Born and raised in London, spent 25 years there, and left 10 years ago. Basically no one I grew up with still lives in London, we've moved out, couldn't afford the rents.

Something tells me you're not gonna like NYC & Times Square 😊

Golders hill park off Hampstead Heath is lovely. And not sure what that bird was, but it sounds like a plane.

Nice video man ! May I ask what is the camera use here ? Really like the treatment of the image !

Immigration has eroded our culture and many parts of London

Super good message! Keep being genuine!

where is this filmed

You are great, mate. Neoliberalism.Primed for Fascism.Not long ago...nazis rioting !!! London was always a weird place to find conversation. Investing in the young isn't what Boomers want.

Years of post-bailout "austerity" and hostile policies will do that to a country and its people. I don't think saying hello more often to strangers is going to help much.

The internet has destroyed the fabric of society

As a russian I feel extremely hard to fit into local communities tbh. It's much easier to get on with immigrants rather than locals unfortunately

niche socialist groups are always a good laugh - I live in walworth which is the traditional territory of the Socialist Party of Great Britain and always look forward to a chat when they pop over with their leaflets - mad as a box of frogs obviously but very patient people!

what's the open mic scene like? poetry? i have always wanted to do this in ldn so might try it?

very well said

as a londoner from birth and someone just a year younger than u, this captured a truth and sentiment that resonates massively, i don't think the UK is gonna fall apart buts its not in a good state and i just think we need to work together towards enactment, and positive projects

QPR mentioned waheyy

If you are living in ultra elitist and affluent neighbourhoods like Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Mayfair and even other just very affluent parts like Chiswick, Hampstead etc, you can definitely feel socially isolated if you are not from a higher social class as I am not. I used to live in a bedsit in Belsize Park as that was all I could afford in the area and because my cousin lived nearby. But growing up in a council estate in Manchester and then moving there, I didnt feel connected to very many people there apart from my cousin, who grew up in London, as I moved to Manchester as a 4 year old kid before moving back as an adult.

I went back to Manchester last week to visit family. Whilst I was there, I walked through the Manchester Arndale Centre and the visceral hatred I had for the place was far worse than when I left. It was full of corperate chains and thousands of people chaotically running around that were completely disconnected from each other and disconnected from myself.

At first I thought this was an interview being done in the mid 1980s due how the video has obviously been edited and the lighting also. It actually adds to the experience of watching a modern video that looks 40 years in the past. Maybe there is some nostalgia coming through and thus the video looking old actually merges with the content creators idea.

whats ur IG

Yes,I often think youth culture can’t keep up with youth ‘reality’

Great talk. Ive been pissing around with a esom with magic lantern, trying to get 14bit raw working etc. Im not a tech guy and all that ive managed to do is absolutely nothing. It all gets in the way. Im just gonna grab my 80d and shoot something!

I dont often comment, but I felt compelled. You’ve tapped into something very special and its just not highlighted enough when we talk about the miserable decay of the UK. I urge you to keep making content with your calm jovial spirit as this made me feel not just comforted but heard. Community pubs here in my city are a lifeline for me, and they are struggling. Yet the cadence and accuracy in the way you describe the importance of community made me feel hope, and brightened my evening much like a thriving community does ! Wish you all the best.

Dont forget no end of Turkish barbers

Thanks, I really appreciated hearing this! It's my second year in London and I have felt rather lost, but also came to similar realisations

Hey dude, really like your vibe and energy, just subscribed.

This is Tennyson Road in Hanwell isn't it? Would recognise this anywhere I'm Ealing born and bred.

You're incredibly well spoken. 100% agree as well, this is a countrywide problem something needs to be done but I doubt it will.

Many things that cannot be said, nor noticed about this.

Brit to Brit, never stop this calm style of content, I was so surprised to see how little subs you have, this will certainly blow up soon.

Watch 80s TV shows to see the ubiquity of pubs. Eastenders, Only Fools abd Horses, The Bill...

Community comes from a common purpose. In the past, third place such as the pub or church was because the people who frequented it were there because they shared a common purpose. For instance a shared belief system or a shared place of work (and I don't just mean "the same office buildings area" I mean mines, large infrastructure projects, steel works and so on). There is not going to be some kind of lasting grassroots revival of the "third place", no matter how much people will it, unless there are drastic changes in the economy. Changes which frankly, there is little incentive for existing power holders to implement, not to mention that there would be little consensus on what changes should be made. UK is buggered, just admit it

What is the reason *why* people would use community centers? In the past, did people use community centers *because* they wanted to foster a community, or did they do it for other reasons, and the *community* was a side effect? Riddle me that

Pink Floyd and gizzard, great taste - the kexp magma and iron lung versions are incredible

2007 smoking ban bludgeoned the pubs 😢

Genuinely interesting document…said as a Londoner.

I’m not even from london but I’ve gotten into some interesting circles within london you just have to be a little accepting of the weird

I have now officially lived in London for 25 years ironically and been visiting family here since the 1980s<< its now become a shadow of the city i used to know<< the real community is non-existent, most people are out for themselves, friendships are ever more increasingly difficult to make in London because no one has time for you<< its more overcrowded, overpriced, over-dirty, more polluted, more crime, more tension, more unfriendly, more homeless, more mentally ill people walking our streets who should be looked after by the care of our national health system as opposed to being a danger to themselves and the general public and finally its become more stressful and exhausting to live here due to our lovely government for allowing illegal immigrants to reside here, eating away at all our resources including our welfare, taxes, housing and nhs<< all things that should have been top and first priority for those who have been born and bread here regardless of colour and creed respectfully(Charity starts at home young-man) the rest iam sure you can read between the lines ?? Fortunately iam self employed, travel a-lot and will be officially getting the hell out of it sooner rather than later( but my apologies) for my over extended rant<< you do seem like a nice lad and i wish you all the very best in all your endeavours 🙏👍

Nice, cheers from Lisbon 🇵🇹

So I Guess This is It had vocals a little low at some point, at least compared to the guitar, but Buongiorno Straniero seems to have that fixed

Central London at night is beautiful. Completely empty. You can enjoy it's majesty. The only problem is it's dark & everything is closed 😁

It's a very oppressive and packed city, agree with your points, great video

what camera is tht

average not just bikes viewer

I believe you. You can do it.

so inspiring. Shows how architecture and city planning can represent how oppressed we have become. What we can do to change this. Art. Artistic buildings, public spaces and homes. Bring back 3rd spaces. Not everything has to be work or home.

I like when youtube recommends these small upcoming channels. Subscribed!

I couldn't deal with it myself :) but it's not like much of this country is too far away from the same.. just maybe not to the same degree, or with so many issues that tightly consolidated, it really is like the super compressed yet totally dominant "micro"cosm of the uk. You know with.. how the whole world is heading that these problems will only get worse.... (I hope not but, well... trends and agenda's)

I stopped, listening after you said you want commie blocks built
