Join me and Danny from the excellent RUclips channel @honestplaces as we explore Tower Hamlets, the old East End of London. This is a notoriously multicultural and edgy borough that was recommended to me by none other than the viewers of this channel as the "Roughest Borough in London"! What better way to find out for ourselves than a good wander and mingle amongst the area's infamous rough pubs!

You should go to Ladbroke Grove westlondon,Tomorrow s busy as its Saturday.
That lad is speaking facts. 7:55. Tower hamlets was once a proper white working class English area. Those that remain are treated like filth. In khans London and especially tower hamlets. The Muslim community is favoured big time. Call me what u want. But I stick by my beliefs. No Brits should be a minority in any area in their own country.
Remember the movie Withnail and I haha ?? Go into a pub like that,,Pubs in rough areas arent bad go where working men drink thats rough,,Shipyard pubs Docks etc
You ammass a great deal of neonazis on your comment section Wendall ... might want to moderate that better unless you consider that natural
And ps .... i lived in whitechapel 10 years ago .... delete all comments saying " we were replaced " ...... for info of them neonazi bottomfeeders 10 years ago whitechapel was far more asian but between batterings of the BNP and the city bankers buying more of the east part of london past the city -> if anyone replace the " original population " of east london and whitechapel it was the Eton boys and their flashy buildigs
Inform any gammon here on your comment thead of that and do the next EDL and BNP a favour by cutting down one moronic topic of their endless retarded list of complaints
All Respect for the 1st male police officer, very good manor, good sense of his surroundings and not intimidating at all, this is how police officers in this country should behave. GOOD FOR YOU MATE.
'Very good' MANOR.......'!!!! 'MANNER' surely.
Yes he is most definitely a goodun!
Not intimidating to an innocent passer by with a live stream, yeah it’s crazy he was so nice, I’m going go and have a chat with him on a Saturday night in that same avenue at 3am, sure he’s accommodating

@@Its.true1 I definitely do.
The blind beggar is a tourist pub , rough it is not. As a northerner who bin around pubs in tower hamlets, bethnal and pretty much all east London many times never had an issue. Most people just chilling in their locals not wantng unnecessary grief. Just cos a pub looks "rough" doesn't mean the people are not sound, most are salt of the earth
Agreed as a Southern who lives up north. But you missed out.... it's all an overpriced shithole. London is fucking dump.
100%! I stopped watching when it was clear he was walking into random pubs on a quiet day/time of day. i've seen worse pubs in London than all of these by a mile
Flat roof pubs are usually found on council estates and usually rough as toast.
Full-fledged the local low life 😅
Rule of thumb - flat roof and or net curtains = Rough pub
I stayed in tower hamlets for a while in 2005, staying at my Asian Australian g/fs flat in an old council estate block.
She wasn't local and didn't know anyone but she blended in due to her skin tone.
One night by myself walking back
I got circled by a crew of young local Asian lads.
About 7 of them started punching me in the head. They didn't want my belongings.
They just wanted to fuck me up.
One little guy all excited jumping up and down infront of me said I'm gonna stab him and I pushed one aside and ran for my life towards the tower block door.
They chased me and managed to catch me before I could close the door .
They continued to beat the shit outta me this white boy until the leader said he's had enough and they left.
I lived in many shady parts of South and east London over 12 years and witnessed the riots first hand in Peckham.
London is a crazy city that behind all the tourist site seeing vibes its can be a very dangerous place.
Broken, bruised and one titanium plate in my jaw later I was happy to live to tell the story.
The lefties will say you are a liar,brown people are great and whites are racist. Many lefties comment on here.
I'm sorry to hear that. Many left types will turn a blind eye to these events and laugh it off in a smug way. Unfortunately, these incidents are not rare occurrences when you're a minority in a so called "diverse and vibrant" part of town.
hope you're ok now martin 😢 racism doesn't count against us white people im afraid
@@user-yh9wu4ni1e nailed it, you can see the delusional lefties screeching in the comments, you are not allowed to dare criticise how bad London is and to suggest an area filled with 'diverse' Aka less white people is some how a bad thing for the social cohesion and overall feel of an area. As they continue to repeat over in their mind how diversity is a strength, it's almost laughable that they might actually believe that, considering if it was so obviously true then why do we have to continually be reminded of it?
Any place you're in a minority, whether black, brown or white (I'm talking neighbourhood scale here, not countries), the local thugs will f%&k with you. I spent several years living in Tower Hamlets/Bethnal Green, and yeah, it can definitely be rough - although I'd contend, not as bad as its neighbour to the North, Hackney!
Never drink in a flat roof pub .
Unlucky ... Truest words ever !!!
As a wise man once said...
"Nothing good ever happens in a flat roofed pub"

