Hey Charlie. A bit late finding this but really appreciate you coming over to my city! I’ve been here all my life. Most of London is generally pleasant and safe. You will occasionally find the odd stand alone home or housing complex that looks a bit run down compared to other areas of the city but other than that, it’s a very good place overall. This place is quite tame, even when you compare to some spots of Windsor. Some areas that stand out in terms of “ghetto” would be OEV, the whole Dundas strip, Horton Street area (basically south of the train tracks), Hamilton Road along towards Highbury, a portion of east London which includes Argyle and Trafalgar area, Limberlost, Kipps Lane, Millbank, King Edward, Hilton, Boulee, and possibly a few more. Nothing is crazy run down here. However, I wouldn’t fear your life in London. Ignore the crackheads downtown at night and you’ll most likely be fine
Great Comment, I agree with most of what youre saying, even our bad areas really arent that bad, I also think East of adelaide is no where near as bad as it used to be. once you hit east of highbury there are so many good neighbourhoods and most of the dundas problems are gone by highbury. Lots of new builds out that way as well.
Having lived in that area for 10 years and my sister for 25 I can assure you that even though the houses are old in that part of town, it’s not a bad place.
@@gasNmudtvpart you live in? Im in the east end near actually where he showed in the video Im a 10 min walk from rays and the Tim’s on ham. The place is riddled with homelessness and drugs/drug paraphernalia are everywhere it’s honestly disgusting
Ever had the police say you’re a fugitive evading the law because London police are too retarded to fact check their own bullshit? Or have them show up a month later to breaking and entering while you’re passed out, London is a shit hole, it used to be good, until the liberals put their guy in parliament.
I agree, I would say majority of the "hoods" in london you can walk alone at night. I would still want to be mindful and not have any headphones in just in case, but even our "hoods" arent horrible. Worst I have had was being hassled by a couple kids
Surprised it took so long to see a comment like this. Although the nature of the other comments is as if they just expected he was taking a joy ride in Canada. Nothing here looks anything like a hood. Nothing in Canada does. It's clean and utilized everywhere.
I think with London, and specifically this neighborhood, many of these wartime houses popped up during WWII. You see this in most larger cities where army bases are nearby. This one isn’t actually too bad. Hamilton has a very depressed area we drove through not too long ago. Sad to see. This area of London, it appears that many have tried to fix the places up. I see lots of new siding and some pride in the space. Thanks for the tour
yup a lot of the older wartime homes in london have been done super well inside, just maybe not as much on the outside. some neighbourhoods are really changing for the better
Love seeing charlie going to Canada, next time you head to seattle you gotta cross the border and go to vancouver and record east Hastings street exactly like LA skid row and Philadelphia's kensington
if youre ever in ontario again, check out oshawa. I'm from the downtown area and its gotten pretty rough. Would be cool to see it get a showcase. Good work as always brother!
What a trip seeing this pop up from Charlie.....I grew up here, left over 10 years ago now. Next you should come to Winnipeg. The abandoned and burnt out places are getting worse and worse...I'll probably try to document it myself sometime. Stay safe!
I saw two buildings that were boarded up. One of them was probably an old hotel that was beyond repair. Every house is occupied unlike cities like Detroit or Baltimore where you can see street after street of dozens of houses boarded up or just abandoned. Also, it is not suicidal to go out at night.
That is exatly what I had been saying. That's all it is, is the age. There is literally nothing wrong with it, even those with family there saying. They are old, yet with total upkeep because of how it's all in fine shape.
Well, that stretch usually is quite more hood than what it shows in this video. There is a large homeless presence up and down both sides of this street, and this is where most of the street walkers are in town too. The "housing projects" are spread all over the city here. They make a concerted effort not to allow too much poverty in one place.
London doesn’t have really run down areas, just sporadic houses that might look rough. Older parts of town are pretty clean and well kept. How do I know? I live here!
Would you recommend me visiting London, or Toronto? I’m from the US and was thinking about taking the train from Windsor to Toronto. But London would be such a shorter ride. What would be more worth it, in your opinion? Toronto would also cost a lot more.
