I won't go into too much detail , but some of my dad's side of the family lives in that exact Marconi area you were mentioning. That part of Marconi seems pretty normal during day time hours, kinda quiet, families out with kids, but night time is a whole different story. and I have had a few good nights of late night drinking just keeping to ourselves, and can confirm I've heard more gunshots there than anywhere else before, and the police straight up do not respond to it. Also the other rough areas you mentioned were bang on. I'm currently living in one of them.. I kinda rolled my eyes at your title and thumbnail , but a very close and trusted friend of mine sent me this video so I gave it a chance.. and you hit the nail on the head. I now have cameras up at my house.. I just keep to myself and try to stay away from the rough stuff.
Great video, informative, and accurate. Stay safe out there!!
Good luck and hopefully you can move somewhere that you can be comfortable. I loved in London my whole life and our experiences are totally opposite. I've been blacked out and safely got myself 12k across town on foot. But i could have been lucky too. Of course I've done more than that but that's probably the most standout time.
@@astroid99 I guess it just depends on who is out and where you were out.. I'm not trying to say London is dangerous by any means.. I'd just be careful
There is no where in London police do not respond to gun shots if you are calling the police and they do not show up to gun shots it’s because you are mentally disabled and filed to many false reports
I have lived in Kipps Lane for 5 years and i hear sirens every other day.
2 years and me too, constantly.
I get it , bad experiences in these areas form opinions. I grew up and lived in the city for the last 30 years minus a few trips for some months. Lived east of Adelaide for 25 of those years. Hamilton Road, Trafalgar, Egerton area. Never had any issues with randoms I didn't know. Always walked around late as a kid.
Thanks, great show
As a londoner who lives in a nice area but went to school in a poor area. Poor people literally goto the "rich" areas and will break into about 10-40 cars a day. They don't know where I live but, thankfully they never hit our stuff but my nerighbors weren't so lucky.
I have live in most of the so called bad areas in London Ontario. The worst area to me was Cheyenne Avenue back in the late 70's. They changed the name to Oakland Gardens i think a while back. I lived on Linwood street right beside Boullee for 7 years and i did not find it to be a rough area at all. London sucks and i can't wait to leave this future tent city.
Pond Mills
Lyle and Eggerton
No doubt
Hey Ryan...always enjoy your videos! Btw...you may want to double check the last 10 seconds of this one...
Thanks for that! Clipped it
Thank for this video. What are your thoughts on living near Dundas Street and Clarke Road?
Not the greatest area but Parkhurt and shepherd are pretty quiet streets for the area
Anything near dundas is near the people doing drugs and such
What’s your take in the glencairn area, almond road & Deveron?
It’s a little further south closer to pond mills area. So it’s further away from the controlled rent buildings mentioned in the video
Hamilton road area is pretty bad as well
I like this video! My mum lives in London in the pond mills housing. Is pond mills on your radar for being an undesirable living location?
I chose not to put it on the list. It’s hit and miss depending on who you ask
@@ryancrits-londonontariocan4732 no pond mills is bad. My buddy grew up there next to the large housing projects.
Pond mills is bad!!!
Very true, totally agree
I saw a nice apartment at 629 Kipps Lane. Thank God, and you helped me to make my decision. A big NO..😅
Also baseboard heating which costs a lot
I live on Arbour Glen Cr. ,off Kipps Lane, by the park and river. beautiful and peacefull place. I have electric baseboard heating in my apartment and I don't pay more than $70 per month. You can find jewels in bad neigbourhoods.
I agree... sometimes it changes street by street
Thoughts on Burnside Dr? It’s a street over from Marconi..
Actually pretty good street. It’s crazy how one street can make a difference. Beautiful small 1960s build homes on a quiet tree lined street
Hey, Do you have insights on commissioners Rd E ad Pond Mills rd and surrounding area?
Anything pond mills is bad news. Born and raised here
Thoughts on Josephine St in Chelsea Green? EOA…is it rough? Or nice?
It’s not the greatest but it’s ok
Was waiting to see oakville ave brought up lol, apparently used to be pretty bad
I lived in Soho for 6 years with a bunch of stuff happening - my house was robbed on my second last day in the hood - they stole my E- bike and the lady was home downstairs while it happened.
Yeah… soho is too close to downtown for my liking
She was in on it
How safe is the area around 951 commissioner road east, Bristol apartment? Any insight will help me a lot.