Some estate pubs in Manchester have flat rooves. Full of the wild men of Manchester. 😂😅
Hello fresh is not fresh, it's poor quality cheap ingredients conveniently put in a box and delivered to your door.
I love Hello Fresh, I wonder if it's called Halal Fresh in Tower Hamlets
Classic 😅 @@roywalker5898
Or Kashrut Fresh in Golders Green. 😃@@roywalker5898
Most recipes are bland as fuck too. I think the main selling point is for people who have just finished work and don't want the faff off picking a recipe, buying ingredients etc. They just want something quick to whip up.
I mean yeah, the whole business model is to target lazy people who don’t want to go to a supermarket and look for the best ingredients and furthermore cook something amazing. You pay for that ability to be lazy, I guess.
that guy in the brown tracksuit hasn’t blinked in weeks
Wired lmao👀
Definitely hasn't washed, too, 😂
That poor guy - he looks spaced out. My heart goes out to him.😟
@@hj179im sure he is happy in space😂
@hj179 take him in, then.. I bet you wake up in the morning skint..
It was tough for me to hear the guy with the beard speak. That interview took place in Brayford Square, Stepney and i grew up a 20 second walk from there. Like him i always felt like an outcast there. 90% of the population are asain and it's a tough place to grow up. There were times when staff would look past me and serve asains behind me in the queue and i was always made to feel like i didn't belong. 11 years ago i moved to another part of Tower hamlets called Bow. The Asian community here makes up 30% and they are so much more friendly and inclusive. This is a truly multicultural and vibrant part of London unlike Stepney. I hope you will return to Tower hamlets one day and explore Bow, Poplar and the Isle of Dogs. Whilst it is the rougher part of Tower Hamlets it's also the more diverse and by far the best part.
Bit unfair on The Blind Beggar. It's a lovely pub with lovely staff. The East End is and always has been a melting pot of different cultures and I love the area.
Funny that the one slagging it off is wearing glasses & not paying out on the drinks….. truly a blind beggar!
Went in there in 87...my mate and his bird had a flat close to it....nice place,cockneys were fine.even tho I was a Manchester bloke..... Manchester as bad places too....
cOME ON, IT WAS NEVER THIS BAD, SO DON'T TRY AND SAY IT WAS.
Agree its basically a tourist pub and not rough at all these days
Northerner who goes a couple of times a year to drink with local Eastend pals never had a issue in any pub
Barman’s a top fella in the beggar helped me out when I was proper messy in there one night cheers mate if you see this ❤😂
My mum was working a nurse in Bethnal Green in the 70's when he first met my dad. This was only a few years from the Krays and there was still a presence of East End gangsters.
She mentioned that was very safe to go out in and while the place had a reputation everyone was polite and wouldn't tolerate antisocial behaviour. It was a stark contract from Coventry where she had worked previously.
overrun with Muslims now..
Yeah the good old Kray twins, violent psychotic gangsters. Loved their Mum though.
@@fgrsimon Sick of this wonderful days of the Krays nonsense.
Like the mob, it's easy to be visibly generous with other peoples money.
These people didn't have shops or other businesses that had to stump up for the protection rackets or else.
These f'ers didn't care if they ran your business into the ground.
Rackets and violence is how they 'aquired' clubs and ran long firms.
Police weren't averse to a brown envelopes in those days either, to make evidence dissapear from lockup, for the right money.
Anti social behaviour, I used to drink with old men who were young 'tearaways' in the 60's and70's.
Random gang fights with bike chains and other implements was all the rage.
Police patrolling Tower bridge turning South London lads back from going north of the river and getting into 'trouble' and vice versa.
My son got mugged whilst at Uni in Coventry. Utter fucktards attached him with hammers just to get his iPhone. Diversity is our strengths? Fuck off.
There's no respect or loyalty now days I brought my kids up with please and thank you and people are amazed to see it !!
I moved from South Dublin to Tower Hamlets 7 months ago and I can honestly say I don't feel intimidated walking around most of it, some roads and pubs can look a bit dodgy but I've walked most of the area late at night on my own and been fine.
Be careful. People have been taken off guard thinking they knew a place well. Stay safe man!
@@pumpkinpatch5 absolutely brother I grew up in a rough area so always know to have me wits about me 😉
I’m suprised tower hamlets was voted the roughest most dangerous. As someone who lived almost 20years there in the 90s and 2000s, Always felt like it was one of the safest. Newham Hackney was always more edgy for me
I know iwas born in Bermondsey, lived in Brixton and Kennington fo fifty years. I now live in Stockwell I'm 74 I often go over to Bethnal greenWhitechapel for a wander around a few pints and a curry have never felt intimidated in any of those areas. Of course shit can happen but that applies to any city on the planet
‘Everything is okay because it never happened to me 😅’ - Clown - how’s Dublin looking lately

