True dat. However the name Brixton still strikes fear into the heart of many grin
Many of em' drugdealers /gangbangers still hang around dat area. You can easily differentiate the various gangs by the colur of the bandana they hang above their back pockets.

like brixton


One my uncles bought a house in the 60's for around Brixton from £5,500

The house went £1.1m in 2007, so many of the TV presenters live around Brixton, Stockwell, Clapham, Tulshill etc.

Woolwich is a different ball game. . . . . . .It's a concrete street.

U see bare niggaz in there blasting their Yoruba and are ready to kick ass at the slightest provocation.
But even with that, these places are still better than most areas in Lagos.

This is supposed to be in one of the best citiesin the world smiley. Wetin jim iyke dey look for in brixton sef. Infact, the only place i know where somebody has been double mugged was london (they mugged him at 11pm, then 35 minutes later the guy was nabbed by another of the knights of the night. Of course london is still the best place to live in- just make sure u are not carrying your wallet with you grin

Does anyone watch Jocelyn jee essien little miss jocelyn. I remember a joke she made about punishing a white guy - by strapping him, then writing "blacks go back home" and then dropping him in the middle of the streets of brixton.

Kai! That's really funny - these guys don't give a monkeys who you are, if you deserve a slap, they'll give you one. If they know you're a celebrity, they'll give you celebrity slaps. grin grin grin Slaps have their own levels too. wink

Many years ago, I lived in Woolwich Dockyards. At the time, it seemed cool, most of the local hoods knew me and my pals, and they were fine with us. Never got anything lifted off me, even when out after midnight.

I later moved further down the road, to Plumstead, and it was the same, Woolwich hoods. Powis Street was their meeting point, and after 18:00, once the pedestrian zone was open to traffic, things changed. wink As long as you knew when to shut your flap, and kept your nose clean, you were fine.

Whoever wrote about some rat infested flat in elephant and castle is chatting shit.
I live in elephant and it's bloody expensive, privately let flats go for about £1500 month for a one bedroom, it's 10 mins away from London Bridge, 20 mins away from the west end, it is basically one of the most coveted areas to live in.

The problem is that once people get to London, they start believing St Johns Eood and Golders Green are the areas to live in, let's be honest, I'll much rather live amongst people who don't live pretentiously.

I love south london, Peckham is rough but so is everywhere else in London. Hell, shootings and stabbings are getting more common in north and west London!


As per the Woolwich area, my man lives in Thamesmead and I have to say it is absolutely gorgeous, new flats with river views, I know most people will rather live there than some snobby area.

So all you Naijas based in London now that look down on south London as a ghetto that stinks and say you won't be caught dead there are brainwashed twats. Simple as.

If you carry yourself well, no one will come to look for your trouble. Don't start none and there won't be none.
Re: When Did Peckham (In London) Get Annexed By Nigeria? by tegasgirl(f): 12:48am On Nov 14, 2009
To make a further point, Elephant and Castle is NOT 'infested' with Nigerians. It is actually an area where most South Americans are based.

I bet there isn't a thread on 'mexicanland.com' going on about how many they are in rye area in a negative way.

Then 2moro we wonder why we are not moving forward as a country, if we can't support ourselves, how do we expect others to support us?
Re: When Did Peckham (In London) Get Annexed By Nigeria? by chika98: 1:08am On Nov 14, 2009
I agree with Tegasgirl to some extent. Housing around those parts are expensive though

so someone lives in a nice area they are a snob?

look if you are not used to inner city life you will never find these area mentioned above nice to live in or visit - just cos something is a stones throw a way from the west end and property prices are high does not make it a very nice area to live in. I mean i know a number of people who have lived in south london or london for that matter but once they reach the stage where they have kids they move out to essex, hertfordshire, berkshire, bucks kent and the like.

to be honest there are a number of places one can get naija food and black hair products around london so why people feel that they can only feel like they are close to home in these type of places is beyond me - when i feel like home i jump on a plane and go home, failing that i have a good sense of who i am and where i come from that i don't need to live near a shop that sells bush meat to feel nigerian, trust me working around oyinbo people everyday reminds me i'm nigerian

No one is making out that not living in south London makes you a snob. The snobs are the people on here who came on in the first instance going on about how much of a ghetto south London is, like those of us that live there are church rats. I just wanted to point out that it's not as terrible as people are making out. Besides they probably pay more rent than most of the people on here making out they are living the good life because they are not close to peckham. Making a point is one thing, being ignorant is a whole new ball game.

Are you talking about the 'bush meat' you grew up eating?


As per not living in London, there is nothing wrong with it. All of my sisters are based in Kent, most peoples reasons for leaving London is to buy houses where their kids can play in a garden, people leave London quite simply because they want to. I don't think they look for a deposit for a mortgage just because they don't want to live near where they sell 'bush meat'

to all you 9ja folks bad mouthing Peckham, naa real wah for u oh, In the late 80's and early 90's  real butter's like us will not be seen alive in Peckham, Brixton, Hackney, Tottenham and all those 9JA/GHANA infested areas, but with the new re-generation, all the estates have given way to modern buildings and estates like the ones you are coping in your Lekki areas of Lagos, and even the most conservative english man or woman (note i said english man or woman, not 9ijirians oh!) are fighting and killing themselves to buy property in PECKHAM now, while the Peckham infested  9ijirians have moved on, got on  AND BETTERED  their lives and bought houses in Chadfford Hundred in Essex WHICH IS NOW DUBBED THE NEW PECKHAM for 9ijirians 

The only things we go to do in Peckham now is 9JA FOOD SHOPPING, OF COURSE on a Saturday, and or course go to the 9ja CHURCHES THERE on Sunday, No "right thinking people going places" Nigerian lives in PECKHAM anymore, so all you dreamers esp you Riverside abi Riversman abi wetin u call yaself, i saw the comment  you made about House on the Rock Church as well (Touch not God's annointed and mean them no harm)
make u go  me shoo nu!! as you nefa "tedo b4" you no dey any category to critizise,
