HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2024
- I returned to London to check out the most dangerous and roughest areas in the city however this time I came to Tottenham, this area in north London has a notorious reputation. That being said I came anyway and was shown around by the locals @TeaAndCrumpets who shown me many sides to Tottenham, the good and the bad.
Is this London's most dangerous area? Let's find out!
Huge thanks to @TeaAndCrumpets once again! Go check out their page.

Pleasure working with you mate 🔥🔥
yes Jay!! legend thank you once again
How much did he pay you? He’s a cheap ass you know. Even his girl says so
Thx for your insight and keeping Ben alive! Lol
@@chad-bf7zi Are you passing judgement on someone for traveling the world on a budget?
@@JB50713 🤣🤣🤣
What is it with people from London claiming there are ghettos. A council flat paid for by the government is not a ghetto.
A ghetto is just a poor area filled with mostly minorities.
@@scubahooduk you can give them new build luxury flats as social tenants - london does - and they will still turn the neighbourhood into a third world shithole. non-europeans create non-european outcomes.
What makes it ghetto then?
It turns into one and generally the surrounding area
you don't really know by definition what a ghetto is though.
definition= a poor urban area occupied primarily by a minority group or groups
I love when the woman said "I'm a historian" with such a proud look on her face
This man talking about Tottenham like it's the wild west absolute fakeness
The only reason it is dangerous is because the police lets them get away with it.
You’re dumb
The amount of police won’t fix the problems that lead to crime
@@JamesSmith-ny2gb obviously not a magical solution... but police actively patrolling areas known to be dangerous would be the right thing to do. Clearly some people want these areas to be controlled by gangs.
@JamesSmith-ny2gb and what are those? We all know the truth
💯 facts drive in around passing sweetie packages out off car 🚘 ! And the police 👮♂️ don’t stop them!
That vendor from Afghanistan was such a lovely guy. Couldn't have been any nicer.
🇦🇫 🙏🏼
I like he saying " Life is Hard, we have to be harder "
❤
Is he Christian
The nicest Afghans are only to be found in........Afghanistan.
Oh well, Tottenham what do you expect. Lived in London all my life thankfully not in Tottenham. I remember when it was just an ordinary working class area a bit rough but nothing like this. I wouldn't allow my shadow to venture there now. What a dump all caused by the people who have taken over the area.
It's been a shithole for 45 yearS
SH1THOLE
It’s the lack of funding and closing of social spaces 😴 oh dear!
@@Ditch_Head if that was the case, other areas would also be this dangerous. London boroughs get more money then the average area,it comes down to the people wanting their area to be like this.
You guys are so dramatic sometimes. It's a little dodgy but nowhere near as bad as you're describing it. It's hardly bloody Detroit.
The grass has likely been left uncut for a month for what's called 'No Mow May' to help bees and insects, I think it looks nicer with flowers and longer grass anyway.
Notice how all these “most dangerous hoods” videos are all in the daytime and nothing ever happens? Go on a Saturday at 1:00am.
yeah that's anywhere when everyone is drunk or tweaking
That's kind of the point. If you're trying to score heroin at 3:30 in the morning you might come to a bad end. If you walk around in the daytime there's nothing to be afraid of.
@@HavingaSHOCKER He's a poverty tourism, clickbaiter
@@61hink no that isn’t the point at all, his videos don’t really show what the‘most dangerous hoods’ are truly like, it’s diluted cos he and others darent go there at night.
Why would they go out at night?
As someone whos lived there for 8 years, and im actually the age of all these people committing the crimes, i can confirm that it actually is THAT bad. I see all these videos saying that its all love and positivity when i know from experience its not
Thanks, some honesty, not all lovey-dovey bs
Sometimes people just go to work and come back home. They go out for drinks on the weekend and get a cab back home. Teenagers who grow up around there usually have a different perspective.
Interesting stuff as usual. I also remember the Broadwater Farm riots in 1985 with the killing of PC Keith Blakelock.
Great video, grew up in South London (Abbey Wood) myself and it is sad to see many parts of London now neglected to the point they’re forgotten.
But being a Tottenham fan myself and going to Tottenham for the last 20 years - I’ll always have a soft spot for the area.