Yeah cool guy, level headed.
He looks kinda like actor Jim Nesbitt!
He has the biggest head I've ever seen in proportion to his body.
@@dannymcmince ah yes
He’s the new face of Britain. Busy working?

The zombie apocalypse is here!
I've unsubbed from this channel for this reason - Trying to paint people in their worst light, comes across like he cares when speaking to them, then catches them on a thumbnail to promote a certain image of an area, kinda scummy tbh.
It's more like the guys soul saying "sos",,,, "help."
@@skarecrowster fair enough. I can absolutely see where you're coming from. Tbf I haven't watched lots of videos on this channel but so far it hasn't struck me as being "misery tourism" or sensationalist.
Your mate is talking shit about the blind beggar pub. I've been going in there for a couple of years and it's not filthy at all. It even has a nice beer garden
I was there last night, it was filthy, there was a used Jonny in the toilet, and the toilet was blocked

Seems filthy is relative.
The Beggar is an ok pub, been drinking in there for years
@@jeffmason shithole jeff just admit it
This is like Danny Dyer in Glasgow talking about old firm games. What a proper tool.

A tragedy.
because in london we arent that friendly. its. a massive city with tourists coming and going. is this new news to you? i thought it was common knowledge
People that told you Tower Hamlets is the roughest place in London are probably daily mail readers/GB News viewers that have never set foot there. I lived there in various places for 10 years and the worst thing that ever happened was someone stole a wheel from my bike when I left it near a canal.
but yet you didn't provide an alternative location that could be considered rougher. Your individual experience doesn't dictate an area. A great deal of people told him it was that which is more experience than your singular one.
@@luketargett2233 you missed my point. Tower Hamlets is often used by Daily Mail/GB News to denigrate London simply because it has a high Bengali/Muslim population so is an easy target for people trying to stir up culture wars. My point was, many people presume it's rough simply because they consume content from certain media outlets, rather than personal experience. You want rougher, go to Tottenham, Brixton, Hackney, Lewisham.
@@luketargett2233 have u ever bothered to look at the criminal history of glasgow?
is this a good enough example for you? the crime statistics do "dictate and area".
English is not everyones strong point.

