BBC hire this girl and give her a series damn it, you are destined to present
God will bless you ❤️
@@HenrieKwushue literally praying for your success 🌟🌟
Hackney needs an episode like this, maybe a guest presenter who was raised in hackney could also get involved.
I could tell you some stories about Hackney. About ten years ago, my Nigerian friend lived with her three kids on a council estate. One day she said that there were gun shots and they went on for a long time. She and the kids had to get down on the floor for about an hour, until they thought the vibrant lads had had their fun and were going home to mum for their suppers. Happy days. Before you ask, no they wuzzent white gun slingers.
I was born in Peckham in 1947 and left in 1955. Believe me, it’s nothing like it used to be. Alas.
Sorry chief. Your country was sold a long time ago.
KingCribble Yes, I’m quite aware of that, and life has to progress but, I’m still sorry that things have to change so radically. I still visit Peckham, but often I feel I no longer belong there.
@@terrywhitworth5350 Well I hope you've found a new home and community. The 2021 census will be a shock to all native Brits.
@@KingCribble Thank god it was
“What do you like about Peckham?” “It feels like I’m still in Africa.” There’s something a bit puzzling about that.
Excellent job Henrie. Bubbly personality, informative and very warm with the interviewing style.
Excellent video, love the energy and charisma. Looking forward to seeing more of you.
I was born in Peckham back in 1979. Grew up there and saw it turn from a shithole to a dangerous shithole.
Thanks for this Henrie:) Have family in Peckham and it's fascinating to see your view on how things have and are changing there
One thing I noticed there's barely any Caribbean's left in peckham compared to 80s-90s, everyone got shipped out to Catford. The people partying there now wouldn't step foot in that area at night back in the day.
Is it a good thing CV that people can have a good time and not get killed now
@@tobiasgriffin4263 People never got murdered this regularly back in them days especially kids and it was rough and very poor. People got moved out the area in the mid-late 90s ,money came in and redeveloped the flats. New migrants started coming in replacing the previous residents. A few years down the line black boy's are getting murdered or stabbed practically every week and rye lane is now full of Hipsters. That's Peckham now.
@@equinox95 And those black boys are 100 % Nigerian and Jamaicans....not other black nationalities. jamaicans and nigerians in packham love engaging in gangbang/roadman lifestyle
@@jadenlee-chin4629 So do the Asian boys(Vietnamese/Chinese) in New Cross and Deptford engaging in organized Crime and drug cultivation🤫. I always wondered who was growing all the Cannabis.
@@equinox95 Yes they do those Vietnamese and Chinese we all know this bro. Nothing new.....but its a fact that its not black boys but particular Jamaicans and Naijas in peckham 🤫 .
There are so many social similarities between African-Americans, Black Canadians and Black Britons, but most Black Britons have a stronger and more direct cultural tie to the motherland than us/we on the other side of the Atlantic.
That's bc black ppl in London are from Africa and the Caribbean
Yea. What the others said. Most Black Britons are first, second, or third generation. Their parents and grandparents come from Africa, or the Carribean, thus the strong cultural ties. Whereas Aftican Americans have lived in the Americas for generations due to slavery,
Lol black ppl don’t even know what country they’re from in Africa lost people lool
Nuin African bout them
@@smashb3766 American blacks aren’t from Africa I wish people stop saying this. Yes we resemble but we aren’t the same people. There is nothing African about us because we aren’t African in the first place.
Loving this series !
Yo chicken shop girl
@Joseph 2022 2036
Great upload Henrie, really interesting and I love your style.
Lol the way she darted out the station 🤣
0:23 LMAO the woman in the red shirt is my mum
Loooool no wayyy
Lol 😂
I grew up in Peckham from 94 - 10 and it is changing.
So proud of you and proud of this and I don’t even know you 😩🙌🏾 Peckham is home ❤️
The comments under this video is disgusting. The racism jumped out. Thanks for showing us the beauty of these places Henrie
@sanjay j yh right
Go outside of London to other uk cities and see real racism and segregation in Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and how divided people are.
Here is a decent, ordinary fellow Nigerian, who in broad daylight in my own town says to me, his Member of Parliament, that the country will not be worth living in for his children. I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking - not throughout Peckham, perhaps, but in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of Nigerian history.
We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 Whites, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the English descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit unmarried Whites to immigrate for the purpose of founding a family with spouses and fiancées whom they have never seen.
That will confuse some. Know exactly what you mean though.