@@benjamen4127 Both cities are nice but Toronto has much more to do. It depends on what you are looking for. If you want sightseeing go to Toronto. Shopping too. London is more laid back, no real sights to see, there is shopping but it is not the best. (Toronto is pricey but so is everywhere! Make it worth your while)
yup I agree, even if you pick the MOST dangerous area I dont think you will really run into problems. that being said I personally would want to avoid dundas toward downtown as much as possible just incase lol
THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE HOODS HERE IN lONDON.. damn dude show the real hood, homeless ppl in tents, the downtown core, the housing projects.. you showed the east village wish is beautiful the old houses very nice to walk around in.. .. i was very very disappontent by this video
Been watching your channel for years now N I can’t believe you can to My city !! I moved here from windsor, in December of ‘92 N boy Had it changed so much !!!
Beautiful little city, London, Ontario. Got a lot of family history there. Canada is like the Old Country to me. That's where all my French, German and Irish ancestors landed after their Atlantic crossing from Europe, couple hundred years ago. Charlie couldn't even find a Canadian alley...maybe 8n the bigger cities. Thanx for the nice vid, Charlie!
@Ryan Stapleton none taken. I dont live there. Although "dump" seems a little out of context...you have seen some of the places Charlie's gone to, right? Lol
Missed the actually rough areas tbh, like some strips on Dundas St. Although the areas im thinking are more rampant homelessness/crime areas so idk if that counts as "hood"? I do deliveries all over, London is weird in that the shitty parts are super concentrated into single blocks and buildings. The areas shown here are actually where I feel relived to be in after going thru sketchier areas lol. I'm a bit annoyed at the comments here tho, people seem to think London is doing better than it is imo cause the areas that are actually disturbing are unseen- theres no reason to go there if you arent a junkie or forced to for work. All that being said I dont usually feel in direct danger cause most people mind their own business and wont bother you if you are too. Theres not a ton of guns but theres pretty regular stabbings
I disagree that there is no reason to go to london, I have been meeting a lot of young entrepreneurs who grew up in london trying to bring better food and stops here. They work really hard to help provide nicer stuff for the community. I will say I do agree dundas is horrible on the way to downtown it almost feels like another city in that area compared to the rest of london,
@@SpencerGatten Compared to Stratford, London looks very sketchy to me in some parts. I feel a little bit disquieting and uneasy when I'm in the older areas. London is not a stranger to gun crimes and shootings and van attacks.
@@PunchBuggyDreams I am in stratford all the time. They have some areas that look similar. The age of the area also isnt the problem some of the worst areas where build in the 80s and 90s and the nicer areas built 80-100 years ago. Gun crime is extremely low and the last incidents we had were people coming in from Toronto to cause trouble. I would certainly say we are indeed strangers to van attacks. What have we had, one?
@@SpencerGatten Seriously dude? How bout around June 6, 2021 when a 20 year old douchebag ran down 2 women a man and a 15 year old girl. They were mowed down by him in a black truck. A 9 year old boy from the family was also run down but survived. It was a premeditated attack on this Muslim family just walking down a sidewalk on Hyde Park Rd, London, Ont. in the afternoon. The killer was wearing body armor. The attack was deemed a terroristic act against Muslims. And for the record, Stfd has no areas like London. Yeah sure a few older unkept homes maybe.
@@PunchBuggyDreams And that attack that you are referring too happened in the so called, "Uptown London" area of Hyde Park. Not downtown or EOA or OVE.
I grew up on Ontario Street, near the fair, close to where you were driving. It was tuff as a kid, but it made me strong. I know some of my old friends weren’t so lucky.
You probably thinking of Leamington, Ontario. I’ve lived in both cities, suburbs of Cleveland and London, Ontario. This is an old part of London, the suburbs are much more modern. My dog came from a kennel in Akron, Ohio.
Very small part of London, I use to have a 24 hour business on Hamilton Road and it wasn’t scary in the slightest Cleveland on the other hand is scary. Still have a few restaurants I like to go to on Dundas east and Hamilton Road.
@@gerhardk98 Yeah Cleveland is extremely scary even for me. I currently reside in the heart of Cleveland. A majority if not all American cities are scary compared to thier Canadian counterparts Chicago/Toronto New York/ Montreal Minneapolis/Winnipeg Denver/Calgary Vancouver/ Seattle .
my grandmother lived across from that boarded up blue and red building at 0:38. Used to be a bank way back, then a convinient store when I was a kid. Despite being less than 50ft from the police station she was broken into 3 times in her 8 years living there. Most of whats past 4:00 is fairly safe though.
