in London, UK for 4 days with 2 friends

[PistonsFan#21]

Any people live around here? What is there to do and visit? We just had a bus trip around the city and it seems like a pretty cool place with a nice life style

[EnoughSaid]

Go to a Nando's ASAP

[Brizzly]

get an umbrella

[KobesFinger]

Go to a Nando's ASAP

I must be the only guy in England who doesn't rate Nandos. I had an Extra Hot half chicken and I didn't find it spicy at all. It had flavour but thats it.

[sweggeh]

Welcome to the greatest city on Earth :cheers:

[step_back]

If you want to splash out go for drinks at The Shard. Fooking expensive but you get a great view of the city.

[Balla_Status]

Nando's sucks.

I don't like London but if it's your first time I'm sure it'll be fun.

[HomieWeMajor]

Go and a get 2 for 2 at Sam's chicken

[PistonsFan#21]

Yeah everybody is ballin if you go to the right areas. And the bitches are so fine cause pretty much every nationality has their own community in London so you can always find what you want.

I just thought of another place to go. Go to Brixton and neighbouring Peckham. They're two hidden gems in London

:roll:

Seriously though dont go there you might die.

[Graviton]

Is it true that London is full of Somalians and Indians? Couple of my friends went there and were surprised, I think they expected more white people. They said they noticed lot of wannabe gangsta Africans. :confusedshrug:

Nah I don't really rate it. I prefer Roosters, if there are any round where you live

[kNIOKAS]

London isnt white brah. I think over 50% of London is not ethnic English. Its pretty much the most multicultural city in the world. You would find people from pretty much any country there and they all have their own community within London.

How is the crime rate in London? I hear the Somalians are real aggressive and cause lot of conflict. What are the biggest gangs there?

[Nick Young]

Nando's sucks.

I don't like London but if it's your first time I'm sure it'll be fun.
How does it suck? What's not to like about tasty chicken and mashed potatos. GTFO. Your Londoner card is revoked.

not as bad as people say dawg, I used to live in Peckham for a year and nothing bad happened.

Hos were blatantly just waiting around the Burger King drive thru and getting picked up by business men but otherwise no bad shit happened.

London gangsters are not scary at all compared to LA ones for the most part, and they only every really attack with a 5-1 advantage which is bitchmade tactics anyways. Also-no guns, only knives. Peckham ain't shit. Even the boring ass suburb I grew up in in the San Fernando Valley felt more dangerous then the "London Hood". I live in Newham now, also a "dangerous part of the city", right near Upton Park and no shit hardly ever happens. London gangsters ain't shit. And that's a good thing, speaking as someone who lives here.

:oldlol: Nah. I know a lot of Somalians, they are generally good people, even though the older Somalians dont mingle much outside of their community. There are definitely some that are in gangs, but no more so than any other gangs like the Asians (Bengalis, Pakistanis, not orientals), the other blacks (Jamaicans/Caribbean, West Africans like Ghanaians and Nigerians) and of course the white British chavs.

Usually though the gangs arent separated by ethnicity, they usually fight based on area codes so the gangs are usually mixed in ethinicity. Its not like white chavs vs blacks or anything like that (usually). In fact the ones who are most likely usually stick amongst themselves in gangs are the asians.

Thats definitely true. Very rare anyone gets shot, but you do hear about quite a few stabbings.

Also, I think you would find it way more dangerous if you were a teenager living there. Im assuming you were over 18 when you were there? A lot of the gangsters that bother people are kid, you dont usually see adult gangsters stopping people on the street to rob them, they younger ones usually do that stuff. And if you are above a certain age you are less likely to be affected. If you were a 16 year old kid walking through there during the day time there is a real possibility you get robbed.

[Cocaine80s]

my condolences

[Nick Young]

^^Yep, Asians, especially Indians and Pakistanis are the most racist race for some reason, too bad they didn't learn the lessons of Buddha and accept everyone regardless of skin tone. The most annoying thing is lots of time I try to chill with these guys and every other sentence they bring up shit like "It's a brown thing, you wouldn't get it" or "you like korma OOOO you pronounced it right too, shit you got any brown inside you?" Not all London Indians are like that, but way too many of them are, the guys and the girls, and it's f*cking obnoxious to hang out with someone who brings up the fact they're Indian or Pakistani every two seconds. It's like the only thing they have to talk about 'innit fam'

All the other gangs are integrated which I personally think is a great thing to see.

In LA it is the opposite, so much segregation, not just in gangs but even in schools, kids only talking to other kids who are the same color or nationality, f*cking racism everywhere in that city compared to London.

Only white people find Nandos amazing real talk. They never had good chicken mat home.

LOL why is it that every time I go in to Nandos it is full of 90% muslims and non-white people? The one in Stratford, the one in Leicester Square, every Nandos I go to is full of people of every race. Nandos isn't amazing but there's nothing wrong with it. Good chicken and nice sides, I don't see how anyone can say it sucks, at the very least it is average or slightly above.

I don't think it sucks just very overrated. The way people talk about it make it seem like its some 10/10 food.

I know you're joking but it'd actually be worth going to Brixton as it's the Brixton Splash today which is good fun.

Brixton is pretty safe these days, especially the main part of it, though it still maintains a somewhat unsavoury reputation, but undeservedly so. Just stay away from the estates around Angell Town etc. and you'll probably be fine.

[T_L_P]

I was in London a few months ago and I didn't recognise many Somalians.

Then again, I used to live in Bristol.

London's great though. Lot's of cool bars and places to visit. Nando's isn't all that.

My last day I was bored and went around through SoHo and other areas to find famous rock album covers like Ziggy, Morning Glory, etc. I had a lot of fun, but you have to be into rock music.

[PistonsFan#21]

Whats up with so many bars closing at 11 pm here? :wtf:

[StephHamann]

Whats up with so many bars closing at 11 pm here? :wtf:

During World War I the workers in the ammunition and weapon industry were so wasted during their morning shift that the government decided bars must close at 11 PM.

:lol

The law was nullified in 2002 but many bars are still closing early.

because "wankers" exist and love to start shit when drunk

[step_back]

Whoever said Brixton is an alright area now is bang on the money. If you want to get a cheaper place in central which is up and coming get a property there. Wandsworth used to be the same. I used to play basketball there and it was quite a rough area. After they turned the Arndale centre into Southside the council started improving the housing in the area.

Also some areas have no white people in. Southall is one and Hounslow is another. Both are shit holes and not worth a visit.

P.S If you want to find some late night bars try Shoreditch and Camden.

Could you clarify some stuff for some people? Like if these stereotypes are true:

1. All the girls are ugly.

2. Everyone has yellow teeth.