And how is that working out for ya? @@buddyhell7100
I lived in Tower Hamlets from '96 to 2003.
It wasn't too bad at first, I lived on a new estate on the Isle of Dogs. But by the time I'd left my wife had stones thrown at her, I'd been attacked outside the vets surgery, the vet himself had been put in a coma after being bricked in Wapping, I had a number of friends attacked. There was a spate of gangs mobbing lone women (nurses and hospitality staff off shift) and being badly sexually assaulted. Men were being warned off from Limehouse area, people were being stabbed in the buttocks for laughs. All by Bangladeshi and Somali immigrants. I even encountered a gang tooled up with machetes, knives and iron bars on Mudchute Park.
And there was a massive cover up by local politicians, the met police and the Evening Standard who refused to report.
Only after i documented it to our then MP was some effort made to control gang activities...around 4 officers to cover 24/7, which was laughable.
And what makes my blood boil is that others still pretend this doesn't happen, and people will call you "WAYCIST!!" for pointing out what everybody should fcking know.
@@MrBannystar it's very cruel when people deny others experiences.
This video should be called walking around tower hamlets looking for any reason to drink a pint
😂
@ 11.28 The guy with the DOPE Lanyard , you couldn't make that one up
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bet the old bill know him well.
While Wendall is chatting honest places has popped off for a cheeky pint, banging. 😂
In the early/mid 1980s I lived in Garfield House, Limehouse, just off Westferry Road. It was a great area safe and decent honest hard grafting Londoners, Pubs full.of characters. That was all torn down and cleared for the Yuppy apartments bistros wine bars etc.
Gentrification uses big apartment blocks as monopoly chips. Yuppies, whole not ostensibly dangerous, are Gordon Gecko like twats that force working folk out and bump up rents. I loathe them!!
The same thing has happened south of the river there's only one proper pub down the Old Kent Road. There's none in Lambeth walk. These two roads were hubs of the local community The area between vauxhall and battersea power station is now called Thames city its nothing but yuppy flats for people who want to be near the American embassy. Local people can't afford to live there its soulless and characterless like all the new developments in places like docklands. It's not just the fault of immigrants these places always had a large immigrant population which contributed to their character. "Gentrification" has sacked the life out of these places and destroyed communities that had existed for centuries
I live in one of Birmingham's main no-go areas (well, according to toffs from Solihull, you don't go here, unless you're heading for the one Balti still standing, and even then you should arrive and leave via a cab to the doorstep), and compared to the posh Birmingham areas, this is one of the safest to live. It's all class snobbery really.
I live in Poland, in what most Poles consider the dodgiest big city of Poland, where I have no problem walking the city anywhere way past midnight, but watching the rough parts of the nowadays UK creeps me out. I've been to London a few times, with a few years gap between and every time I visit I can see it getting rougher and rougher. More chewing gum on train platforms and bus stops, more trash on the side of the road, more graffiti, more disrepair, more neglected cars, more locks, bars and tall fences, more homeless and more goblin-looking weirdos. I visited my family recently and my cousin talks about how he got stabbed in the belly on the street for no reason and how his brand new car was knicked from his driveway while he was home. The thieves flew a drone to his bedroom to extend the range of his key and then just drove off straight to the centre of London and vanished there. Apparently that is not rare and that is why the insurance is so high generally. When we ordered food I wanted to pay for it, but they tell me that the delivery drivers no longer accept cash, because of how often they were robbed of it. I also learned that you can no longer just hop on a bus and pay with cash to the driver. They also instructed me on the areas I shouldn't go in the city when I said I wanted to walk around and buy a few things on my own.
20 years ago things like that happening in the calm Watford were completely unheard of.
Agree
If Poland ever accepts mass, uncontrolled immigration from the Middle East & Africa they are in for a big shock. This vibrancy will be their undoing

Tower Hamlets is very poor. But actually a pretty cool place.
You realize some of the biggest tourist attractions in London are in Tower Hamlets. The Tower Of London, Tower Bridge, St Cathrines’s Dock. And it edges the City as you said.
You should have gone to The Prospect Of Whitby… great pub.

We were always in pubs in Bethnal Green and Whitechapel. The Blind Beggars was a regular watering hole.
Bethnal Green was ok way back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.
Nothing wrong with it now
In the early 90s we used to drink in The Unicorn on Vivian Road ( a bit further up towards Bow ) - regular watering hole too - all very friendly, but there were a few dodgy geezers in there. Great Times.
I think the guy with the beard made sense

@@markjenkins3609 😁
It’s basically like that all over though. And this is what can make these “rough” place videos seem a bit transparent. How you dress and behave can influence the experiences that you have. That’s why some people will tell you a place is safe and another person tell you it’s a bad place. More than anything you’ve gotta know an area and know what’s best avoided to keep out of any trouble or problems. Even a posh rich area could be unsafe if you walked the streets every day drinking cans of special brew and wearing poor cheap clothes cos you would be making yourself stand out from the rich tea drinking dressed to the nines locals which risks attracting bad attention in some instances
I agree, your comment made sense, if you know what I mean.
I would guess that at night is a very different place … I grew up in a rough part of Brum and by day it was one thing ..At night it was another 👍🏽
This is the issue I have with Wendel. I lived in Tower Hamlets for nearly 8 years.
The difference between walking around in daytime and at night can be stark.
It can be pretty nasty if you don't watch your back.
Or when it’s not raining
“Whats the community like ?”. Laughter in the back ground 😂
Some years ago there was a TV series on the roughest pubs in Britain. During my time as a long distance lorry driver. I had been in over half of them. (Never had a problem.)
I used to live in Whitechapel and we got replaced yeh diversity is great.
Most left the East end to Essex because many was very racist and didn't want to live in multicultural areas of London.
Got replaced….snowflake

