I've known Croydon my whole life. It used to be a lovely area, especially for shopping. My mum spent a large part of the 80s working in Allders, the main department store there (now closed down), it was the third largest department store in the country, after Harrods and Selfridges. There's absolutely no denying that the area has gone downhill in recent years, but I think describing it as a ghetto is pushing it a bit!

I've been a Croydon resident for almost ten years and have never been a victim of crime. I witnessed a physical assault once, but the perpetrator was mentally ill and that can happen anywhere. Central Croydon is down at heal these days but generally the borough is leafy and friendly.

Anti-Vax were everywhere around the world (still are). To put it into a perspective... 91% of the UK population got vaccinated during the pandemic... That's 60,970,000 people who got multiple jabs. Most of Croydon is fine and it's bad side is nothing compared to other places around the world.

Well that was really depressing. I know these streets really well, as I was born and bred in Croydon (1951) - and it was a really safe and pleasant place to live. It was still pretty cool when I moved (1982) to Brixton - which was widely considered to be a really dangerous place, though I never had any trouble there either. (The narrator doesn't seem to know anything herself about the area, as there is no "Thornton East" or West Thornton", just Thornton Heath - where I was born)

​@@joescarecrow She did say "East Thornton" earlier in the video, and also "West Thornton" too. I'd rather believe people who live in any given area than someone alien to the area who is just there to prove a point because they have read statistics online about the area. Everywhere (other than maybe the richest areas) has a variety of homes, offices, streets, and a mixture of nicer versus less nice views. Underfunding by central government causes local councils to withdraw certain facilities which impact upon the local population negatively, then the problems caused are criticised by central government, which their original underfunding initiated in the first place. Tory governments spend money upon richer areas, defending poorer areas and the resulting crime wave which can occur is blamed upon the local populace instead of the Tories who always try to put poor people down. Croydon is not better, but no worse than any underfunded London areas. Westminster and Chelsea etc will always be better funded by Tory governments because they're two of the areas where their rich chums reside... There and in the "Home Counties", whilst Inner London suffer the consequences of less money being distributed and thus they don't have the chances made available to them to to improve.

I used to work in East Croydon. In that particular area too and I can honestly say I never had a problem. I’m a woman I never felt unsafe.

As an obnoxious North Londoner I have no problem calling Croydon a ghetto 🤣🤣 ... but in all fairness, yes, Croydon is rough and I only pass through on the train on my way to the coast but there's rough areas in Hackney, Islington (lived in Archway, Angel, Stoke Newington for the past 26yrs) too. No matter what, the most "dangerous" area is still saver than any "dangerous" area in the US.

man those abadoned houses in london are prob prices like half a mill. alot of the places are abadoned coz prices are so high it drains both people and local businesses

Hi Ryan. We experience a lot of shared humour/humor with you whilst watching your uploads. So thank you. We are a TINY island really. That is the British isles, and England is a small part of the whole. Sadly the report of certain parts being quite "rough" (as we say here) is normal. I was pleased to see you thought the area pleasant, which is mostly true...fresh food available & in no shortage (just expensive). Life seemingly quite usual. You are right. The thing which has people label the area a ghetto, or worse is the rife racism which exists here. You may NOT believe me about that, I assure you it is true. Too many Brits do not wish to share their town with outsiders. Back to being an island nation... those islanders fear invasion. We should by now welcome new cultures, new ways, new foods & new cultures. Being a nation that colonised other nations globally, I think the Brits take longer to assimilate to those they colonised for so long...thank you might believe. It is quite embarrassing. It is this xenophobic behaviour which we share with the USA. Racism is rife here in the UK, and it is shameful. So, an area with majority migrants/immigrants (which my opinion says we are ALL migrants/immigrants...if you know your history) is judged as an awful area to live, a rough area to live. Without the true recognition that those migrants communities are FAR BETTER AT COMMUNITY BEHAVIOUR than most Brits. I am sad to write such. Yet true, much as I hate the facts. Please keep posting new material, we laugh with you. Thanks for the channel 👍🏼

I live just outside Croydon, and no, it's not that bad. there are also crimes that result in deaths, but they are quite rare (perhaps once every 3-4 months).

I got out of Croydon 20 years ago......never regretted it one bit.

Sports guns (Hunting and Target shooting) Are common. As are Historical weapons (guns included obviously). As far as I'm aware, there are other types of guns allowed too, but, they have to be low calibre (.22). The bit that gets people into trouble is that the laws are very clear about the rules. You cannot just own one without a reason (self defence is most certainly not one!!). There are hoops you have to jump through, several of them in fact, but they are pretty straight forwards and easy to understand. Makes perfect sense really :)

I used to have an office in Croydon (while working for one of the UK's biggest banks) and while it wasn't my favourite place to go for work, because the shops were shit and architecture unpleasant, it never felt unsafe.