@Nick the chopper yes and the british are wtf
I've just subscribed to this channel. The documentaries are all brilliantly and professionally done. Better than anything else on British TV at the moment. Keep it up. You'll soon get far with this. Continue to be yourself.
Continue to document the lives and experiences of African and Caribbean peoples in the UK. You are documenting history. Your UA-cam documentary films will soon be taught in schools. You'll see.
i havent even finished but well done girl. proper production
Love this series so much 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I fucking hate the place I live in, Peckham well on the edges u know
Its the first time I have watched your Chanel and I am impressed by your polished presenting skills you surely will have a great career in TV. Keep up the high standard you have set.
3:23 we already know Congolese uncles be rocking them in style tho 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boniko ah😂
We know she wanted to say congo 😂😂😂
For real🤣🤣
XXX YYY fr 😭😭😭😂😂 even that I am Congolese
I enjoyed this, need more like this please ❤️💛 I was also born and raised in Peckham, North Peckham easte. Not the same like it used to be but I have so much memories of that place.
Come croydon next 😂
Lol it's not gentrified
@@BrooklyntoBrixton Have you seen croydons night life? or Boxpark?
DJ Scarta Boxpark Croydon is still mostly locals
Yeah but is not changed the same way Brixton/Peckham has, she should do New Cross/Deptford next, or even Hackney
Sabotaz80 okay I see what you mean
I used to live in peckham and old Kent road between 2001 and 2003 and work at peckham Cinema for one year and Tesco old Kent road as a security. I'm not living in Republic of Ireland for the last 16 years now, wonderful memory.
this was amazing to watch!
Big up you 100 times this is entertaining af im from peckham too and she aint lying bout the starjumps boy loool
Love this ! I went to Peckham levels for a work colleague's birthday and I felt exactly the same ! Everyone's so anti there 🙃
Nate Conner there is no vibe in there. That's what she means by anti. There is no love no vision no inclusivity
@@jeffrejr1 thank you for explaining 😊
It is great. I used to live near Naylor Road and moved to Lewisham in 1996. Being able to walk down the road not worrying about your general safety is great. Plus there is a Tonkotsu and Honet Burger there now, Result! Anyone remember the woolworths that used to be by peckham plex? Haha times change.
Love this channel, Peckham has definitely changed for the better!
I love this series!! I just found your channel and I am glad I did! Please do Walthamstow! Xoxoxo
I’ve always wanted to visit a Piece of Britain that looks like the worst parts of Detroit
@@Claireradusha99 all those stabbings and all that gang warfare are so great aren't they?
@@Claireradusha99 , what IS the culture they bring? I thought that this lady said that she is British?
@@gottagotag6980 And the stabbings have been going on for soooo long. #DamilolaTaylor Those murderers used to enjoy the services provided by Kids Company. What a waste of public money and celebrity donations.
I swear this intro track is everything!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Peckham to di world, Peckham we sehhhhh!!!
WHERE IS YOUR AWARD!! Love this show
So interesting seeing this, great video
my favourite series on youtube please keep these episodes coming! Hackney, Camden (not south i know but interesting none the less), Croydon and clapham would be good to see too!
3:18 Congo
LinkWave Congo daddy shoe 👞👌🏾
😂😂 I saw this comment as soon as she said it and that's what I was thinking
@Sekhmet 13 Belgian Congo ?
Spot on! 😂😂😂😂
@Sekhmet 13 My Etonian pal Aubrey owns land in the Belgian Congo
Amazing ,more conversations need to be had about how rapidly area's are changing ... and the knock on effect this has on residents
Keep up the good content!
we will not be replaced
@rebecca Do you have any shame? Imagine if the roles were reversed. Imagine that millions of white people were moving into an African or Caribbean country, turning its local people into a minority. And if any of the local people voice their opposition to the demographic replacement, they are called "racists" or "xenophobes" or "bigots."
@@smugcanuck5529 These people will not understand until every one of them has a bullet in their skull.
You will not be replaced but white people are having brown mixed race kids in the UK no one forced you to mix .
lol...smh!@@smugcanuck5529
Too late 😂
Fun Fact: #ReprezentRadio first base was in #Peckham. Which Henrie is part of the Reprezent family #VoiceOfYoungLondon | The Sound of Young London but now with the internet there is a level of expansion. 👊🏿✊🏿
Well done. This was the one neighborhood I didn’t get to see. This is so entertaining.
