This Is "Britain's Most Dangerous Road" ~20 Years On

  • Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, Stapleton Road in Easton, Bristol was widely regarded as one of, if not the most dangerous roads in the country.
    Whether it actually was the worst road in the country or not is up for debate, but the facts don’t lie - it was crazy dangerous.
    In this video, I took a look at Stapleton Road today, as well as the surrounding area of Easton, which viewers have been telling me is the most dangerous area in Bristol.
    I saw some pretty crazy stuff; litter, evidence of drinking and drug use, flytipping, etc.

    Hope you enjoyed this look inside Easton, in Bristol, and the infamous Stapleton Road - and as long as I keep surviving these ghetto and rough area tours, I'll keep bringing them to you.
    As always, all comments, questions, and feedback are welcome - Thanks for tuning in! 😀👍

      The reason Easton isnt higher is because blacks dont report crime as much as other groups.
      They have an anti-police bias.
      Plus just exhaustion. If everyday there is crime, it becomes a normal part of life, not worth reporting.

    Lived in Easton 40 years ago (Chaplin Road). At the time, I had a young family and kept a machete under the bed. We were crazy poor and luckily, I managed to get a job in another part of the country. Not the greatest place to raise a family and I don't recommend the experience. Nowadays I own and live on a large rural property in New Zealand. Strange how things have turned out. Flaxen Saxon.

    Great video! Sadly, BCC is one of the worst councils, I came acros in the UK when it comes tp addressing inequalities and managing urban infrastructure. Despite their shiny policies and empty claims, the reality is that city is divided into areas where some level of management and upkeep exist (mostly Cotham, Clifton and Harbourside ) and the rest of the city is in a staggering state of decay. Lack of decent public transport, poor lightining, potholes, pavements suitable for trekking shoes, flooding after every rain, rubbish piling up, crime, filth and rodents.

    • @ukexplored

      Yes, I have friends in Bristol and have seen most of it over the years now, the good and bad, and I agree. The contrast between the expensive and poor areas is staggering, it’s going to backfire at some point as the borders are getting more blurred all the time. And not to mention it’s unbearable to drive around for the most part 😅

      It’s because they pissed all the money on Cabbot Circus and now can’t maintain it and they keep messing with the roads because they fucked it the first time.
      They didn’t realise that Bristol was a big place for events and that was the backbone of its revenue. They thought they could replace it with revenue from high end retail in a city where most of the people looked like greenpeace mercenaries.
      Now they’re gone, so is the money because they weren’t as poor as they looked and bought people from all over the country with the events they used to put on which got the big £ coming in.
      People don’t shop in the same place for long.
      They here about a new place, flock to it and then move to the next one.
      Night life is a far more sustainable economic model as proven by Bristol.
      Martin Rees destroyed the city by choking the life out of it.

      Why do people want to make out that it's so sketchy, it's really not. Stabbings happen all over the UK. Shootings here are rare and the ones that happened on this road were mostly people from other cities, also after carnival which used to bring trouble back in the day. Other than that it's just your average multi-cultural area and actually quite artsy / hipster.

    Used to get the train to Stapleton Road from Avonmouth back in the day with my two dogs to go and see friends in Fishponds. Ever been to Avonmouth? It's grim. I had a council place in an old Mariners Mission full of addicts. That was an education. The dealer used to turn up 'toot toot toot' on his horn and all the front doors would open and thud thud thud down the stairs as they all went and got their gear, like the ice cream man.

    But as you have said, the loss of the industrial jobs has really crippled so many parts of the UK, put on top of that the current financial situation for so many.

      Mate, no one will ever draw a gun on you in the UK. That's like crazy organised crime stuff. Here you'll get low level smash and grab kind of property crime eg car or house break ins, maybe witnessing a drug deal in progress, antisocial behaviour like loitering, street graffiti, damage to abandoned property, throwing litter around, drunken Street fights, and gang members stabbing each other in London. The UK may look less pretty compared to the US but I can go to Stapleton at night and get out of my car to go to a shop or a pharmacy (which I have done many times) and yet I can't think of going to downtown L.A. during the day in a car.
      Most 'illegals' here in the UK actually have an incentive not to engage in criminal activity. If they live here without breaking any laws for 10 years, they have a right to residency.
      So, Janet honey, don't equate being foreign with being a criminal. And all of our ancestors at one point were foreigners in the lands we now call home. Be humble.

      Well, according to the ONS, there was a net migration of 2 million people into the UK between 2011 and 2021 and 6.8 million births, therefore it's 3.4 times more likely the issue is with British people rather than immigrants. I know that's a simplification since 1-year-olds ain't going to be breaking into cars and that we should be comparing the births from 1991-2001 to immigration between 2011-2021 instead, but that's skipping over the real issue in the UK - the gap between the richest and the poorest is getting wildly out of control. Since 1970, income share for the top 10% has ballooned whilst income for the bottom 50% has reduced or remained stagnant, all while living costs in the past 30 years have risen. So you've got people unable to make a decent living going straight and more people on the upper end looking like larger targets than ever, it's not really that surprising that some people have decided to take back what society has leached from them.
      It's easier for most older people to blame the anonymous brown man that just walked into town rather than the government, though 🤷‍♂.

    My cousins are proud Bristolians so I’ve seen a bit of the city (clearly, not all bad). However, they’ve told me the odd haunting story. A friend of theirs was walking back through an area like Easton and got randomly hit on the head with a sledgehammer. Had major PTSD afterwards. And less gravely when we went out to a local pub in St Paul’s, my cousin’s bike was stolen. I’m stunned at the house prices: it’s not far off Colchester where such houses are ensconced in bourgeois enclaves!

Most steal to live I blame the government. People haven't got any hope, no inspiration to do better. Low wages, overcrowding houses, high tax on wages if you work overtime for extra money. Lack of education and degrees. It then shifts from one generation to another. It's dire!!

No problems whatsoever, I felt quite safe. St Pauls, I only had time during the day but felt equally safe. Braunston and Portland square were great.

    I live in Bristol and go through Stapleton road daily.

    The place does struggle with litter/flytipping, homelessness and hard drug use.
    The flytipping is so frustrating, but it is something that will be done by people more desperate for money, perhaps more support can be given from local councils.
    The homelessness is quite a wide spread problem on this side of Bristol, stretching from the centre. All I see are some city center charities trying to help, but i think more support for these people is required on a city or regional level.