Welcome aboard
I lived in Tower Hamlets from 1966 to 98, it was then full of proper old school East Enders, a lot who had gone through the war when the area was widely bombed due to the proximity to the docks. I lived in Poplar from 66 to 70 right opposite the East India Docks what is now Canary Wharf I saw you were on The East India Dock Road (Manor Arms) opposite where our old flat was !. Many great memories of living in Poplar even though I was very young !. A neighbour used to take me over the docks to look at all the ships moored up, the docks were an exiting place to a 5 year old at the time, although they were starting to go into decline at that time as well.
My family moved to Stepney from Poplar in April 1970. My stomping ground was Bethnal Green during the 80's and 90's when the pubs were superb. People came from Essex, South London and all over and the place was buzzing from Thursdays through to Sundays. There was around 17 pubs the length of Bethnal Green Road at one point with many others in the many streets around it. I worked as a DJ in a pub in Old Bethnal Green Road for 3 years in the 80's, plenty of late night lock ins with the odd Police raid !.
I often go back for Pie and Mash in Kelly's Roman Road and a few beers in the remaining pubs, but like most things, nothing stays the same and people move away. Great memories of a great time. Not as rough as people would have you believe either. No regrets about moving out when I did as it was changing and not for the better of the everyone. Sectarian politics started in the early 90's in my opinion and there was a noticeable changes in a lot of day to day things. There was no integration between the bengali and white population's and that has not changed despite what people may say, if anything it has got worse and there is a lot of divisive politics in that area now. Wherever I choose to live, I will always be an Eastender first and foremost and glad I grew up there at the time I did. Also, the Krays drank more in the Grave Maurice pub along Whitechapel than the Blind Beggar. You didn't go to Bow or Hackney Road all in T.H so maybe another visit another time !
Good to see you and Danny on a video - Really enjoying this one
🙏
So much scope for London - an almost endless list of different areas to check out. Love seeing the crossover with Honest Places - he's got a great channel there.
if that bloke says "if that makes sense" once more...!
I lived on that first road with the police tape from 2014-19, Wilmot Street, actually a really nice road. Loved Bethnal Green. Generally safe, great pubs, you got the odd mad thing that happened like most places in London.
02:23 - look at what a police salary gets you from a visit to Turkey.
Don't get lippy.

