London's "No-Go" areas.

[philkensebben]

Acid threat? I think its reasonably likely you could buy tabs of acid in all of those areas.

I lived in Cricklewood for about a year, right smack bang between 2 mosques. To be perfectly honest, I barely noticed them. The only time I saw any activity, was an occasional gathering of worshippers on a Friday afternoon.

Just to add to the consensus, I have walked through many of those parts of London without any fear.

Ironically, one of the few places I don’t feel fully safe is parts of Sydney’s CBD due to the sometimes threatening antics of beggars/homeless people.

The area I worked in was a place called Kronogården in the smallish town of Trollhättan.

If it's not full of rocky skyscrapers and magical creatures, I don't want to know.

 

[catsmate]

That is definitely unfair on most Americans.

Trumpettes and Fail Readers, both of whom are idiots.

Yes I suppose so; my apologies.
Dumber USAians, Trump supporters and such.

 

[CORed]

indeed, these acid-throwers are pikers and craven cowards compared to them! It's time to bring back REAL criminals!

Yes, criminals like Doug and Dimdsdale Pirhana.

London Cop Tells LBC: "There Are No-Go Areas"

You know, when people who actually live there are telling you it's a load of nonsense, you might want to consider the possibility that the sources you've been getting your "information" from are the ones that are full of crap.

 

[I Am The Scum]

Idiots, USAians and Fail readers.

So you're telling me there aren't any elephants in the castle?

 

[malbui]

I’m going be over in London the week after next and I can see it’s changed a lot since I used to live there. How tooled up do you recommend I go?

Take a contactless bank card. I just read that you're expected to pay bus fares that way, though it was a satirical article. Tofu will be welcomed, as will avocados. Don't expect eye contact, let alone chat, on The Tube - people need their personal space. It's a hostile city these days.

Never mind elephants, there isn't even a castle.

Lies! Lies! Lies!

Is that Bilbo?
We once ate at a restaurant called "Elephant and Castle". It was in a shopping mall. A Canadian chain, I think, although this one was a little south of the border.

I've seen that image as a joke answer to a Quora question asking where the no go areas are. I think the joke went over certain heads.

I smiled more than I should have.

That’s not an elephant! It’s fake gnu.

 

[MikeG]

That's irrelevant.

No, that's not an elephant, that's a hippopotamus:

It’s fake gnu.

 

[Mojo]

A gnother gnu?

Incidentally, I saw a very informative Twitter thread yesterday. Apparently Paddington and Soho have also been designated as no-go areas.

You really ought to know whose were who.