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES
Crackerjack and Beyonce are now closed :(. So sad to see them go as I know the likelihood of them being taken over by someone in the community is slim 🙁. Great series and watch, thank you for documenting our stories
Yes, nearly all our shops at the top of Rye Lane have closed too.
Crackerjack closed due to the a fire
They ain't "your" shops, they're someone else shops they decided to sell
I was born in peckham in 2003 and i left in 2017, i dont miss most of london but i do miss peckham
Sis whatever It is... You've got It! Welldone! keep it up init
Yes my sister! Good episode!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Henrie, these videos of the gentrification of London are so good!! Much better than what u would learn in a classroom! Keep doing ur thing girl!! 👌🏾👌🏾 What area’s next??
Hey lovely thank you so much! The next area is Dalston :)
@Nate Conner have you got some sort of hair fetish?
@@HenrieKwushue so you're doing Dalston? Dreams do come true hahaha
THE CHUTZPAH LMAO
Looool I loved this.
Great video - very interesting. I have used to volunteer behind Peckham Library for local fest back in 2003, years later I have studied just 10 min away in Goldsmiths... it is getting gentrified now
I’m not from Peckham but I _knew_ I wasn’t the only one noticing the gentrification
I remember growing up in Peckham as a YPB we used to hang out and rave in “Lazerdrome” on Rye lane. who remembers that club?
I love this series and I love her!!!
I was not expecting this video to be put together so well, im honestly impressed. BBC at due to hit them up for some opportunities and Im supporting
Tell her Mr Jerky. You think 30 years is insane......try 63 years, in fact myself and family used to live in East Dulwich which is just a stones throw from Peckham. Peckham was where my parents used to go for larger shopping, shoes, clothes etc, (sometimes Brixton). My parents bought a house in Peckham 63 years ago and the only other people of colour in my primary school were my brother and sister and maybe a handful of other Caribbeans. I even worked in Peckham when I left school. My sister enquired about a Saturday job when she was 14 in our local bakery, they knew our family because we used to have two loaves of bread reserved for us on a Saturday, the proprietor of the shop said "I have known your Mum for ages and although I would gladly love to employ you, it's not me but it's the other customers, they would not like to be served by a black person", and that was in 1967 *my sister went to Grammer School (if you know what that is). Yes Mr Jerky is completely correct Peckham was really upmarket and no two shops were the same. There were shoe shops and retail stores, Marks & Spencer, Jones & Higgins, a Bridal Shop, Martin Ford, Pie & Mash shop, an Antique store called Austins (the site of the first new build housing on the high Street) Ravels and Lilley & Skinner, True Form (all shoe shops) and Choumert Road was the only place you could buy West Indian provisions (market) and one black hairdressers. There were even Night Clubs on Peckham Road (Mr Bees) Barrons (Men's suits.clothing etc). Then slowly over the years it got run down, but now its coming back up again, not like it once was but improving nonetheless. Girl you should have interviewed older folk who have seen it evolve - just like Brixton. First of all they run it down and then from nowhere they improve it. The one constant thing about SE22/15 is the train stations within close proximity to each other - very good for the daily commute to work. So now its become gentrified Yep always lived round here.
This is a very interesting series!! I enjoy peckham both in the day and night. But as a bw, I do understand the gentrification and glorifying the "eccentric" corners of London, making our every day environments a stomping ground for rich kids. You have done a fabulous breakdown, and the presentation and your personality is amazing- I'm looking forward to more episodes!! I'm round the corner in lewisham, but we are still behind on the big gentrify lol, so wont be expecting that episode to be next.
check out opportunity areas (OA) london - it's a list of all the areas that have been gentrified, being gentrified or being planned on getting gentrified - your ends is definitely next
Great presenter! Can't wait to see more of these.
I remember when Peckham was a stunning shopping area, mainly Irish and West Indians lived there, it went downhill from 1991-1992 onwards....
I'm not sure about this one as none of the black people you interviewed or that i seen were actually born n bred in peckham so in essence they are part of the change. Maybe in future interview third or fourth generation people that are born n bred in that particular area to balance it out, this is just constructive criticism.
The young guy at the end was born and bread in Peckham. Unfortunately we are out number by the yuppies.
isitme I don’t think you watched the video. A man called A1 spoke at the end and was born n bred in Narm. He spoke about the change he’s seen...