Alan suger used to boil and sell beetroot in the Whitechapel road market that's how he started out in the business would from rags to ritches 😮good video from a london black taxi driver
Yes, when Alan Sugar was growing up it, the East End was a traditional Jewish area. It is less so now with most of the Jews moving to the outer suburbs like Golders Green, Finchley, Hendon, Mill Hill etc...
Cohen who founded Tesco by selling out of date tinned goods in the market and there was a tradition to buy your neighbors stalls tea once every few weeks, when it was Jacks turn he used to take a day off.....
He started selling ex rental TV 📺 in lea Bridge Road and amstrad music sets, and has never looked back since
Haha. He created his very own Borscht Belt then! 😂😅
Alan "The Mug's Eyeful" Sugar...
Turn up at 10 in the evening... Not the morning... See how you get on 😂
10pm, when the area is buzzing with people of all ages, cultures, nationalities, and pay packets rubbing shoulders and having a good time? Perish the thought. You’re probably best staying at home
That THUMBNAIL😂 *"I got a DVD Playah' mate I'll sell it ya...got a bike aswell mate."*
My family are all originally from that area. No Londoners there anymore. Such a shame.
copper loves it xD
Well they all moved away so I guess thats why theres none there anymore.
Chatt? Why did they move away? What could be the reason? Is it because all white people are racist?
@@chatteyjNo shit
Bullshit - plenty of cockneys still live around here, come down to The Crown and meet some of them. Or 100 other pubs in the area.
If there are more ethnically diverse groups in the area maybe it’s because the housing was so cheap thanks to things like WWII blitzes and general social decline - cheap housing attracted communities that couldn’t afford more. Then after contributing to the area they’re lambasted by people who moved out of the area who were also looking for a better life in places like Essex. But feel free to continue punching down, great work
It seems contradictory to call a place diverse, when around half the people are from the same culture or religion.
This is classed as diverse in England😂, u go to most places and it’s 90% of one race and 10% of any others
Politicians rotting the country from the inside out.
The Krays probably ran that area back in the day, if they saw it now they would turn in their grave. It's just Bangladesh in London minus a few posh yuppy buildings/roads. Having worked there for about 7 years, it's not changed since. Never felt that safe travelling home late at night either due to the riff raff that inhabit the stations (Shadwell).
diverse just means minimal whites...
i've seen all black groups called diverse by the media, go figure
People who call those areas diverse are either from the same background, or some posh twat originally from the home countries, who have recently moved to the area. They will soon realise it’s not nice or ‘diverse’ when they get mugged.
Looking for rough pubs during the day is something somebody who really doesn't want to find a rough pub would do. Try going at 9pm.
I lived in whitechapel for a year and absolutely loved it. It was vibrant, it had the best indian/ bangledeshian restaurants, great market places, great public transport access, great pubs and bars, great walks and never a spot of trouble…. Only downside is the price of accommodation.
It's even better now that it's on the Liz Line.
Yeah vibrant 100%😂
That geezer favourite saying"does that make sense?" Lol
Yeah perfect sense 😮😮
He's walking on eggshells and has probably been through more than you could imagine.
@@user-yh9wu4ni1e You fell for his little deflection, did you? Did you notice his female friend? He claimed he couldn't find housing. Where is his money coming from? Coming from her "work"? Wake up
Nowhere is really dangerous, it's all about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Are you joking..Our country is a total disgrace and so are most of the people in it…I could cry…..And what has made our country like this…THE INVASTION OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO BUSSINESS OR RIGHT TO BE HERE….I am 83 and I remember my country when it was great…but when you let the third world in this is what happens….
No such thing as wrong place wrong time
what are crime statistics anyway
The guy with the Dope tag around his neck is the scariest guy I have ever seen outside of a movie.
I was working in London for several months last year and used to drink in the Hungerford arms. It’s a brilliant pub with some great people too.
One week we were housed other side of London and we caught tube down just to go there.
London is finished.
My family grew up in Brady st just behind the beggar pub,
All my family moved out many moons ago…
I used to take my Nan back there to have a look around when she was still alive.
She was saddened to see how bad it had got around there!!
Times have changed and not for the better.
Then why did you move if it was so good?
@@derekibison6644 Because it turned from good to bad. Duh.
Yeah bring back the Krays, kiddie fiddlers and skinheads. Clown
you should study the history of london ya muppet, maybe try reading charles dickens. this isn't new.
@@JazzFunkNobby1964 “It turned from good to bad” 😂
Believe it or not that little convo will mean the world to him ❤
First video I found, I'm sticking around.
I need videos like this when I don't have the money or time to visit places like these.
I'm a Londoner, and I bet the people that said Tower Hamlets was the roughest part of London, probably DON'T EVEN LIVE IN LONDON, they probably watch too much GBmews .
Right. The only reason I watched (part of) this video is because I couldn't think of how it could be the roughest
Funny to see these guys who have no clue of London at all and just read a few articles on Mail Online
I lived in Whitechapel for over 16 years and hardly ever felt in danger in anyway
I also lived in whitechapel for about a year on Christian street… never had a spot of trouble.
Did they ever catch Jack the Ripper asking for a friend 🤔
@@danbreen6946 famously not. Let your friend know
Are you black
Nice to see you and Danny colab on this… came across his channel a couple of weeks ago 🙌🏽
He’s a boss creator mate, hope the leg is healing Marco 💪
@@WendallExplores for sure mate! I love pub culture so I appreciate that stuff.
Yeah it is getting there … it’s quite a nasty break 😅
Why is the policewoman all dollied up like she's going to a pageant?
Because Instagram
She's fine
Uk makeup.
Great video,
I grew up in Stepney, Tower Hamlets but moved out to Northampton now, it is quite rough, I done a video walking down Bethnal Green Road.
If you go back to London I'll show you some real rough areas, the local pubs similar to what you showed are few and far between now.
Keep up the good videos.
Dean,