I like it how it's only been 2 minutes since Charlie uploaded this video and already 9 people liked it when the video has a time length of 8:12. True Charliebo313 fans will instantly like a video they see
Also surprised by how you travel from country to country. I can only imagine the distance and time to travel From Mexico to Canada. Thank you for the kind uploads by showing us these neighborhoods I would've never known they existed. I used to live in the ghetto. They all may be ghetto hoods, but each has its own unique community of amazing people and the building structures are always interesting and have a history behind them. Bless you Charlie and stay safe as always brother
There is a delay in the views and like counter...it's a programming thing as it results in less bottleneck and slowdowns. Same reason comments only load when you scroll towards it.
Having grown up in London I will tell you there's no ghettos there. There's crappy areas but not bad ones. The ghetto areas in the states would eat London ghettos alive.
Never thought I'd see my hometown here. This is just some old areas a bit run down but Soho is probably the most rundown part of London. There are also some pretty rough housing complexes in other areas such as king Edward, Cleveland Ave, h block area, pond Mills, Milbank, limberlost, Hilton ave etc
So interestingly enough, King edward has a horrible rep but its really been turning around, most of the apartments have been bought in the last 5 years and they are starting renovations and better management. Still lots of work to be done though
I grew up there in the 70’s and 80’s. There are much worse neighborhoods in London than these. Try any low rental income townhouse neighborhoods. I grew up in a really rough neighborhood and it was depressing. I was there last year and there were tents everywhere downtown. It was sad to see. Although, I had many great memories there!
One of the last streets (Blocks) at he turned left on to "Dufferin Ave" is one of those really nice streets in a maybe questionable area. Nicely maintained large old houses with huge trees.
ya thats the interesting thing about london, one street can be brutal but it can be one block away from beautiful old victorian homes modern renovations done well.
If you ever come through Edmonton, hit up 118th ave, 107th ave, City Center, China Town, McCauley, Boyle street. It's always been bad but its gotten a lot worse over here. Gangs, drugs, random violence and killings are out of control. The kids are out of control. And it's Zombieland. We got a new Rogers arena and a couple of the tallest skyscrapers in Western Canada built right in the middle of it all. Directly behind the arena there's a soup kitchen with a little tent city. Before the Pandemic the tents weren't out there. But it's become so bad that pretty much all of downtown is tent city.
@K.M.V S it's absolutely criminal what landlords charge now. My old apartment is almost triple what it used to be. Glad I moved out and bought real estate.
Melhor que os estados unidos é muito mais limpo admiro limpeza da cidade igual japão questão de limpeza vc não ver tantos lixos nas ruas não tem casas abandonada mais tem muitos buracos só isso rachadura mais de resto otimo salve do brasil🇧🇷 no meu pais tem alguns cidades que são limpas
This video goes to show just because you are "lower class" it doesn't mean you have to make your environment dangerous. Taking care of your block and having a well-functioning society without drugs or violent gangs. people can still be happy living even during short comings. It's just too bad America every lower-class area has to be associated with higher crimes.
It may be "working class" but the drugs and poverty have still ravaged our community as well. Ppl suffering from mental health and addiction struggles are usually in large numbers up and down Hamilton rd. and other streets in London. Having a community and a government that shows compassion and provides Healthcare and social programs to try and help our vulnerable population out from the death grips of this cycle is the difference. Eventhough we might have these programs and such, we still could do so much more for our vulnerable population.
Everything look so clean and not abandoned that the states can’t definitely keep in place. For a guy living in the suburbs, I’m actually jealous of that living.
I live in this city and it is a far far far cry from the cities I have seen in the US. This area is east London and very low prices, low crime, and quite nice (near the river) if this is a ghetto in London Ontario Canada then it shows how fantastic we are doing compared to the USA. The areas shown are peaceful, clean, no guns, and a great place to raise kids on a low income. FAR FAR from a ghetto. CANADA ROCKS!!!!
@@philster6383 to me this looks a lot like many hoods in America I think people just trying to say it looks better because it’s Canada. Truth is a lot of places look just like this tbh.
As a London native they don’t really have a “true hood” however they do have lots of rough areas and the drug issue is really bad stuff you’d see similar to in San Francisco

Charlie Bos! welcome to London! Driving in the London East working class neighbourhood! Do you see how so many buildings are like the destroyed ones you see in Detroit? Detroit makes me sad because if those buildings had survived you can see what a pleasant living area it would be. Detroiters deserve so much better! Happy you came!
Good thing about London they are trying to revitalize these areas and basically have no choice the city is growing and need housing and retail to go with it, but it's a slow process.