I’ve actually hear good things about that building. I believe they recently renovated a lot of it. your in the glen cairn area, but your a little further down away from where the problems are. The main issues is at Thompson and king Edward. I believe your ok there.
Thanks for the insight.
Safe building near the hospital it isn’t far from pond mills but there isn’t trouble there
I live in London and that is a good area, Commisioners is a safe area
*you're 😉@@ryancrits-londonontariocan4732
I live in Carling and I love it, rent an apartment. Within a 5 minute walk of a grocery store, avoid the bad areas surrounding me but honestly I grew up in Mount Dennis in Toronto (lot's of gun violence in the complex I lived in with multiple gangs). So besides the standoff that happened in the complex just north of Carling, it's not that bad here. What I hate about my area and new developments is despite the city being called "Forest City" new communities and EoA in general are very Barren of Trees.
I think in order to keep the nickname of Forest City in the future city planners should encourage new developments and developers to plant Trees and incorporate even small parks/forests in their plans.
A well maintained park/forest will boost the happiness of future people moving in and promote safer environments as kids and youth will have a place to go hang out.
It’s true, that area has more of an urban concrete jungle feel to it. There are lots of wooded areas but most are along the Thames river or in the pricey areas
@ryancrits-londonontariocan4732 Great Video by the way
I grew up on Saddy Ave lol. Live in Komoka now, miss the eaat tho
Good portion of Hamilton Rd is pretty bad just last week police, fire crew and ambulance had 2 blocks blocked off. Everyone knows the nail salon is a front for crackhouse.
Back in the 80s boullee used have a gang called the Boullee Gang !!! 😝🤦
Lol i remember this
What is your opinion on the old east village?
If you watch the east London map tour video I mention it. It’s a bit rougher. A bit more crime in the area… it’s close-ish to downtown area
Bonaventure/ North Trafalgar Heights has chilled out a lot in recent years, when I was younger the area despite being moderately new was in rough condition broken fences and constant vandalism. There are some really nice houses in the area however there is a large concentration of townhouses. Like 6 public housing complexs and 3 small crummy apartments. Anyways there was a lot of drugs being transported into that area years ago. There was also two street gangs active (Eastside Gang and Bono Boys) however they didn't cause too many issues for people in the area. Mostly focussed on drugs. There were several violent incidents during the 2010s with other groups from the Marconi and Hilton areas. Since then there have been significant efforts to beautify the area. A lot of the complexes have received makeovers as well as all the fences. Things have definitely changed a lot from when I was younger. But there has been arsons and shootings even still.
You are not wrong bono deffinetly had it's crazy times from the huge gang fight in the bono school field to the multiple stabbings & people getting jumped at Bush bashes & all the other stupid/crazy shit
Ah yes
@@devonmanicom1277 Oh 100 %, and let's just say when it came to situations like that I'm glad that I was associated with people in Bono. It could get messy really quick. A lot of manpower in that area back in the day.
The deaths in Boullee were not gang related. The lady overdosed and the baby died of dehydration. So sad :(
Glen Carin is upper class for EOA. lol
The whole area in between Egerton-Hamilton-Richmond-Dundas and blocks just off of these roads are by far the worst in the city. Hilton st, Limberlost and southdale and milbank deserve mentions.
It's not that bad here. I lived EOA my whole life (44 years) and I haven't even been murdered once. There's almost always a guy like me that is willing to pee on the guy that pees on everything.
Lots of good people live EOA.
Thank you for the video, very informative. I would also like to know if there is someone on your team who could help with renting in London Ontario, I have to move there soon for work
Hey! Thanks for watching! Unfortunately we don’t do rentals - but I would check Facebook marketplace or kijiji?
@@ryancrits-londonontariocan4732 Thanks 🙏 I'll email you more details
How about 860 commissioners rd east. Looking to buy condo there. Please inform.
Yeah not bad. It’s the Thompson and kind Edward intersection where things get a little more rough. Your on the Main Street there by the hospital- decent purchase for that price range
Safe
My dad grew up near Boullee on Sterling Street. This area has always been sketchy. Anyone from there remember Zeek that drove the big caddilac?
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the soHo area. It’s also a problematic area in London
I live in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Toronto, if it's public housing definitely avoid😂
Hey man I grew up on cascade ave. Not blvd and the people that lived there were some of the best people in the world
Remember cascade waid? Lol
Bro stop scaring these folks london aint that dangerous as long as you keep your nose clean it aint detroit or jane & finch
Just trying to inform people who are looking to move or invest here where the riff raff is and where it isn’t. They know nothing about London and need a quick rundown
London the capital (ie the most) of seial killers. At least it was at 1 time
Your quick run down isn't accurate , If I see you in person , Will go for a drive and I'll show you. London is a great city and its people like you who spread lies.
