole block of local businesses get tore down to build a luxury condo building will make you want to leave and not look back sometimes. I still love my home though and wouldn't have wanted to grow up anywhere else
And just like New York, and London, look at Seattle to see what happens when they start gentrifying and refurbishing.
The rent triples and they make things like dorm style apts to take full advantage of 10 %population growth with only 1% housing growth. And no one can afford to live there except those tech jobs and in one room apts. I remember having an pretty big 2 bedroom apt in the 2000s with a huge kitchen and living room for 600 a month.
Those same apartments are 1200 to 1500 a month. And they didn't. Refurbish them. They just raised the rent with the crappy red carpets. Lol.
Anyhow....the land is worth so much in London, and they don't want to waste space on those on fixed incomes. They want those that will pay stupid expensive rent. And honestly in Seattle, they moved everyone to the outskirts of town, or down the way to another county!!
It sucks cause you used to know your neighborhood. These money people come in and don't care about the community and it only took just under 20 years to make places in Seattle a bunch of people who don't talk to each other, don't protect each other, and don't want to know each other paying exorbitant prices to live that cause it seems normal, cause Seattle lured all the California streamers and tech youth.
Didn’t you know you was from the endz, the come up is going to be real for you brudda, respect from America 🇺🇸! It’s inspiring to see another black person from the west try out this vlogging thing. I hope to pursue the same path. More life & success too you 💯.
thanks

Everywhere is dangerous if you decide to involve yourself in certain things.
Right on the mark, Newham council need to address the deprivation in the borough. I have seen, crackheads, prostitutes and drug dealers, just roaming the streets with no fear! The borough needs support. I can't remember the last time, I saw a police officer!
@@alloallo1977 You are talking absolute nonsense. Are you even from Newham? You make up your mind and refrain from commenting on my post.
newham in general is much better than it was about 4-5 years ago though to be fair, a bit safer-ish in 2022, however a lot still needs to be done. i feel like newham will be completely gentrified within the next 5 years or so
@@AymzG1 Gentrification seems to be the ONLY thing I'm seeing that's actually reducing crime rates. As unfortunate as it is, it's working. I'm in Walthamstow, which is getting gentrified slowly and have seen the slight gentrification in Forest gate, stratford, newham etc and in those areas, the crime rate reduces, with more policing. First on the list should be faster police responses, the second should be helping the homeless and drug addicts.
@@bassinblue 100% agree with your points
Go to gate, there's always feds there lol
Coming from south London I always found newham calm whenever I used to cross the river to check my cousin. It was very different from south. You could even tell an east guy from a mile away from how they dressed.
Same newhams never been a worry
How did they dress
South and East were two very different places and still to this day in certain areas. Being a South West Londoner we found East very gritty but equally they thought the same of us…
coming from east i always found south waayyy too calm never saw all the fuss
Most dangerous borough is always Lambeth. Most shootings & stabbing murders every year. Newham is rough but can’t call it the most dangerous
As someone who grew up down the road in Barking, it's mad to see how much the perception of Stratford (and Newham in general) has changed because of the Olympics, Westfield & East Village.
As nice as E20 is, living in E15 is clearly the real side of Stratty.
True being from e10 I know exactly what you mean.
It’s barking mad
That first interview was revolutionary this is deserving of a massive applause and investment
This dangerous neighborhood looks a lot better than any neighborhood here in america.
Its all exaggerated stupidness. The main issue that has caused areas like this to become run down is British black people trying to copy American rap gangsters. This started in the late 80s and early 90s. Then as rap music took off you got other ethnicities joining in but the main issue is predomnantly the black people.
ik america well enough, you dunno East London as much as i do theres shootings stabbings, splashings and crazy gang members
My dad left here in 1939..due to the war, he said he wouldn’t go back..
He spoke about sarsaparilla and frying eggs on the pavement.
He had a great personality....Maryland gave him that...
Wow didn’t realise you’re from Newham. Makes sense as you are so cultured and open minded. Love your channel my brother.