Hey Ben, if you want to absolutely give someone some money, tell them you want to give them a something for their kids, it's a way to get around the pride/hospitality thing. Love that guy from Afghanistan, what a gent!!
Its terrible whats happening to England and the rest of the U.K, towns and cities left to rot a decay, councils not given enough money to
do the basics, like clean the streets and cut the grass. Its a absolute discrase that the politicians turn a blind eye, and pretend their doing
a good job. The whole country needs overhauling and refurbishing, they done it before just after ww2 in a dire financial situation, they done
it the 60's and 70's and f'ed it up but atleast they tried. They desperately need to find away to do it again now, because the problem isnt
going to go away its going to get worse. This is meant to be G.B, they need to show a lot more pride in their country, from the smallest
council estate to the biggest city.
But then London and a few towns revive there high streets
@@Leojw10
Do you mean, but then London and the other decayed cities and towns in G.B, have to revive their high streets after the
re development to make the economy of those towns and cities sustainable. The answer is yes, and its not easy, but they
have to at least try in my opinion.
The problem is Councils spend money unchecked. Tower Hamlets brings in millions from Canary Wharf alone but there is so much waste on vanity projects that they need to strip it back to basics, focus on essential categories that need Money and deal with the basics of giving good support to life. If there is any money left then go and plant a tree or whatever nonsense wokery sucks cash from the basics. Councils act like small dictator states within a state. It all needs a complete overhaul. £42,855 - £46,053 for an Enforcement officer, this is basically a bod in a Uniform going around fining people for dropping a fag butt. A skilled job for sure paying skilled money, I might apply.
It was worse years ago !
The Problem is corruption
Another banger Ben thank you
You bet
Why are you discvering feared areas in the morning? Go after 10pm
It’ll be like the Thriller video then, for sure 👍
Yes they all sleep in the daytime after a hectic night 🌙, go out after dark mate
Right? He obviously went so early on purpose, no bad boys about before 6pm lol
@_Professor_Oak true its all knifes out 🔪 after 6
Yeah real talk.all these youtubers are full of shit and plan their journeys as safe as possible.therefore not really showing what these areas are really like.all of London is a toilet
The more of these videos I watch, the more depressed I get. Really feels like this country is in the shit sometimes. Crummy looking streets, run down areas, loads of wannabe gangsters. Glad I have very little reason to go to London.
Anybody who lives near a city has at least driven/walked through a place like this before. It's nothing new and nothing exclusive to our country.
Pu$$y like you not welcome in London bruv, stay in your countryside.
what I find concerning is that all the people from the area seem to be saying it's a good place to live? I find that strange, do we have any standards these days?
@@annar6294 most people are always gonna have a soft spot for their home town, despite it's flaws. It could also be a coping mechanism, acting like things are better than they truly are.
no one wants to be a gangster people grow up in estates where theres murders and violence no one wants to be a wanna be
Finalllly we been waiting
Great video Ben. TC is a very wise man. You know what's going on there. All the best mate👍👍 Jim and Harriet
I KNEW the comment's wouldn't let me down, nice to see more people clued up... Kudo's ❤
The comments are high quality. People who actually know the facts, not getting pulled along by some politicians hidden agenda.
During daytime between 9 am and 6 pm you can walk through many dangerous neighborhoods, even here in the US. The shootings and stabbing occur mostly when it gets dark. In Portland where I am currently, the homeless, the addicted, the mentally disturbed and also the dealers and users take over when darkness falls. Make a video in Hazelwood, Portland, Oregon starting at 11 pm.
also there are different sorts of trouble. you got junkies, she just sort of roam around and are generally harmless, the serious gangsters who you would never ever see or even know what they are doing, and then the hoodlums who are basically those 14 year old kids with facial hair cause their testosterone levels are so high they wonder about in platoon, you happen to meet one of them and they are alone, they are usually really nice and sweet and will even smile, but the moment they are with their mates its all 1000 yard stares with their hood up.