London ain't that bad or dangerous? When's the last time you went downtown? I work at Hamilton and Adelaide and there's homeless everywhere. Homless people constantly setting fires, breaking in, needles, vandalism, and yes, even assaults. We have to keep poles and knives readily available to defend ourselves and our property. And the police are useless. A homeless woman set fire to the outside of our shop. Police came and she was standing there watching the fire. Cops questioned her and let her go. As she was walking away we could see her clearly flicking her bic. Got it all on security footage. We questioned the police as to why they let an arsonist go and they Cleary didn't want the hassle of doing their damn job. London is a horrible city run by libtards.
@@spartanchuckles8743 Except that was just one random dude who wrote an article at UWO. One guy said that and now everyone acts like it's fact.
Hi guys, hows the patience crescent area interms of safety and crimes?
That’s in white oaks. It’s a working class areas but not unsafe or dangerous
What’s ur take on the cove Ryan? Nice video btw.
Coves are a good area. I live next to it in manor park
Lived on street right next to Hilton Ave till 2005. Always heard bad things about it but was around there all the time and didn't see anything not so great.
Me too for a while
I totally disagree that Glen Cairn & "East of Adelaide" is dangerous. We've lived and raised 2 sons here for 20 years. 2 incidents in 2 years by a couple of criminals does not make the neighborhood. They don't even live here. How many domestic assaults, fraud, intimidation calls don't get reported in the North West, "desired" areas? This is a safe neighborhood. And larger then you've reported.
I’m glad you lived a happy life there. I grew up in the east end as well and have friends and family that live there. I feel there is a stark difference between the east end and the other areas. I’m trying to give a good idea of what each area is like for newcomers to the city. The crime rates are definitely much higher in that area of the city.
I agree we grew up East of Adelaide, it's not that bad. Just mind your own business and you should be allright.
People who live in trash neighbourhoods always try to justify it. Compare it to a rich neighbourhood and it’s bad lol.
If you gotta say “as long as you mind your business you are fine” then it’s a BAD area 😂.
@@blakesking6615 At least the people are real and not a bunch of snobs trying to keep up with the Joneses.
I think it’s accurate… there’s spots through that area you want to avoid. There’s a spot at Commissioners and King Edward that my Mother grew up on, it was farmland then. Funny story, when she retired they bought a place along Burlington Street, pretty decent area but she lived there in the 40’s and the farmland was sold and the area was developed for housing shortly after that. She had fond memories so they loved it but we noticed there was an older building at the end of the street that was now Co-Op Housing.
It seemed to ruin the area, they sold their house because the value was going down because the crime was getting worse. There are defintely bad areas in Glen Cairn now but there are definitely older areas that date back to the early 1800’s. Not everything in the East or South is bad but I agree most of the NW is better. Co-Op housing, and some cheaper older neighbourhoods have an impact on the overall communities.
How about the south side of admiral drive....is it safe there?
Admiral Drive is that area I mentioned in another video near Lord Nelson Public School. I have always thought of it as a nice quiet safe area. Not too much shenanigans going on.
It's ok I'm close to there
Me waiting for my area to be mentioned...........and yup, there it is. lol.
the first building on king Edward i lived there 13 years (empty because they rented to a street rat who burnt it down) he has a point lol but not gov housing
Hi Ryan, i sent your team an email but got no reply. Do you help with getting international students a home in a safe neighbourhood?
Hi! Sorry I was out of the country for a while. Unfortunately we can not assist with rentals. I hope you are able to find a good place!
my eldest sister is a mother of four mazing girls she lives on marconi blvd in the semidetaches, she works fulltime in a mens drug rehab facilty so i take affence when you say stay far awy from this neighbourhood
Why would that offend you? The area isn’t as nice as others in London. I did not mention your sister or comment on her character. This channel is for people seeking more info about London and it’s neighborhoods
When I was living in dt London this one time I descended my buildings stairs to street level and this old man was full on pissing against our glass door in broad daylight. So I kicked it open on him, he fell over on the sidewalk all full of piss. And he was acting like I was in the wrong lol.
How about Bradley and Earnest Area sir??