I so appreciate the rawness and realness in your interviews! You like a young Bourdain! No 🧢 😊
Thanks!
No problem!
There's over 7,000 languages spoken in this world but these 2 lads decided to speak pure facts 💥
Most of them in any Inner London street:)
Apart from when he said that Newham being the most dangerous part of London, also not highlighting the fact that the issues are also caused by black people. That’s the fact, search how many white people are killing each other in London….
@@jamiejosh96 You clearly don't know Newham at all. Maryland, Stratty, Canning Town, Forest Gate, Custom House, Plaistow, East Ham are all proper places but your clearly a racist piece of shit & clearly a simpleton. Crime is caused by economic policy & social conditions caused by planned managed decline of Government Policy. Canning Town was known as the city of thieves amongst Londoners over the entire last century. You clearly haven't got a clue & probably still live at Mummy's House out in the sticks. Proper little Berkshire Hunt ain't you. Prick.
@@Isleofskye 😂
@@eatsleeptrainrepeat7906 The truth is in my Inner South East London busy main road and area, where I lived until 1983, near Brixton,I never heard a foreign language spoken until I was around 17 years old.
Now it's more the other way round😀
I'm from chicargo moved to London and I will say London isn't rough in the slightest. They think it is but you don't know how blessed you britsh are
Where’d u move to in London
@@pizza4149doesn’t matter. Y’all don’t know what the gutter is but there’s levels everywhere like america is grimey af compared to London but even places like Chicago ain’t shit in Mexico for instance.

Yea, rock a chain and a nice watch after 10 pm in east London and you’ll soon find out. You probably stay in your crib and ain’t tapped in that’s why you think it’s minor.

Stratford has seen a rise in crime in recent years/decade. As for the most dangerous place in London, I recall Upper Clapton/Lower Clapton in Hackney during the early 2000's as the most dangerous place in London, aka "Murder Mile!"
The problem with Stratford's gentrification programme, is that its not there to benefit the locals. Newham Council has been known to pay councils as far as Greater Manchester, to relocate their existing tenant's in Newham from a 2 bed flat, to a 4 bedroom house.
Going back 4 to 5 years ago in Stratford, when they had the one-way gyratory system, I was shocked to see the amount of tents ⛺ along the streets opposite the Stratford bus station and old shopping centre. Whilst most of these people appeared to be homeless Romanians/Eastern part of Europe, it was a real culture shock for Stratford and the local homeless people who would've never thought they could blatantly erect a tent bang in the centre of Stratford like that!
Stratford isn't the only borough seeing the rich/poor divide. Dalston in the borough of Hackney, Woolwich Arsenal in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Tottenham in the borough of Haringey and Canary Wharf in the borough of Tower Hamlet's have all gone and are still going through the same experience.
The most dangerous place in London in the 2000s was Brixton or Peckham, Hackney was not even close to south.
@@ralphlauren3907 Brixton has always been dangerous until recently with its diversity and gentrification, however it still has its moments every now and then. The same applies with Peckham. Both borough's Lambeth (blacks) and Southwark (Africans) have the highest number's of black people in London than any other borough. Croydon borough also has the highest population for black Caribbeans and has it fair share of crime on the statistics map.
The fact remains, that Hackney was known as Murder Mile in the 2000's, but as of today all 33 borough's across London have elements of the ghetto, including the suburbs such as Luton, Watford and Darford to name but a few.
@@ralphlauren3907 Ive lived in Brixton all my life from the 70s and never found it dangerous at all.
@@fizi247 even tho it was called Murder mile, Coldharbour lane in Brixton had way more shootings and murders
@@ralphlauren3907 I hear you
Your cousin talks like a politician. Very smart, smooth, not emotional or blaming anyone.
Interesting stuff. I’m 68 and grew up in a homogeneously white working class town in Yorkshire. It was a mining community. Only one family on our street had a car and as kids we could play football and cricket on the street all day long. Everyone voted Labour, apart from my mother who should have given her head a wobble. All the men worked at the pit and there was a strong sense of social solidarity. And then Thatcher arrived. Nuff said.