Appreciate it pal! Thanks for watching
I was born in Tottenham in 1955 and lived my first 25 years there. I have been married to an Asian for almost 40 years and throughout my life, the majority of my friends have been black or Asian. However, objectively, there is no doubt that the decline in Tottenham is the result of wide-scale immigration. Not the Windrush generation who settled in the Mount Pleasant Road/Black Boy Lane area who were almost without exception law abiding people but it is later generations.
Blaming immigration is an easy conclusion to a complex issue
@@JamesSmith-ny2gb Irrespective of whether it's a simple or complex situation, the fact is the decline was brought on by wide-scale immigration. I know you open-borders supporters don't like facts but you should be ashamed that you are making excuses for anti-social behaviour and criminality.

Cheers pal!
I dread knowing that Dublin, Galway, Cork, Limerick, Belfast, Derry is in for this same grim demographic shift.
Weren’t the Irish some of the biggest immigrant groups in the world?
After the cities, it will be the countryside. It's happening in France; even in remote places in the mountains we are getting "enriched".
This was my thoughts exactly as I started the video. Ireland is next.
It’s londonderry
@@PETERGRIFFIN21380 I can feel the seethe from here. All of the residents call it Derry. It's Derry.
9am on a Saturday morning is possibly the safest time to be out around there! Would love to see you wondering around at 1am on a Thursday!
After 7pm it gets dodgy enough
He would have balls of granite
I like how TC said "I'm filming for my community" 👊🏼💙...I feel he genuinely cares & not for views. More power 🔋 brother 💪🏼
💯
Do the wrong thing to do the right thing! Your “tour” guide hit it spot on!
You got welcomed with open arms by all. Think I’ll head on down there myself after seeing such a welcoming community
u will return with less then you went with and disappointed lol

Brilliant video. Thank you. 🙂
cheers!!
Ben, I live in Tottenham and recognised many of the places that you were taken to by your chaperone. Trust me, Tottenham has its reputation for a reason and it is not getting any better. Have you read the crime stats?
It’s just so sad what’s happened to our once beloved country. Eastern Europe seems like the best bet now.
Fk that.... aha the Eastern Bloc is like the jungle of Europe 🌍🤔😂😂
Then we will see how lucky we are?
@@malcolmhayden-smith1246 You'd be surprised. My mate lived in Lithuania's capital city for a few years and had none of the crime you have in London.
@@malcolmhayden-smith1246Eastern Europe is economically 20 years behind because of communism but culture wise they are superior in every way. The jungle of Europe would be France good luck walking there at night as a woman.
The average Eastern European family seems to have more than an English person…
Great video - Keep It Real ✌️
Appreciate it!
This was a fun show Ben
Think this was my suggestion, love that you actually went there 😂
decent little day out ;)
@@BackpackerBen you should've gone at night, instead of being a wuss. 😂😂
Blessings for all Tottenham and London residents
Ben you made it to Tottenham. Great video fella
Yes mate!! Hope you’re good
Good one Ben!
Went to school in Tottenham, it's run down allot since then. Visited Tottenham hale the other week the regeneration looks nice.
Agree, the 'Heart of Hale' is a breath of fresh air, and I live in Tottenham too.
Christ, the "Know what I mean" brigade are so boring, they think everything they have to say is of high importance... Know what I mean...
Noam sayin
Yeah..... It's quite unbearable. Funny how the worse an area is, the more self-proclaimed "historians/speakers of wisdom/geniuses" etc there are
Innit " bro"
@Gurra_Gforce they are selling their opinions to get a bit of publicity.
And Mandem too
Viewstats shows this is ranked 1/10 for previous 10 posts. Nicely done Ben, great video
Honestly some lovely people, TC is a good guy eh👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love the food looked delicious, just like what my Dad cooked 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great Channel Ben 👍🏼
Cheers for watching!
As someone who was a redhead kid, I don't think I would have thought the game "Knock down Ginger" would be as fun as old mate says. :P
I'm not a redhead, but his comment got me angry. What sort of person or group thinks that knocking down people is a game? Not the sort that should be living in the UK that's for sure. Disgusting individual.
Redheads don't qualify lol
Gingers are rarely targeted anyway, especially when my ginger friend was doing the knocking 😂
The councils don't cut the grass so much anymore all over the UK because the councils are bankrupt and there are major cuts.
Too much welfare bankrupting the whole system.

Nailed it on around the 7 minute mark and he is absolutely right. I never forget many years ago me and a friend from London went on a walk around Plymouth took him to the block house park and he told me that for the size of Plymouth it's crazy how ruff it is and that was around 1998 he said you put all the Plymouths in London it's no different. It's mental
hi , i thought you were local to me , im in southwest Cornwall. This was a great video ❤
I've lived in Tottenham and it's place like any other in London. Croydon and Toothing was worse. Nothing crazy nor supper scary.
Tooting? I know Croydon is quite messy sometimes but never heard of Tooting being a rough place
@@LiClan when I've lived there, Tooting and Mitcham, got stabbing or rapes in local newspaper multiple times per year. Not as rough as in Thornton Heat and Croydon, but still...
Tooting is not worse than northumberland heath, or thornton heath

I was around Tottenham in May 2011 to watch my team (Birmingham City) play. After the game (where there were one or two scuffles) we ended up in some estate nearby where they'd parked our coach.
The coach I was on wasn't a normal fans coach but rather one run by the Zulus, the old school hooligans.
It was fascinating that even in a high crime area like that, that we still needed what must have been 100 police officers just to guard our coach and keep us contained.
What was also fascinating was the reaction of the local especially in the flats, it was like they were amazed at seeing police that weren't looking for THEM.
Theyd have needed 100 old Bill to stop 1 eyed baz if things got naughty. 🙏 Rip
Haha he actually was there that day but was totally chilled out and enjoying the social gathering.
In fact what must have looked like a standoff between the Zulus and the police at one point was simply one bloke explaining that he's a millionaire now and no matter what they think, isn't there for trouble.