So that’s white oaks area. It’s always been known as kind of rough or blue collar but I really don’t think it’s that bad. The schools in the area don’t perform well but aside from that I think it’s an alright area.
Whats your take on Adelaide Street and Queen Ave? Specifically Elizabeth Street? Looking to move there/buy property. Is there growth potential there for the future with Hard Rock coming near? What kind of tentants are available?
That’s pretty close to Downtown London. I don’t feel that’s has never been known as a great place to buy. Google streetview Dundas and Adelaide and scroll around. Also many houses around there are 100+ years old. I think your better off buying in the suburbs
My Aunt had a gardener from a war torn Central American country who said he had to move away from Boulee Street because it was too scary.😮
Elizabeth and Queen is not a good area. drug users and lots of homeless hang in that area
It's right next to the methadone clinic, one of the few areas of this city I avoid like the plague. I would never buy anything anywhere near Adelaide and Dundas or Adelaide and Queen.
Not me watching this living on Marconi Blvd 😩😩😩 but I live on the new side.
Haha new side isn’t bad
I grew up on Marconi. It’s okayish now, but when it was still Cascade Avenue, oh boy. Was worse than Toronto hoods
Haha same. Yeah it was rough. Saw a police chase once
give us a map showing all the public housing in the city. sadly we need even more than is there already.
Ah kipps lane, good times being told about it being unsafe
Once in London, I saw a dope fiend fight a parking meter. He lost, as his hands turned to pulp. Apparently, the meter insulted his not there girlfriend. His flowing, anger ridden rant was laden with cussing. Insane.
South of Glen Carin aka Scenic drive is really bad. The housing projects here are very shady.
Today, MS13 is more active in Canada than it is in El Salvador.
what about Limberlost, and the rest of the low income housing on the other side of the tracks your not talking about.. or is it that the otherside is alot better to live in but cost more?
I have heard that's bad also , he did say in the video to mention the other rough spots.
I actually lived there for couple years starting 2018, it is actually fairly nice, quiet, and a bunch of neighbourhood kids playing outside.
Limberlost north of Gainsborough is fine, but south of Gainsborough is where the public housing is
@@jackibechard2452 yeah I know, I was at the south, they did have a bad rep from before, but somehow is been much better recent years.
Inkerman Street... Thoughts?
That’s the Hamilton road area… the most affordable homes in London are in that area but there id a lot of petty crime in the area
My old home
London isn't so bad , try some of your small county towns where the police are in or just can't handle it . Ha I live in Chatham and there's a reason were called little Detroit. We're got full representation from bikers, to organized gangs operating here
Try Glencoe. Place is lawless and wild
i was a kid in 1970's/80's E O A London. One time walking home from Boyle Memorial p.s. a guy whipped his wang out in front of me and P P'd on the sidewalk on Charolette and Dundas. Then two years later on, while going to trafalgar p.s., police were telling parents to watch out for a man driving a VW rabbit that attempted to grab kids while walking down trafalgar st. Two years later, another guy was exposing himself to children down at St Julien park. The amount of stabbings and crime I have heard happen in east london, especially Bouilee st during those days would make you think I lived in Detroit
As the crackhead underneath adelaide bridge, I disagree with this.
Avoid Simcoe and Grey St
What about - Edmonton and Hilton area- I saw a guy pull a knife on another guy at the Tim Hortons
The Tim Hortons on Dundas? I feel like that’s more of a reflection on Dundas than the Wavell area homes. Lol Dundas I’m a nutshell
And Hilton and Edmonton is the worst area in the city
Yo there is a set of apartments on Hilton everyone calls it the Hilton hotels, it's a joke because their shitty
They are not government houses at the bottom of KE aka Kind Edward I grew up there . Were shoulda been the projects but that's a step up . I lived on Marlborough Ave right beside the bottom most my life
What are your thoughts on the area
Crazy how londons blowing up like this it’s soo fucked
Crime rates peaked in the mid 1970's, and have been dropping steadily since.
Lived in London for 20 years. Was a peaceful place.
Still is. Just gotta watch what and were you are after dark. Its been like this since the 80s and 90s when i was growing up in the core
The solution to this shit, get rid of the drugs, get rid of the weak on crime ppl in govt.
Hilton st area is a avoid at all costs
London wasn’t like this when I was younger , it was a nice small city .
What about the Limberlost area?