I didn’t see a black person until I went to school in Sheffield, aged 11.
Next time I go to London I’d like to visit Newham, the young woman interviewed convinced me.
Peace and Up the Blades
That’s different though because yorkshires white, Newham is like 0.5% white
@@yesthen2704 hi, not sure what your point is ?
@Maxwell Boyne and thanks to your hero Thatcher and her free market fanatisism and thirst for vengeance against mining communities her legacy was drug addiction, criminality, food banks, poverty and destitution. You should be ashamed as a traitor to your class and apparent total ignorance of how political forces work. Go and touch your forelock in class deference
@@antonyware9887 he's just saying obviously he's just gonna see white ppl in yorkshire where as newham is more diverse
big up you brother, you really look like someone who went the through that mad life, now through your experience and things that happened to you, your a grown man and look at life in a stable way. i can really relate
Great video bro! glad to see you on your grind since Maryland primary school days, keep it up man!
Your cousin has great presence and eloquence in the way he expresses opinions and themes
I was shook to see my childhood neighbourhood! Like what? I grew up around Alma Street in the 90s. Simons Walk wow!!! Memories man 🥰 Maryland will always have a special place in my heart. The house you walked passed at 08:40 was my childhood home! Number 9❤️
Big up my bruvva,keep up the good work!
Rough areas are strange. There are people that will give you the shirt off their backs but also there are people that will kill you for a £5er
That’s Newham for you. I totally agree with this statement
Aye Blackman this video touched 400k Alhamduliah ❤
LOVE BRO
That was really interesting! I have to admit that having been born and bred in the West End in 1961 and then living in Sweden since 1987, that I had never been in that part of London. The same concerns that you have of the gentrification of Newham has been happening to many areas of London for decades. I grew up around Bayswater and Porchester where we from the area as kids had Kensington Gardens as our playground, so I got the shock of my life when after eighteen years away, seeing how things had changed! I visit very rarely, however every time I go back to London, I feel like a man that is slowly losing his past because the rate of change is extremely rapid to say the least! Keep up the great work! 👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
Black people’s resilient spirit have allowed them to Defy the difficult odds set up by the “System”!!!🔥🔥

“System” 😂
Great videos . Your a very articulate young man. I'm sure this channel will blow up very fast.
I hope so too
You were spot on 👌🏾
Wow ive noticed the rapid decline in people living situations here in Hawaii too! Looks like its not just us going through it too! Mahalo for making such good content braddah hope you come to Hawaii one day and make one! You’d learn allot of things that many people don’t know if you talk to the right locals. I think you would be very good at making a non bias video about Hawaii and tell her truth so that she can live free again!
I know there’s people going through struggles everywhere in every place around the world, but bro Hawaii is known for being one of the most beautiful places in the world, count the blessings that you do have in life. East London or Hawaii I know where’d I’d rather live
@@Sabotaz80xx I'm from uk and hawaii is known to have some super bad areas
All the bad areas anywhere are majority black go look for yourselves
Holla to my brothers in the hawian,UK with the African connect bless
Found myself visiting Hawaii in 2014. Surrounded by beauty I felt a sense of sadness for the locals whose beautiful land had gone through so many changes. It would be great to hear stories from Hawaiians and how they dealt with going through all the developments
Been in London for over 5 years now and never had any troubles, worked at night,daytime,commuted,walked from work to home with not a single issue, and trust me I’ve heard all the negative stuff before I came to live here, most of the time the problems come to who search for it, just do your basic stuff work and get along with good people and you’ll be sound here
True that same for me but anything can happen I had friends that were just at a place at a bad moment..