@@AuntyM66 , born and 'bred', not bread. 'outnumberED', not we are out number. Before long, the entire English language will be extinct at this rate.
isitme, balance it out? You must be a great big waycist. Wink, wink.
I. now the young black guy a1 and the jamaican manthey are originally from peckham
Peace.
This gives an African American like me a great view of the diaspora, I like it! Damn... Should I move to the UK?? It's a different life and variety is di spice!! Big up!
15:32 LOOOOOOOOOL "sorry are you wearing socks"
Just chanced on this your UA-cam channel and now a convert and addict. You are very natural as a reporter. Keep it up as you have a bright future.
Going to school in Peckham. We used to play football matches: Nigeria verses the rest of the world.
As a teacher now. I will say generification won’t change the schools/haven’t changed the schools. The ppl won’t stay and raise kids here.
Exactly, it’s quite ironic that many young middle class people from small towns outside London and the rest of the country, move to places like Peckham for the ‘vibrancy’ and culture, yet don’t actually integrate with it or any of the long standing businesses/community that from the area, and then move out later in life when they realise their kids will have to go to the same schools as inner city London kids.
Sabotaz80 they will send them to private school
Depends, I’m from London and went to and have friends from school and local area from all sorts of different ethnic backgrounds
Etienne Bunbury I’m sorry when was Peckham and Hackney the same place ? I’ve also worked and currently work in a Peckham school, educated in Peckham and 3rd generation born in Peckham. I think I would notice if the demographics of my school - which is in the heart of Peckham has changed.
Sabotaz80, Sabotaz80, in the meanwhile they ruin the communities and take away every bit of dignity their members have. Becoming homeless and jobless while whyte privileged Play "now i wanna live here cos it's trendy" ain't no fun and games
We had a vibrant night life in Peckham in the 70s. Mr Bees, which became The Bouncing Ball was right across from Wilson's bike shop. My parents went to that club when it was Mr Bees, and I went as a teenager when it changed its name. We also had the Peckham Settlement Hall, where Jah Shaka, Coxsone, Small Axe in fact all the big sounds passed through there. The Red Bull used to have a disco on Friday night, and on a Saturday night, there would be a dozen blues dances across the North Peckham or Sumner road Estates. Plus, we had the Odean cinema next to Peckham girls. We also had St. Giles youth center in Camberwell. We always had somewhere to go. Please do a video, if you can, with residents who were around in those days. Peace!!
Wow I really didn't know all of this. I bet there's loads of archive footage too!
This was in the days when it was the caribbean people, then the Nigerians came and everything changed completely !
@@HenrieKwushue It should not be too hard to find what ever is out there. Peckham library is very good. I left Peckham in 81, and have lived in the USA since then. If people want to only look at the changes in ethnic minorities, or the balance between these minorities and the majority culture, then of course, they will notice the changes. But if we look at what is constant then, we would have to say that Peckham has still retained its working class heritage. When the neighborhood was mostly Caribbean, there were a few African brothers who hung out on the front line with us. So, we always were blending. Peace sista. I like how you do your thing!! Keep on keeping on!!
Shemra Hello , I grew up in Peckham at the same time. My parents went to the same club and The Walmer Castle pub. I went to Peckham Girls School from 1978 to 1983 and ‘What She Wants’ clothes shop on Rye Lane. I worked in Sainsbury’s ( now Peckham plex cinema ) after school. At the time, mostly Caribbean people lived here and after a while, they sold their properties and either moved overseas or further south. Peckham has changed a lot but most of our generation have moved on. I’m still here though lol.
@@joyceschultz3528 I'm just now seeing this. Good to hear someone echo my memories. I came back to the UK for the first time in 2009, and have tried to come back as much as possible since then. I was last in Peckham in 2018, went to the Levels a few times. It was fun. My sister used to work in the Bata show shop in Rye Lane in the late 70s. We lived on the Oliver Goldsmith Estate. That Peckham feeling has never left me, and enough of my old friends still live in the area, to make the journey worth while.
great video! lived in peckham all my life and this summed up the difference between night and day perfectly 😂
Very informative. I haven't been back to Peckham since I left in 2005. It seems very different now. Thanks for sharing.
What a great series, please keep making more. This is dope. SHOUT OUT YOUR TING
This was an amazing video, I live in Peckham too and I’ve definitely noticed the change and gentrification is literally happening before our eyes.