I love you consider any of this the hood. Just older homes in older neighborhoods. Funny things those houses cost close to $500k cnd if not close to it. And you will rarley find abandond properties, lots or garbage everywhere like in hood neighborhoods like detroit. Yes you will get the house where its renters that dont give to Fs and maintain property but it ls not gangs on corners, drugs and shootings. Just like here in Peterborough London is very similiar where there is one block that has bad reputation due to a few bad incidents but most people are hard working individuals, even alot of younger people that are first time home buyers can get better deals.
I have lived in this city for years, there are some fairly dangerous "hoods" here but not like the United States, in Canadian we can't carry firearms, it makes it a bit more difficult
Erna, the problem isn't the asphalt as much in this area is we are built on sand and in winter the water in the sand heaves up the road surface and leaves cracking!
I have a daughter there and I. Can'belive this is now her home. Maybe they are worse in other cities but this is where she is. 9 years not knowing what's going. On or if she's alive.
Grew up in London and have now lived in Beijing China for 16 years raising my family here. Looking at this I couldn't imagine moving back to LONdon... especially not the South or East end... shudders...
I live in this area, in fact you drove right by my house. The area itself is fine. It was better a few years ago, but the houses and families in this area are fine. Hamilton Rd. is where the local flavour is. The neighbourhood itself is fine,
And as big of a fan as i am of yours charlie i have to agree with alot of the comments here. U did miss alot of the worst spots in london and kinda made it look better then it actually is. Should do a little more research so u can show the real story
I'm from Windsor. I've been to London many times. London is not bad at all. If u want to see bad, go to Southwest Detroit, Detroit's Eastside, Pontiac, or Flint Michigan. Hell, just go anywhere in Chicago these days.
Charlie you got to swing by king Edward , Hilton , limbo, Marconi, vine wood , Kipps lane ,boullee & h block while you are London there is a lot to see!
Too bad you didn't make a left turn at the first light you stopped at. That's the 'downtown ghetto" and you drove right past it. There's a few other areas you could have cruised past... Kipp's Lane/ Country Lane, Limberlost, Millbank Drive... A few of the tent encampments by the riverbank. You missed most of the really desperate areas of town.
@@SpencerGatten Clark and Trafalgar is still a show these days. So happy my friend moved out of that area. I don't have to go anywhere near Clarke any more lol I lived on Marconi for six months and was almost shot from a stray bullet through my apartment door in the 90s. Moved out of there pretty quickly lol
@@SpencerGatten like the Hamilton and Egerton/rectory st. area. Then the old hospital area is terrible and support getto at night. Then Dundas around second Street area and heading towards Clark Rd. That's just that section of the city. 😆
London Ontario is probably one of the safer cities to live in, even though it has the hood in the city, but then again every major big city has a hood in it it’s safer to live in any city in Canada even Toronto than America America in a hood you would just get shot robbed in the hood. It’s more friendlier.
@@kylephillip6433 I've lived in Winnipeg, and the worst thing about Winnipeg is that it is cold. Not much to complain about otherwise lol It is far prettier and cleaner than Louisville or Indianapolis (which I've lived in), or any other big American city I've seen
The second clip is Adelaide St at Dundas near the cop shop. It's my daily route to work. Never encounter any problems other than the occasional panhandler on the traffic medium. Much safer than most bigger American cities.
Oh c'mon that is no "hood" [I live in Detroit but my particular area is pretty safe] I have been to London, just for airshows though so have never seen most of the city. Can't get into Canada anymore, last time I tried for a friends wedding in Chatham they had me tagged as an outlaw biker and told me to turn around and don't come back.
It really is. If this guy thinks London Ontario has "hoods", he would be crapping his pants at seeing the bombed-out ghettoes of south Chicago or west Philadelphia lol
Yeah it isn't, at all. It in fact is not a hood at all. It's just older areas. The same places that in the US would end up like a third worl hell hole, but here are still maintaineded and quite fine actually because it isn't a "hood" at all.
Not a hood just old houses on quiet streets, clean no hangouts and no grafitti. This is how most of london looked like in the 60s and 70s. There were no rich neibourhoods back then eveyone lived much the same.