Have you ever been to Corby
Good video mate I’m finding these London ones really interesting :)
Soon as anyone uses the words vibrant or diverse I'm straight out of there. 🤣
So do you feel more at home with narrow-minded farts and common or garden racist?
I agree. 'Vibrant and Diverse' Oh, you mean junkies, knife wielding Ethnics, "funky" graffiti adorning every public space, and the local park full of used needles, with a pond proudly surrounding a disused traffic cone and dead duck. Loved London.... 40 years ago.
@@sebastiennesp1978 are you describing Glasgow?
Btw we are glad you left london. You have not been missed
@@averyintelligence "We" !? (Just identify as "gormless" and be done with it). I LOVED LONDON, GET IT????
@@sebastiennesp1978 aw times change pal. You'll get over it soon.
Btw how is jaywick? Looks like a beautiful culture 😍
Just chanced upon your channell, i love these deep dives into rough areas ! I almost blew my load when i saw Danny in the video
The Blind Beggar looks like a really interesting pub! The barman was proper sound too! I'd love to visit it one day.
Top video Wendall really loved this. Loved the pubs too particularly the Blind Beggar. Little trip down memory lane. Keep up the great work. ❤
Hoping that your sight has improved Kev
Kerching.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The cops at the beginning were cool. Non of you cant film us. I'll ask the questions. 😂😊
Was he though? Loving the diversity?
Well he isn’t going to say anything different especially on camera
He didn't have attitude. He may love the diversity not everyone is anti such things.
@@kevinmott6205 If he loves the diversity he's not from London.
someone was stabbed to death
@7,06 talk to young guy, felt very sorry for him. He obviously a 2nd class citizen in his own country. He had wise words
Making himself second class with that stupid accent.
That is not how a proper Londoner speaks. Sickening.
I've lived in Newham, hackney and now live in Southwark but was born in the home counties, coming to London was definitely a eye-opener but never experienced any issues.
Loving the London content
Amazing city
@@WendallExploreshear hear
@@WendallExploresbest city in the world glad i live only a hour away by train
Tower Hamlets is a pits 😮 East End what a joke 😳 stay away anyone dangerous at night run by rotten politicians and mayor and of London the young man sums it up 100pc
Sounds like Albany, NY. I was there one year for a trade show in a reasonably nice neighborhood. Took a wrong turn looking for a nice restaurant and ended up in crack and hookerville. Luckily a cool dope dealer gave me directions to get out of there.
Was that after you got laid and stoned?
“So much content is just sugar coated and not reality, and todays video is brought to you by Hello Fresh”
Honestly couldn’t make it up
It's a small world. I was in the Manor Arms last week, Tower Hamlets is not a bad area until you go onto the council estates then it can get rough
I dread to think what council estates are like in London
@@GuessMyName234 i was brought up on the Pepys estate and it was cool,but for outsiders and at night you could get mugged or beat up,but its like anywhere things can happen good or bad anywhere
@@lifeisblessed4802were you one of the guys duffing people up?
@@GuessMyName234 to be honest, it really depends where in london you are. my borough (wandsworth) the estates aren't particularly worse than in other parts of the country, east and southeast london though yeah the estates are rough.
Nothing on the north Peckham estate and been Pepys
Wendall Braavaaaaa...Lovin the London vibes dude, Big Respect my friend..Sorry not been commenting bredrin been really busy braavaa..Work been tough lately but I,m still with ya Bro...Keep up the good work my Bredrin from Middle Earth...
Keep up the fight Gaz ✊
The pub a bit further up from the Beggar (White Hart), did some great 'lock ins' back in the 90's.. I lived in the nurses home at Mile End hospital & worked at the Royal London. Another good pub was Lord Rodneys Head, many a great night watching the Burns Brothers.
We were born at the Royal London 😻
It is rather interesting to see things from this perspective, it is more in depth and i like it
That was really interesting thanks, particularly the visit to the blind beggar.
Refreshingly unbiased approach 👍
Used to date a girl who lived in tower hamlets. Just a few minutes walk from canary wharf. The change in just 1km was mental
How did she change in 1km ???..
I’ve done a pub crawl in the east end where we made a point to go to all the flat roofers - we started during the day in the outskirts and worked our away in towards the City as it got later - probably the better way to do it.
This isn’t a dangerous place to drink at all and would highly recommend it for anyone wishing to experience the east end.
We finished at the Palm Tree which is like taking a step back in time. It sits in the middle of a park, cash only and the cash register looks like it is from the 1940s - they play live music most nights too.
There’s no such thing as the roughest borough. There are nice and not nice parts of every borough. Tower Hamlets for example contains Canary Wharf. Croydon includes Crystal Palace.
My home roots are from east London Bethnal Green area so well said in your post.. I do agree with you too 🙏👍