Similar to boullee that it’s government housing complex but it’s not that or as bad in my opinion but I would avoid it
And the surrounding area is very nice it has a lot of families so it’s not that bad but there is crime
Depends on whether you're north of Gainsborough or south of it. South is public housing, north is decent
Looks nicer than London UK
Less knives too
Id mention around quebec st area too lol.
And about Waterman Ave, White Oaks area? Is it safe for a family with 2 girls?
White oaks isn't too bad. Afew wanna be thugs is about all you will see
How's the Area of Sarnia/Wonderland (Blue Forest Street)
Good area! Close the Hyde park. Safe, good schools
@@ryancrits-londonontariocan4732 Thanks for the reply.
Changing...
@@pn1831 what changing
Gunshots every night dont wear the wrong colors or you might get pressed
H block. Lol. I got shot in thw head with a bb by 2 kids. Chased en down with a katana parkouring over fences for a good scare. Bad area. Don't live in eoa.
Same. Except I was chased by a roving, post-apocalyptic gang of Canadian ninja. Chuck Norris saved my life that day.
My cityyyyyy wwwwwwww😂😂😂😂
Lots of people with thoughts on other areas. Make your own vids or pay this guy to investigate. Odds are, if you have issues, you live in a sh*thole. Take it upon yourself to try and get out :)
I don't know about London England, every city has the same crap, every city is the same😮
U forgot old east Chesley ave area
Yeah that’s right he egerton and ham road. Not a great area
@@ryancrits-londonontariocan4732 yeah my house alone this year has been constant theft breaking and entering a fire in April. Now that we haven't been living there it happens anytime of day or night. Luckily my neighbors have been trying to watch the house I've done police reports lost over 20 grand from theft and the police won't do anything about any of it
Man that sucks... Im sorry to hear that
The "gangs" here, besides bikers, are all junkies that's it and there's alot of them . London socks my house has been broken into 4 times (eoa)
That's my area BTW lol
People have been getting mad at me for saying EOA isn’t good lol
Yep lots of wanna be thugs and drugs
I feel like your not mentioning how bad hyde park is.... the hate crime that happened, the kids that have been taken and the cars stolen.... It's not as safe as you make it seem.
I really disagree with grouping all of carling in with whats happening on boulie. I live around there and all my neighbours are all old white people or new couples. Nice people who look out for eachother
Rest in Peace Emmanuel Awai
Is London more dangerous than Toronto
Probably not
Didn’t realize Canada some areas have alot gangs & crime what is very safe city in Ontario is Waterloo Kitchener very safe
Yeah, I would still say much of London is safe. Kitchener/Waterloo is very white collar and safe but more expensive. Windsor is fairly safe and affordable - no gangs
@@ryancrits-londonontariocan4732 thank you Waterloo Kitchener I research into it any other Ontario you can say is safe like oakville Barrie Burlington I really thought Canada didn’t have virtually no violent crime anywhere but I guess it’s like the states some parts
Canada ain't Barbieland
Can you sell me one of those Kipps Lane Houses Cheep?
Is it that Bad there
Nope. Just gotta watch what you are up to after dark. Its like that any place tho
What about Limber lost???
I like white hills but limberlost is rough
You have to be blessed to live here, as a person moving from Chicago there is no comparison
Yep. Londons a joke. As long as you watch you six and be respectful and lock your shit up then your ok
It’s STK gng
If they were in blue jeans and base ball caps, guess what, they would be alive today. He was mental and looking for a target. Ya, ya, you can dress any way you want. But why be a potential target.
Southern london sucks even more
Lol southern side of londons the good side. You must live in the far far north
This is very very very bad for your towns and cities in Ontario and what are your political leaders and law officials doing 🤔 about this problem that we have in Canada 🇨🇦 right ✅️ now ✅️ this very wrong shameful you are putting people's life in danger 🙄
Crime rates peaked in the mid 1970's, and have declined steadily since then.
but i though Canada have very tough gun laws
That’s only for law abiding citizens. Criminals just get them illegally
@@ryancrits-londonontariocan4732 so it dont work, the libs in the Us tell me it works, i will take your Facts, so what do the people of canada do when a bad guy has a gun do the people say please bad guy please wait for the police to come
@@dknowles60 they only get them so easily because we are next to like the gun capital of the world
Basically yeah. Even if you own a gun, it has to be stored in a safe with ammo removed. Bad guy ain’t waiting
DONT GO TO LONDON>>>WE DO NOT NEED OUTSIDERS TAKING UP HOUSING!!!!
Lol
I grew up across the street from J.P Robarts p.s