My hometown, I dont say this with pride haha. Next time, go down Dundas street Between Quebac street and Downtown. Its freaky, especially the back laneways behind Dundas street
@@philster6383 Freaks is an understatement here. Me and buddies have named some on the North end of downtown, Tweaker reaper, to Crackie Chan. London has them all
@K.M.V.S idk if it's one of the most run down, I can think of plenty that are in worse shape than "The Forest City" but ya, I agree, everything is nicer on this side of the border. Added bonus = We've had 2 mass shootings in our Country's history (2 too many) How many in America this yr alone? 🤔

All that being said I dont usually feel in direct danger cause most people mind their own business and wont bother you if you are too. Theres not a ton of guns but theres pretty regular stabbings
I disagree that there is no reason to go to london, I have been meeting a lot of young entrepreneurs who grew up in london trying to bring better food and stops here. They work really hard to help provide nicer stuff for the community. I will say I do agree dundas is horrible on the way to downtown it almost feels like another city in that area compared to the rest of london,
@@SpencerGatten Compared to Stratford, London looks very sketchy to me in some parts. I feel a little bit disquieting and uneasy when I'm in the older areas. London is not a stranger to gun crimes and shootings and van attacks.
@@PunchBuggyDreams I am in stratford all the time. They have some areas that look similar. The age of the area also isnt the problem some of the worst areas where build in the 80s and 90s and the nicer areas built 80-100 years ago. Gun crime is extremely low and the last incidents we had were people coming in from Toronto to cause trouble. I would certainly say we are indeed strangers to van attacks. What have we had, one?
@@SpencerGatten Seriously dude? How bout around June 6, 2021 when a 20 year old douchebag ran down 2 women a man and a 15 year old girl. They were mowed down by him in a black truck. A 9 year old boy from the family was also run down but survived. It was a premeditated attack on this Muslim family just walking down a sidewalk on Hyde Park Rd, London, Ont. in the afternoon. The killer was wearing body armor. The attack was deemed a terroristic act against Muslims. And for the record, Stfd has no areas like London. Yeah sure a few older unkept homes maybe.
@@PunchBuggyDreams And that attack that you are referring too happened in the so called, "Uptown London" area of Hyde Park. Not downtown or EOA or OVE.
I was here once, got mugged. But he wwas polite, he said " sorry, eh I'm gonna have to ask for your wallet... sorry bud "
The hoods in Montreal are mostly in Montreal North. There’s also Amabaie in the West Island. Point Saint Charles can get a little sketchy too
Nobody afraid to walk anywhere in London at any time of the day.
And that's the way a civilized community should be, eh 🇨🇦
I agree
I grew up on Ontario Street, near the fair, close to where you were driving.
It was tuff as a kid, but it made me strong. I know some of my old friends weren’t so lucky.
It just looks like an older part of town. Pretty well kept and not looking like my definition of a hood to me.
Looks like Cleveland. Makes sense because the closes large city to Cleveland across the northern shore of Lake Erie is London Ontario.
London is at least 20 miles from the lake. It's a university city. Has been for a long time.
@@robertshank8412 Yeah that's close.
You probably thinking of Leamington, Ontario. I’ve lived in both cities, suburbs of Cleveland and London, Ontario. This is an old part of London, the suburbs are much more modern. My dog came from a kennel in Akron, Ohio.
Very small part of London, I use to have a 24 hour business on Hamilton Road and it wasn’t scary in the slightest Cleveland on the other hand is scary. Still have a few restaurants I like to go to on Dundas east and Hamilton Road.
@@gerhardk98 Yeah Cleveland is extremely scary even for me. I currently reside in the heart of Cleveland. A majority if not all American cities are scary compared to thier Canadian counterparts Chicago/Toronto
New York/ Montreal Minneapolis/Winnipeg Denver/Calgary Vancouver/ Seattle .
my grandmother lived across from that boarded up blue and red building at 0:38. Used to be a bank way back, then a convinient store when I was a kid. Despite being less than 50ft from the police station she was broken into 3 times in her 8 years living there. Most of whats past 4:00 is fairly safe though.
Today I learned that H&R Block is in Canada.
😂 yup, we even have a couple Carl Jr's, Applebee's and Starbucks.
The opening footage with the Kit-Kat variety was literally a 45 second walk from the house I grew up in (Raywood ave)
I like it how it's only been 2 minutes since Charlie uploaded this video and already 9 people liked it when the video has a time length of 8:12. True Charliebo313 fans will instantly like a video they see
Of course
Also surprised by how you travel from country to country. I can only imagine the distance and time to travel From Mexico to Canada. Thank you for the kind uploads by showing us these neighborhoods I would've never known they existed. I used to live in the ghetto. They all may be ghetto hoods, but each has its own unique community of amazing people and the building structures are always interesting and have a history behind them. Bless you Charlie and stay safe as always brother
You ever had civiche with the boys after tennis?