And that’s just one example from that particular day. I had a lot of other days in London where people tried to start shit
London is lovely.. nothing bad or rough or ghetto about it.. I'm from chiraq.. British are lucky very lucky London has around 120 to 150 stabbings a year? We have thousands of murders and shootings sometimes 40 shootings on a Friday.. they are lucky
@@PyrodaveyThere’s around 8,000+ stabbings a year in london but yeah only around 130 die a year
@@Pyrodavey12,886 knife crimes were reported in London in 12mths from 2022 to March this year. Those including sexual assault saw a dramatic rise which is concerning but I agree there are places in the world that are much worse and what we don't want is for our country to become the same.
If you are good person, London will be good for you. People are your reflection
Just discovered your Channel and really like what you are doing. Appreciate a curious mind and a unique voice. I studied at what was then the Stratford College of Technology in the late 60's and then taught in Newham for three years in the early 70's, loving my time in Newham. I still visit quite often and wish you all well
Respect Me Derek 👍
Respect Me Derek 👍
THERE ARE MANY PLACES IN LONDON WHICH ARE VERY DANGEROUS, NOT ONLY NEWHAM.
Westfield in Stratford was previously the largest shopping mall in Europe,now its the one in Shepherds Bush,ever since an extension was built.
Places change when people change. People change when the Government invests in people. Great video. All the best for the future.
This was so good, once again great content keep the videos coming 💯
I am a north londoner,good luck with your channel
Thanks
I have lived in Newham majority of my life. I know crime used to go on, certain parts like Canning Town were no go zones. But I never heard nothing about Maryland growing up.
Most dangerous places to me were Hackney, Peckham, Brixton and Harlesden.
I grew up near Maryland and I’m watching this thinking the same 🤣🤣 Peckham, Brixton, Hackney wayyyyy more rough
But it’s one of those male ego things where u find pride in saying the area u grew up in was the roughest lol 🤦🏻♂️😩
harlesden had its moments but it was not so bad
I've never seen a 'hood' with so many soccer moms going to work.😅
@lengmuzik6333 I'm born and bred in West London and grew up there not far from NW areas like Harlesden and Stonebridge and I can tell you those areas were no go zones back in the day if on your own or not from there... Stonebridge in particular!
Blackman! Kaaya!!!! Glad to see you man are doing well!
Good content . I live in Newham since !965 , yes Newham have change .
I could tell you some story about Newham .
Respect you just earn a new Sub .
This video brings back so much childhood memories lol I'm not even from london am from brum but my nephews and nieces lived on alma street parents used to take us their every summer holidays from 05 06 07 we used to play football at the cage next to the convenience store big up your content tho bro giving a different perspective of the working class background and what's really going on very entertaining to watch 💯✅
Thanks for the positive feed back
@2:54 "How would you describe Newham as a hole?"
Errrr -- I think you just have mate 🤣
Nothing against Newham, but this is an underrated comment. Lol
This man make me proper proud. A natural educator, an elder before his time. A solid visible figure for youngers to look up to who is making his own path in life.
Words are words, and actions speak louder accordingly. Homelessness frostbite never produces afterlives, even if the blood diamond encrusted sociopathic manipulative stockholm syndrome marketing monarchs dont seem to want you to publicly talk about the vital difference between fact and fiction. Notice how you say nothing about that vital difference, as if to the point of traditionalizing sociopathic problematic political arenas to resemble elements of the roman era?
Following the money?
"Natural educator" loool, okay let's not go too far
Gonna put this on my page and credit and link you in
I saw your vlog in Pakistan and now this video. Didn't know your from the ends. Respect for making a change in you life
Brilliant video, thank you for this amazing content. I am a 30-something woman and having had no luck trying to buy a house anywhere else in London (that isn't Thamesmead God forbid - I grew up there - never again), I am moving to Newham. My main concern is the poverty. I notice it is littered, too, the council seems lax about that. But I like the diversity and some decent areas. I think I will like the people! Wish me luck and pray I don't get robbed plz
I am from south and this is very insightful. V good video, but no way Newham is the most dangerous place in London luckily for them

@@osayandeshakur7244 Real life family. it's been that way for decades lol.