Crystal Palace is in Bromley, not Croydon.
Stop explaining. London is a ghetto 😂
@@maipai4282 the park yes, the triangle no.
The majority of Crystal Palace is in Bromley including the park, tower and high street, but some of it covers on Lambeth and Croydon. When you say Crystal Palace as in the area, it is always associated as being majority part of Bromley, expect for the football club area ie Norwood and addiscombe. I grew up there so know it.
My roots came from east London round Bethnal Green area.. I don’t think Bethnal Green rough at all it has its own faults like every other town in the uk and like every other town village and city it has it share of crime and bad neighbours and bad locals .. check out villages here like Barlow like millthorpe like holmesfield .. villages round Dronfield south west and Dronfield south east .. most snottiest stuck up rude ignorant immature two-faced selfish locals and bad neighbours too .. the villages are dull nothing to do no shops etc here or near by .. so I disagree Bethnal Green isn’t dangerous place at all it has its rough edges like other towns ..
You need to go to WOOLWICH, said it so many times. Woolwich is something else. Lived there for three years, it's shocking
100%
Walk around after 10 pm.. you'll get a different vibe altogether 🥴🫣
Wendall really walked down that stretch of road with decrepit takeaways and sorry looking market stalls full of migrants and thought the word that best described it was "vibrancy".
Yes what a Tosser.
That road (Whitechapel Road) has some great pubs and independent outlets. It also has a lot of history, not only related to the Krays but also Jack the Ripper. It's also near Brick Lane which is a great night out. I'd say it's pretty vibrant compared to your standard boring British high street with the same chain stores everywhere, but each to there own.
@@cabrihome2695 Do you live in Whitechapel?
@@JazzFunkNobby1964 no, but I own a flat nearby just off commercial road and have had many great night outs there.
lovely bengali community in the area. brilliant food and hardworking people.
lets guess whos kids are more likely to end up as drs and lawyers the bengalis or yours ??????
tha answer is not yours, your kids will be packing fudge in factory number 12 🥲🥲
Love your videos, Wendell you are awesome if you have any merchandise like a hat or a beanie, I would love to buy it. I am in retired, disabled garbage man living in Northern California me and my buddies love watching you, Wendle you kick ass, my friend you’re an awesome bloke as you say, thank you for your hard work🙏💙🇺🇸💯🇬🇧
No merch as of yet, maybe one day 🫡
Also... thanks for the support? Maybe a thank you for watching? Come on wendall.
Go to Woolwich, Lewisham, Greenwich, Southwark, Lambeth, in fact South East London and North West London, Haringey, Walthamstow and Tottenham Hale are no-go areas if you venture into the estates.
Where’s no no go areas in Southwark you don’t half exaggerate bruv
I grew up in tower hamlets, yeah theres some rough parts just like anywhere but mostly its not too bad. Used to visit the last 4 pubs fairly regular they are dumps but not unsafe the people are generally chill and as you can see fairly friendly
I'm old enough to remember when London wasn't an ethnic mix. As school kids we used to play spot the black man. Now like so many cities around the world London is a totally mixed bag. And when that happens there will always be rivalry between the different groups. Humans aren't happy if they are not scrapping with someone. Even when I was a kid there were parts of London you wouldn't choose to hang around. Some of the now posh bits, used to be the worst bits. What goes around comes around.
Same thoughts. If you told me 40yrs ago in the future you’d have pay over £1m to buy a house in Peckham, I’d think you had lost your mind. Now, it’s reailty
Spot the black man what type of foolishness is that KMT
@@sbaby-kg8hn If you are young you wouldn't understand in our multicultural world. Back when I was a kid the only people of colour you saw were in National Geographic. No telly. And you rarely saw any in the flesh. Hence the school kid game. We would count the number we saw each day. You had to be there scenario.
the locals sound like gangsta
do u mean they talk with an MLE accent?
an accent that is highly influenced from Jamaican culture? and is now the most popular accent fro londoners under the age of 25?
maybe linguistics is not your strongest subject.

Hey Wendell perhaps you should do a cookery blog every now and then. That would be sweet.😂
Everytime HelloFresh want me to, sure thing 🫡
@@WendallExplores I hope they pay well for that...

@@WendallExplores What an excellent idea! Why not take a folding table and camping stove on your travels to offer the locals free samples of the HelloFresh meals you've cooked in the street?
@@terrapyn99 hahahaha
Love the video also like the way that fella explain how he feels in his own area
Tower Hamlets was voted number 1 because it's central, most people from all 4 sides of London have probably passed through at some point, the real roughest areas are proper in the suburbs and for good reason have never been visited by the majority of Londonders, like Harlesden, Newham, Leytonstone, just to name a few of the ones I've found particularly rough.
