Can't understand why people would want to live in inner London,especially if you have kids.I know not all of it is rubbish but surely for quality of life for you and your family you would want to move to the suberbs.
Granted,some pockets of London are nice and safe but I would hate it worrying every time my kids went out and not 100% sure they would come back in one pioece.
I was born and bred in East Ham and lived there till 1988...I don't miss it .
Essex is fine but the ferral rats are slowly making their way east.

I'm not denying that Gavvy you mupp'... i'm going on your statement of....
`Its amazing really that some of the most deprived areas are in places like Camden and Islington`.
I'm trying to work out what is exactly deprived about camden?? Is it the occasional craft beer can that finds itself in the canal??

Even in 2011 I didnt see much problem for the average person. It was only shops that were getting raided (which of course is bad but at least they should have had insurance).
White people might like to fret about black violence buy 99 times out of 100 theyre killing their own.
What I do agree with and what has been totally ignored is that successive governments havent helped the first generations of hard working immigrants from the west indies instill the same in their children and even more so grandchildren. Its quite shocking to be frank.

Yes Gavros Islington was like that long before Hackney.
Its an explosive mix IMO and I dont want to live anywhere near it.
We see how easily it can boil over in 2011 wothout all the usual daily mugging and stabbing

I don't much care. none of these gangs ever bother me. its a bit of a two system society in inner London now, the kids on the estates and middle class people living in Victorian housing. Its amazing really that some of the most deprived areas are in places like Camden and Islington.

In all honesty though hackney still has a massive gang and crime problem.
Its not like the problem has all shifted to Essex or Havering, yes some of it has but much of it is still in Hackney.
Ditto brixton harlesden and all the other "up and coming" areas.