Not the worst area in London, I’ve seen worst. The young man spoke extremely clearly and articulately.
There was once a large Jewish immigrant community living in the what was once considered the slum area of east London known as Brick Lane. Did the youths born in that deprivation hang around in gangs representing the local post code by committing crimes & getting involved in drugs?... No, of course they didn't. They had something invaluable called respect!!!
They had respect for their parents, respect for their family, respect for their elders, respect for their community, respect for authority, respect for the country they were in & for that they had respect for themselves!!!! They gave that respect to themselves. They didn't need to wait for anyone to give it to them because they could take pride in their own behavior & the efforts they made to work hard towards a better future.
And they did create a better future! They created what was the tailoring capitol of London in their time & went on to create some of the most prestigious tailoring establishments that exist on Savile Row even now.
For generations they can now reap the rewards of carrying on the family names of all those that did everything they HONESTLY could do to take themselves & their families out of the squalid, poverty stricken streets of small , dark, dirty & cold dwellings to the big, bright, clean warm house's they call home in up market areas of Golders Green etc.
Crime is no fault of being young or poor! People young & old need to be properly re-educated on how to live & do it honestly & correctly. Bring back community spirit & look after your neighbourhood. Protect your communities from negative outside influence & bad behaviour. Teach how to live with dignity & put some pride & self respect back into the minds & places where it has failed & where everyone can value each other & the potential to rebuild a better future for everyone!
Steve Rawlings I totally agree with what you have written, I lived in Forest gate back in the seventies up to two thousand and eight I raised two children who had a fantastic life with all the different activities that they took part in . parent's need to invest in their children's lives teach them to respect others and themselves, care about the community they live in , get into Education and try to better their lives instead of walking around getting into the so call gang's,have pride in what they do young people of Newham strife for excellence there are many schools in Newham who's pupils are coming out with great grade's and going on to some of the best universities in the country .keep on working hard with your studies, parent's get involve with your children.
Hit the nail on the head. It takes a village to raise a child. The older generation is needed to pass on knowledge which is all part of evolution especially older black men to teach and mentor young black men.
Sick bro! Keep up the good work! 🙌🏿
I used to go Forest Gate school my boys r from them sides I remember you aswell frm school, I thought u looked familiar n now it makes sense, keep it up bro hopefully see u one day so we can catch up

The homeless problem all over London is almost becoming an epidemic..and the Olympics was the biggest factor in the development of infrastructure in the Stratford area for better or worse which has now translated into gentrification..that being said London and Real Estate across London is just too expensive..
So sad to hear London is having that problem. I’m from the states and it’s been an issue here like NO other. It’s heartbreaking to hear how London is going through it.

Very good documentary & your cousins words were very true 🙏 you’ll both go very far 🤝
Came across your channel recently, killing it bro
Respect to this man is opening the eyes of many people realising where is the most dangerous areas of London
Growing up in a African family in Leytonstone just next-door to Stratford our parents did not allow us to hand around in the streets. You were either going somewhere or you were at a destination. None of this hanging around in the streets getting into trouble with all sorts.
Watching this having grown up in a very nice part of the south coast. I love travelling and your videos are eye opening in a good way. The diversity of our country is something we should be proud of and embrace. Thanks for showing us your home town. Subscribed
Really? Diversity guarantees a hellhole place to live.
“Newest is good but I’d never raise my child here”
I always felt that up until recently, it's happening too fast and no it's not working, is it due to the diversity or is it due to the numbers, the rate at which the population is growing?
@@Blue-gu5mr diversity is always important but what we and the rest of Europe are seeing now over the past year is mass illegal migration that no one is addressing we’re just letting it happen. The problem really comes down to government enforced austerity and the fact most born and bred British people are struggling to survive now with the lack of public services available and having a huge number of migrants come into the country whilst the government makes cuts to services is a recipe for disaster and our once mighty country has become a sinking ship.
@@matt64658Fully agree with you and yes our infrastructure is collapsing it can not withstand the influx. The crime and the type of crime being brought over is also a major issue.