You think America has a drug problem with its nearly 350M population, well they are number 1 in consumption list and are super close to the source, The U.S.-Mexico border is 1,951 miles thats a lot to protect but at least you know which direction its coming in from,(south). Number 2 for consumption is the UK with around 70M population thats less then a quarter of the people but consume about the same amount each year, and the coastline of the United Kingdom is 11,073 miles 5 x larger and being an island means the drugs can come in from any direction.

Er… the UK has one of the toughest gun laws in Europe, if not the world. Handguns in civilian hands are outright prohibited with special permit requirements to even poses it. Long guns ownership is only possible through another type of permit, which is only granted on case by case for “legitimate” reason. Legitimacy being narrowly defined as work, sport or leisure. If someone gets caught with a firearm in their possession without a permit, they can be sentenced up to life in prison. The UK belief is that “firearms are dangerous weapons and the State has a duty to protect the public from their misuse.” Yet, their LEOs wear stab resistance vest just as the LEOs in the US wear bullet proof vest. I don’t see any “knives are dangerous weapons and the State has a duty to protect the public from their misuse,” though.

I grew up near croydon in the 70s/80s. We'd regularly go there on the train, shopping in the Whitgift, or just hanging about as kids/teenagers do. It was very different then, and we always felt safe. I can't think what's different now 🤔

Fun fact: In Soviet Poland (back days) it was actually illegal to be homeless even if you wanted to be by choice. Goverment would give you a place to live kinda forcefully.

A lot of the rubbish is due to fly-tipping. People who offer to get rid of your junk for a price, then drive it a couple of miles away and dump it on the street. Croydon council, is almost bankrupt, and is really struggling to keep on top of the problem. It used to rely a lot on business rates for public finance - but since lockdown much of the office space has remained empty.

Croydon isn't really that bad. I've lived in the area for about 12 years now. It does have its problems like anywhere but it's not completely rotten and does have some charm - mainly because of the people who live here. Hard working, diverse, pleasant, and with a great sense of humour. We know it's a bit rubbish, but we generally try to make the best of it. As with anywhere in London, a stark difference can be seen from one street to the next, and changes can be dramatic in a very short amount of time. These changes are usually positive, though not always. Not a borough, the only place I have felt uncomfortable and unsafe recently is Streatham of all places.

Hey Ryan, your videos worth to get watch, do you want a editor for advance video editing style.

Croydon is my Families hometown when I was a child I used to hear stories from the old family back to the 1700s Honestly this is the first time I have ever heard that Croydon has this reputation Cheers Ryan

I live in Coulsdon which is part of Croydon 1 day i was in vue cinemas at Croydon town centre we had go out from fire exit because their was a stabbing right near cinemas its absolutely shocking

I don’t quite know why Croydon has been particularly “picked on”. I live in the next borough to Croydon and spend a lot of time in Croydon and its suburb both day and night and generally feel safe, although as with any town/city there are areas that I wouldn’t walk around on my own at night. However Croydon does seem to have a disproportionate number of knife crimes including murders between young teenagers which may have generated this video. My subjective opinion and very happy to be proved wrong. The rubbish/trash issue is mainly down to idiots, most of what I saw in the video seemed recyclable. Plus Croydon like all UK areas is starved of central government funding and limited to what it can spend so can’t afford to tidy up rubbish, fix pot holes, look after its citizens etc. Roll on the next Government, well can Labour do better, hard to believe they can do any worse than the current lot.

Sherwood Road is my part of Croydon that I lived in Was it just me or were people talking in a similar accent to The Expanse Beltalowda language

i mean london is huge, so a small area that is dangerous at night, sure but most the times you wont see it or need to go there unless ur unlucky enough to live in that area. Croydon for example is a large area. many say its a bad area, but most of that comes from west croydon. go pretty much anywhere else in croydon and its a pretty nice area, some really nice areas down south or east croydon for example. You can pretty much live in croydon, shop in the center and never really experience any issues. Lots of this seems to be blown way out of context.

in the us, there are more guns than people... i think i meed to make small adjustments to a few zombie games

Whilst clearly the video showed issues with the waste collection in parts of the borough, and shopping areas that were not as vibrant a they once were, the area shown looked pretty typical for less wealthy areas of any city. I suspect the high crime areas are away from the High streets, and affect those involved in, or adjacent to, local gangs far more than the general local population.

Not worth it.