Maybe go back to Africa if you want to be with your own people
@@scotttucker1473 Your insecurities and lack of education is wreaking lol. Get your people together and pay for the journey 🤣 You're a racist. Maybe yt people should leave America which didn't belong to them and go home where they're people are from always coming somewhere trying to changing the culture of people's homes. Btw idiot all blacks aren't from African so her that money ready and send us back to out homes until then stop playing keyboard warrior coward
A long long way to go. Needs a deep clean
Amazing things has changed, good documentary.
I am loving this can you do more is your area changing
Like your content darling keep up 👌🏽
Tooting? Tooting market is getting a bit mad.
Spent 18 years working Pecknarm... also didn’t Bros work there......
Peckham is definitely Niche..... I remember the North Peckham Estate and the summer time barbecues on Rye Lane... what fun...
Queen you have a new subscriber!!!!
English people used to live there
D?ck head
So did ur mum
True or facts?...Peckham is basically Little Africa especially.
No it's way more multicultural than that there are so many Caribbeans and Latin people
@@ianblackburn2645 Yea obviously it's very multi cultural with many Caribbeans and Latin Americans as well. However, Africans (particularly Nigerians) are by far the dominant group in Peckham, that's why it's been nick named Little Lagos.
People used to call it little Lagos for its large Nigerian 🇳🇬 population
Peckham is little africa Brixton was little Jamaica and Camberwell the airport lol
@Nate Conner who are the bloodsuckers in your context ?
You're so PRETTY and HILARIOUS definitely subscribed!!!
I love Peckham because one day, me and a mate are gonna move there and open a pie shop... but sell drugs from the pie shop also.
Crackerjacks has been there sooo long 40 - 45 years. I remember before Peckhamplex it was a sainsburys. I grew up in Peckham. I remember people could not wait to get out of Peckham many moves to the Croydon area. At one point no body liked to walk in Peckham at night as fearing the PBs. Its nice that peckham is being cleaned up from the crime but what's said Is people are being driven out due to the high prices the regeneration this is happing everywhere now peckham, Brixton, Elephant and Lewisham.
Its closed now it burnt down
such a dope idea, well presented, subscribing look forward to more
1 min in and I had to subscribe.. something new and fresh on yt keep it up.. you’re great at presenting I can see you on tv
Tamara Jones thank you!! God bless x
Lovely presentation and what a looker!
yeah dalston next, sounds good, ur jokes as well x
You need to go a docseries in Netflix content going international baby
I just watched your videos because I'm a homesick south Londoner.... Loving all the comments discussing what area you should do next but I bet you a triple m burger you'll never do a vid about Penge 😂
Performing guitar at batch bar next Thursday for Kash Funk, great video, love Peckham x
HIPSTERS are gonna take over london 2025. how my in deptford market walking pass 3 hipster bars. smh just GERROUTOFHERE
I agree Deptford is their land
@Nate Conner when whites move into these areas you say its gentrification. some people will never be happy
Wow their in Deptford High St now, funny how areas you never thought would change have. That explains why parts of Catford look rundown.
@@Mel87y It was working class poor people's land 1st.
Dez Lotto Goldsmiths Uni down the road what’d you expect?
Oh I miss getting mugged by PGY/SN1. Such wonderful days :)
I miss the riots of 2011. Peckham, Lewisham, Hackney. The summer of 2011 Looting in Tooting
Love this
You lovely Henrie have a spot on conscious delivery ! Maybe you might have time to do some air bnb Experience tours !? I'd definetely book one ! Aloha 🏄
we all know that was a congolese shew
I actually saw you on the day this filming was done. Job well done sis.

@natty nate Haitian Zulu warrior spirit STFU
I like your videos makes a change from usual stuff
13:47 um, that's my history teacher. 😂
Let’s be real gentrification started after the olympics from east ldn and spread to south north/north west It’s happening In most working class areas. It’s sad
Happened long before that!
@Belize Boy D I dont get it, thought peckham was full of roadmen and thugs
It's been going on for at least a decade in the area mentioned by the video. How have so many people not noticed?
It's been happening for decades and not just Peckham. Any area in London populated mostly by ethnics with affordable house prices and an abundance of culture will eventually be gentrified by the flavourless elite.
Also it’s not like the culture is going anywhere it’s just not going to be in London anymore ... It’s going to be all over the country and I’m glad that it’s going to change
Who remembers Ezekiel's back in the 1990s? Nice hip-hop and r&b club. Like if you do.
Yep I do
Good work girl you carry on with your presenting.