That's what all the cool kids are doing "allegedly"
There is a delay in the views and like counter...it's a programming thing as it results in less bottleneck and slowdowns. Same reason comments only load when you scroll towards it.
Having grown up in London I will tell you there's no ghettos there. There's crappy areas but not bad ones. The ghetto areas in the states would eat London ghettos alive.
so what? the ghettos in the carribean would eat the american ones alive
@@killa2345 are you from the carribean?
Never thought I'd see my hometown here. This is just some old areas a bit run down but Soho is probably the most rundown part of London. There are also some pretty rough housing complexes in other areas such as king Edward, Cleveland Ave, h block area, pond Mills, Milbank, limberlost, Hilton ave etc
Pond mills is the wild west lol place is bonkers
Agreed with you
So interestingly enough, King edward has a horrible rep but its really been turning around, most of the apartments have been bought in the last 5 years and they are starting renovations and better management. Still lots of work to be done though
I grew up there in the 70’s and 80’s. There are much worse neighborhoods in London than these. Try any low rental income townhouse neighborhoods. I grew up in a really rough neighborhood and it was depressing. I was there last year and there were tents everywhere downtown. It was sad to see. Although, I had many great memories there!
One of the last streets (Blocks) at he turned left on to "Dufferin Ave" is one of those really nice streets in a maybe questionable area. Nicely maintained large old houses with huge trees.
ya thats the interesting thing about london, one street can be brutal but it can be one block away from beautiful old victorian homes modern renovations done well.
I live downtown! Hey from London Charlie I always dreamed you’d come here. My new fave video homie⭐️😁🙏
how do you like living downtown, do you feel like you have access to a lot of amenities?
If you ever come through Edmonton, hit up 118th ave, 107th ave, City Center, China Town, McCauley, Boyle street. It's always been bad but its gotten a lot worse over here. Gangs, drugs, random violence and killings are out of control. The kids are out of control. And it's Zombieland. We got a new Rogers arena and a couple of the tallest skyscrapers in Western Canada built right in the middle of it all. Directly behind the arena there's a soup kitchen with a little tent city. Before the Pandemic the tents weren't out there. But it's become so bad that pretty much all of downtown is tent city.
Get off my lawn EH! please? Thank you! Love Canada!!!!!
Wow, beautiful heritage architecture. Well kept. You guys must be rich there.
@K.M.V S it's absolutely criminal what landlords charge now. My old apartment is almost triple what it used to be. Glad I moved out and bought real estate.
Working class area.
The best part of growing up in Gundon Ontario is that I'll never get home sick. A forest city? Hell it has more utility poles than trees.
LOL yeah the whole area was deforested years ago for farms and parkinglots
Melhor que os estados unidos é muito mais limpo admiro limpeza da cidade igual japão questão de limpeza vc não ver tantos lixos nas ruas não tem casas abandonada mais tem muitos buracos só isso rachadura mais de resto otimo salve do brasil🇧🇷 no meu pais tem alguns cidades que são limpas
This video goes to show just because you are "lower class" it doesn't mean you have to make your environment dangerous. Taking care of your block and having a well-functioning society without drugs or violent gangs. people can still be happy living even during short comings. It's just too bad America every lower-class area has to be associated with higher crimes.
This is working class. That's why all the driveways are empty. Everybody's at work.
It may be "working class" but the drugs and poverty have still ravaged our community as well. Ppl suffering from mental health and addiction struggles are usually in large numbers up and down Hamilton rd. and other streets in London. Having a community and a government that shows compassion and provides Healthcare and social programs to try and help our vulnerable population out from the death grips of this cycle is the difference. Eventhough we might have these programs and such, we still could do so much more for our vulnerable population.
If u ever come back hmu ill take on a more detailed detour of the hoods of London ont ...lived out here for 29 years
Everything look so clean and not abandoned that the states can’t definitely keep in place. For a guy living in the suburbs, I’m actually jealous of that living.
you would want pay 700,000$+ for that 🤣🤣🤣
I live in this city and it is a far far far cry from the cities I have seen in the US. This area is east London and very low prices, low crime, and quite nice (near the river) if this is a ghetto in London Ontario Canada then it shows how fantastic we are doing compared to the USA. The areas shown are peaceful, clean, no guns, and a great place to raise kids on a low income. FAR FAR from a ghetto. CANADA ROCKS!!!!