Far from the most dangerous place in London, stop misleading people
What’s the track at the end
💯 keep up the good work g
For me after living in London for few years and in few places the most dangerous area it was Leytonstone mate the high road to Stratford was crazy in the night
Good luck mate, just what young black fellas need someone to look up too, giving out a positive message and inspiring the younger generation.
You mean instead of stabbing and killing people?

The whole of London has dangerous Boroughs and no borough is different from the other it's the same that goes down.
Nowadays it dont even matter about boroughs, man will travel wherever they need to
Truth
Don't be stupid. As a londonder there is definitely discernable differences in the people and atmosphere across the boroughs. They are not "the same"
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for example cannot be compared to the likes of Newham, Brent or Tower Hamlets for example. Its like a totally different world. The latter 3 boroughs are broadly terrible.

You don't have a clue but you quick to say "Don't be stupid" in London every Borough there is shit that goes down you just not aware whether rich Borough or poor however you want to put it as.
@@rankingtrevor
He's not talking about the affluent parts of London though is he. So he's right what he says all urban boroughs, with estates etc do follow same code
This country has gone down the pan.
Remember the old days when you'd enter a country only if you're clean. Not anymore, all the worlds problems are heading to the UK.
No London has
Was it great in the 1930s when poor people were living in their own filth 20 people crammed in slum houses with one toilet between them
@@ogmusik2549 at least crime was lesser.
It’s a shame the area is being gentrified so rapidly, social cleansing is taking place under then guise of regeneration. They say they’re bringing opportunities and creativity to the area but like you listed there’s a whole encyclopaedia of trendsetters and taste makers to come out of East London, working class kids who didn’t need to forfeit their identity to do their thing. Alexander McQueen didn’t need to see his area change economically to become of the greatest British designers of all time. Newham to the world.
Apart from the olympic village area, I don't think newham has changed too much. It's still among the worst areas in london. Anyone with money would never want to live in east ham or forest gate.
If outsiders bring in money and more opportunity... Then that's good... Ideally we don't want rich white ghettos or poor black ghettos.. Mixed areas provide a social dynamic of entrepreneurship and artistic creativity...
@@thomaswilliams5849 yeah I agree but it’s not stopping them for trying. The worst part is that you’re right, people don’t want to live there, so estates are being vacated and knocked down and replaced with new flats that sit empty
@@pyellard3013 that is ideal but it often isn’t reality, the new residents in areas like Stratford and down by the docks have isolated themselves, the wealth inequality is huge
@@archie1895 I agree that too huge inequality can't work.. But the East End has been improved overall over the last 30 years..
Great, video! Very informative.
Sat in East London.... that part has changed since wheelers....
I live in Maryland, but in the States and our city of Baltimore tells a similar story
At least you’re not in Ohio brah
Brilliant and interesting interview. Just came across your channel and had to share some love.
Great video and you present really well. But it’s really OTT to imply that Newham is equivalent to the South Bronx or North Philadelphia. Even in Newham, crime levels are really low compared with many US cities.
They’re desperate
crime levels arent low at all, murder rates are
comparing anywhere in the uk to north philly is disrespectful af, north philly a whole 3rd world area
@@lo11163 there are plenty of very poor places in da UK wit high ass crime rates, as high as the US, not saying the murder rates are as high, but theres a lot of Americans cappin tb this look like a middle class neighbourhood inna US, knowing damn well it doesnt
I grew up on them streets in the 80s early 90s. Used to drink in the Falmouth, Foresters, cart and horses, baccas bin. Leytonstone high road was the boundary otherside of the high road was the Chatsworth posse. We used to visit them and them us some naughty times but nothing like today I guess. The Rave scene kicked in 89 and changed the vibe for the better. Tripping out on top of Hanniker point was mad 🤣. I loved them streets and area always in my heart ❤
I assume the title is wind up? There’s no way that Maryland/Stratford is the most dangerous place in London lol
