Walking on London's "Little India Street" East Ham High Street, Newham, E.6. (on a hot summer's day)

  • ✓ East Ham is a mixed cultural area, with a majority of South Asians, (but also African / Caribbean and Eastern European resident).
    On the stretch of the High Street recorded in this video there are many, many south Indian cafe type restaurants, eateries, spice & grocery shops.
    There is a large South Indian and Tamil population in and around this area.
    Now it transpires that Atlanta rapper 21 Savage was born in this area of London.
    Well worth visiting is Saravanaa Bhavan; a vegetarian Indian restaurant - it's a magical place where you can eat like a king at very affordable budget prices & the portions are of a good size. (We highly recommend the vegetable Kolapuri with butter Naan: • Vegetable Kola Puri & ... or Rava Kichadi (Upma): • Rava Kichadi (Upma) at... ).
    Video recorded on Wednesday 30th July 2014.

    It’ nice that someone brought this subject to share. It’s not the problem of East Ham or South Hall. It’s our culture, food, way of dressing up, expression of religion, way of talking and many other factors that contribute to label areas like East Ham, Ilford, South Hall as little India or Little Pakistan.
    These labels are not good for us. In the long run after forty fifty years, there will be negative reaction from the native British people. We don’t want to accept better way of living, although we came to this country for a better life.
    We don’t still want to dress up as if we are in our country, talk loudly on the phone in the High street, in the bus or train, people sitting next to us becomes irritated, but don’t say anything out of respect, AND ITS ALL RIGHT, because no one say anything.
    We (not everyone) dump our rubbish often old bed, furniture on the roadside and the person did so will say proudly to himself “I did a great job no one saw me”. If we check his religion, he is very careful about that. He and his family will observe all the rituals with great interest, but he or his family don’t see doing that as wrong thing.
    They do their religion so strongly they have to eat halal, dress halal but yet earning a little bit non halal doesn’t matter, ripping off the local authorities taking various wrongly claimed benefits are halal it doesn’t matter. Similar point applies to so many non Muslims as well living in these high concentrated Asian area. We are really double standard in every respect.
    There’s no one to point out our mistakes, and if any one point it out will be called as racist. As long as this thing go on people will label our area as little India, Lillie Pakistan, little Bangladesh etc and it will not bring anything good for the area.
    We need to educate ourselves and we need to believe we came to this country to have a better life, means living like the wast. Don’t take this note as a hate speech, but think positive

      Your comments is most relevant and logical i have found in this comments section. Most of desi people are just either abusing each other or making fun in the comments which is just sad. Desi people need to be aware of their surrounding while being in public places. They should be mixed with the culture of country they are living in. Instead they form little communities which is completely offensive to the native people of the land. In my opinion uk should just deport back all the desi people out of country and restart the program with strict rules and regulations. Would be more appropriate if they completely shut down immigration from desi countries.

      Thanks. You speak the truth. I was born and raised there before any Asian people came. There is no local culture there anymore. I left years ago. It became so depressing.
      It actually looks nicer in this video than it was last time I saw it about 10 years ago. Too late for the locals who were mostly driven out. The negative behaviours you mention are not obvious from the video.
      I remember a Pakistani shopkeeper telling me 'We will be sorry when all the English have gone'. I don't suppose many feel like him but perhaps you do. Thanks again.

    From 1970 to 2002 I lived in Newham first as a kid in Halley rd in Manor park then years later I lived in Wakefield st, the place has certainly changed since l moved out of London in 2002, for a start it has a lot more people and I recognised about three buildings from when I was a kid to a young man. I guess no one likes change as we get older but that’s the way life is constant change.

    I have lived in this area all my life and to be honest Green street has a higher level of Indian shops than East Ham high street. It's considered to be the spice capital of East London. There are more high street branded shops on high street North (where you filmed this). And the way you're walking, you're getting into the area which is considered Manor park. Interesting video though.

Polish, African, Caribbean, English, Lithuanian, Porteugues, broke ass, vagrants, drug dealers, crack heads, thugs outside the McDonald's, weedheads, screaming kids, It's all in East Ham. The possibilities of being a dead end to no where here is endless. But the best part is, people really want to live here. Great transportation links. Come back now (2018), see how much It's changed; even worse