@@philster6383 Canada sucks
@@philster6383 to me this looks a lot like many hoods in America I think people just trying to say it looks better because it’s Canada. Truth is a lot of places look just like this tbh.
For me it just looks cleaner . Not as much trash and shit in the streets up here
As a London native they don’t really have a “true hood” however they do have lots of rough areas and the drug issue is really bad stuff you’d see similar to in San Francisco

What have you seen of Ukraine so far?

Me too ❤
Charlie Bos! welcome to London! Driving in the London East working class neighbourhood! Do you see how so many buildings are like the destroyed ones you see in Detroit? Detroit makes me sad because if those buildings had survived you can see what a pleasant living area it would be. Detroiters deserve so much better! Happy you came!
I like the vintage and antique buildings and the beautiful church.
Good thing about London they are trying to revitalize these areas and basically have no choice the city is growing and need housing and retail to go with it, but it's a slow process.
I live high burry Dundas and trust me I definitely wouldn’t go out at night alone or without some sort of protection
I love you consider any of this the hood. Just older homes in older neighborhoods. Funny things those houses cost close to $500k cnd if not close to it. And you will rarley find abandond properties, lots or garbage everywhere like in hood neighborhoods like detroit. Yes you will get the house where its renters that dont give to Fs and maintain property but it ls not gangs on corners, drugs and shootings. Just like here in Peterborough London is very similiar where there is one block that has bad reputation due to a few bad incidents but most people are hard working individuals, even alot of younger people that are first time home buyers can get better deals.
As a Londoner, I approve this message 😂
You pass my house lol, you should go down City Plaza lol, look how the people are cooking down there
Thanks for finally coming to my home town. Hope u had a good time wile u were here bro. Bin watching your videos for years now
ya its cool to be able to see london represented
My dad used to first settle in London when he came to Canada in 1983.
I have lived in this city for years, there are some fairly dangerous "hoods" here but not like the United States, in Canadian we can't carry firearms, it makes it a bit more difficult
I still don't understand how the asphalt in Canada and the US is so bad
Erna, the problem isn't the asphalt as much in this area is we are built on sand and in winter the water in the sand heaves up the road surface and leaves cracking!
@@giclat1098 now I get it
ice and snow
I have a daughter there and I. Can'belive this is now her home. Maybe they are worse in other cities but this is where she is. 9 years not knowing what's going. On or if she's alive.
Grew up in London and have now lived in Beijing China for 16 years raising my family here. Looking at this I couldn't imagine moving back to LONdon... especially not the South or East end... shudders...
They have such friendly hoods.

Great video as always Charlie. I hope you stay safe ♥️👍
I live in this area, in fact you drove right by my house. The area itself is fine. It was better a few years ago, but the houses and families in this area are fine. Hamilton Rd. is where the local flavour is. The neighbourhood itself is fine,
Visit Hamilton ON next!
And as big of a fan as i am of yours charlie i have to agree with alot of the comments here. U did miss alot of the worst spots in london and kinda made it look better then it actually is. Should do a little more research so u can show the real story
You're car must have alot of miles on it?...
helppp i just know the girl at 1:10 was freaking tf out inside the whole time u were recording her 😭😭😭
I'm from Windsor. I've been to London many times. London is not bad at all. If u want to see bad, go to Southwest Detroit, Detroit's Eastside, Pontiac, or Flint Michigan. Hell, just go anywhere in Chicago these days.
Lots of rough parts for sure but some of it is really nice
siempre muestran la parte bonita de canda, yo esperaba esto..
Charlie you got to swing by king Edward , Hilton , limbo, Marconi, vine wood , Kipps lane ,boullee & h block while you are London there is a lot to see!
haha yes there are a couple worse stops, luckily isolated to a few buildings/streets
Too bad you didn't make a left turn at the first light you stopped at. That's the 'downtown ghetto" and you drove right past it. There's a few other areas you could have cruised past... Kipp's Lane/ Country Lane, Limberlost, Millbank Drive... A few of the tent encampments by the riverbank.
You missed most of the really desperate areas of town.
This is hilarious 😂 please make a video going out to Marconi or Clarke road at the least 😂 EOA all the way😂
I think clark road has really turned around, but north marconi is still not great, so weird how the south part of the street is kinda nice.