Yeah when I first saw the title I thought it was going to be you reacting to Londons dangerous rapper. So hood has more than one meaning. London has a high rate of knife crime people being stabbed and killed. I've been to Croydon several times when I was younger I didn't have any issues. Has a town centre with shops and two train stations either side. Maybe it's like they say you visit but you don't see the bad side. You have the city of London and then you have great London which is made up of loads of boroughs. Yeah because there are many different ethnic backgrounds living in the UK sometimes you might see a shop that sells food from a pacific country. Yeah some of the things that she says are scary I've seen in lots of places and it's not scary but but you might not actually go in there. Yeah they say one of the wealthiest countries in the world but don't feel like that. Yeah a lot of areas have closed up shops and places. Yeah a lot of UK towns are made up of like council estate and then houses which can range in varied prices to really expensive. So you can travel in places and never experience something like knife crime and then later go home and hear about it on the news. Sometimes there'll be a protest in one place it doesn't mean it would be everywhere in the UK. In some places like a supermarket car park you might find special types of bins to put things like clothes or some recyclable things. But if the bin is full up you better not put it next to the bin as you could be caught on camera doing it and thay could fine you money and considerate it littering. There are some areas with overgrown grass or flowers that may not get attended to by councils or who's responsible. The rubbish thing isn't an issue everywhere. Not everyone's house is designed where you can just have a rubbish bin take it out your house and put it out front and recent years they've changed and you have many different items you can put rubbish and recycling in from a rubbish can to a wheelie bin, Boxes, types of bags. Some types of bags you can't leave outside as animals may rip them open or high winds may blow them away. There is also this organisation in the UK called big issue which is a magazine. People don't have much money sell the magazines on the street corners or outside shops. I think you have to buy the magazines sell them make money and you get a percentage. But a lot of people were just avoid the pepole selling it. Yeah you focusing on the centres you need to see like council estates tower blocks. To sum up places can look okay but there are violent crimes happening in places. There are KZread videos about uk gangs, drugs, county lines the practice of trafficking drugs into rural areas and smaller towns, away from major cities. Also grime and drill music about some issues.

I'd call that a vacant lot, you can't abandon a piece of land. Can you?

Criminals aren't on the lookout 24/7 but they do exist. Gang crime definetly is a thing.

I lived in London for over twenty years, including seven in Hackney before the gentrification of East london, and I can honestly say I never, ever felt unsafe..any so called gang activity was kept amongst themselves and I brought up two sons safely and happily. Everything is comparative, I think the British are very spoilt in many ways and so what we perceive as dangerous is pretty mild..statistics are unreliable too, we class fairly innocuous, although unpleasant events, like spitting, as a violent crime..even if you threw a very ripe banana at someone that is also perceived as violent and so incidents like those get mixed in with really awful incidents like stabbings and inflate the figures. Horrible events can take place anywhere and everywhere, use your common sense in the UK and you will be fine. PS..the rubbish looked like it had been dumped by private property owners, this is called fly tipping and attracts a large time if caught...it's likely that it wasn't too long before the council cleared it up as it can attract rats thus causing a health hazard. 🙁✌🇬🇧

@@IdioticTrolling I think, or at least hope, that the majority of people know this. It's just a loud mouth minority of anti-gun activists, that hold a hysterical anti gun position. Be it because they are too young (read: ignorant about the issue) or they have their own agenda. They are even louder now thanks to the social media. Responsible legal gun owners are not the types that mow down anyone who slightly pisses them off. And there are enough of legal stops to even be able to obtain a permission to own gun(s) to begin with. Not that any criminal would care to go through them, they will get a gun anyway, or just use a different type of weapon.

TL;DR - Culture is the number one indicator of criminality. And I stand by my belief. Here’s the truth. Ethnically homogeneous and/or religious monism countries with effective policing and equal application of the law regardless of nepotism, corruption, or other social implications, trends toward lower crimes rate. That’s why Nordic countries and Japan have some of the lowest crime rates while countries like the United States, China, and Brazil are about middle of the pack. The US and some other “Western” nation, such as the UK, is full of nepotism, corruption, and let’s all be real, laws are sometimes not applied due to social implication in the effort to appear “fair” to appease a certain group of people. While countries like Venezuela, Afghanistan, and South America governmental corruptions and failure contributed to a breakdown in civil order through ineffective policing and social disorganization at a fundamental level. It really has nothing to do with gun control, government ideology, or population size. Examples of gun control. Look at the United States cities with some of the toughest gun control laws have the most prevalent gun violence crimes. Example of government ideology. Compare the United States (Constitution Republic) to China (Communism) to Russia (let’s all be honest on this - a federal semi-presidential republic under an authoritarian dictatorship), even with vastly different ideas on how a government should be run, the crimes index of all three countries is comparable. Why do I say culture is the issue? The most perfect example is Black Culture and its export to other countries. Another example is the Muslim Extremist Culture also being exported. So named but has nothing to do with race or religion but the idea both culture embodied in their core beliefs and the people that embraced those ideas.