@@SpencerGatten Clark and Trafalgar is still a show these days. So happy my friend moved out of that area. I don't have to go anywhere near Clarke any more lol I lived on Marconi for six months and was almost shot from a stray bullet through my apartment door in the 90s. Moved out of there pretty quickly lol
@@lizatkinson8034 holy cow!!! ya I think marconi used to be super bad. What part of trafalgar do you find really bad?
@@SpencerGatten like the Hamilton and Egerton/rectory st. area. Then the old hospital area is terrible and support getto at night. Then Dundas around second Street area and heading towards Clark Rd. That's just that section of the city. 😆
@@lizatkinson8034 ya those are some good points. I am glad it stays relatively isolated though

Very nice video if you go in Québec Limoilou and Montréal Nord is the destination ⚜️
Where is the hood I don’t see it
London Ontario is probably one of the safer cities to live in, even though it has the hood in the city, but then again every major big city has a hood in it it’s safer to live in any city in Canada even Toronto than America America in a hood you would just get shot robbed in the hood. It’s more friendlier.
Gotta go to Toronto for a real hood experience haha London is a bit run down but nothing crazy
Everyone in Toronto is a millionaire lol
I always heard Winnipeg is the worst city in canada
@@kylephillip6433 I've lived in Winnipeg, and the worst thing about Winnipeg is that it is cold. Not much to complain about otherwise lol It is far prettier and cleaner than Louisville or Indianapolis (which I've lived in), or any other big American city I've seen
London is an old city. Developer's have not moved as yet..I get a small towne vibe
Hood in Toronto is still worth 3 times more than London hood 😆
I grew up in London
I bought your gas!
Which London England or Canada
That's canada #thebeef
@@JohnnyPreston6699canada obviously
Lol never knew London had hoods. Place is super tame compared to Detroit. I live here and walk the streets at night with zero issues
Would have been nice if you described where you were driving around.
The second clip is Adelaide St at Dundas near the cop shop. It's my daily route to work. Never encounter any problems other than the occasional panhandler on the traffic medium. Much safer than most bigger American cities.
I agree, I go to a locksmith there sometimes and havent run into any problems, that being said I wouldnt want to hang there for too long lol
You should go to "Montreal Nord" that's a pretty ghetto area.
Oh c'mon that is no "hood" [I live in Detroit but my particular area is pretty safe] I have been to London, just for airshows though so have never seen most of the city. Can't get into Canada anymore, last time I tried for a friends wedding in Chatham they had me tagged as an outlaw biker and told me to turn around and don't come back.
That actually doesn't look too bad. Kinda like an inner ring suburb in the states.
It isn’t bad lol most definitely not a hood, it’s a university town. Title is clickbait.
It really is. If this guy thinks London Ontario has "hoods", he would be crapping his pants at seeing the bombed-out ghettoes of south Chicago or west Philadelphia lol
Yeah it isn't, at all. It in fact is not a hood at all. It's just older areas. The same places that in the US would end up like a third worl hell hole, but here are still maintaineded and quite fine actually because it isn't a "hood" at all.
@@philpottkentucky4802 he film those parts
The hoods in London are Limberlost or Bouliee areas and down the Dundas EOA strip.
There are much worse around in this city the Adelaide at York and Adelaide at Dundas are REALLY bad with druggies
@charliebo313 thank you for doing this man . Love and respect from Canada
Not a hood just old houses on quiet streets, clean no hangouts and no grafitti. This is how most of london looked like in the 60s and 70s. There were no rich neibourhoods back then eveyone lived much the same.
That's the east side right?
My hometown, I dont say this with pride haha. Next time, go down Dundas street Between Quebac street and Downtown. Its freaky, especially the back laneways behind Dundas street
Your hometown is the best London!
LOL yes it is I live here also and to see freaks I go to the area you just described
@@philster6383 Freaks is an understatement here. Me and buddies have named some on the North end of downtown, Tweaker reaper, to Crackie Chan. London has them all
@@kylebattagin621 YES they do and the video shows how mild the crime is in London ON compared to the US. But yes NE London is full of freaks
I grew up near there. Lol. Thank God I did well in school.
That's one rough hood, eh!
Bruh this looks better than some towns I see in the state I live in (South Carolina). The houses look a lot better than down here.
@K.M.V.S idk if it's one of the most run down, I can think of plenty that are in worse shape than "The Forest City" but ya, I agree, everything is nicer on this side of the border.
Added bonus = We've had 2 mass shootings in our Country's history (2 too many)
How many in America this yr alone? 🤔
haha, shout out to Rays Mini. I used to go there when Ilived on Williams Street. Small world I guess.
