As the only Londoner on this forum, I think I know London better than all off you.
There are now more Muzzies than Christians it should really be renamed Londionstan.
Sorry mate, you may be my friend but I still have to call you out when you are wrong and you are wrong.The "Muslim takeover of London" has been very much overstated and exaggerated,especially by Americans.
Interesting that none of those who are moaning about London's diverse culture either live there
Very good point.I live here and I know the reality.
Londionstan
An overused Americanism.London is multicultural but not dominated by Muslims.It depends on what part of London you go to,some areas are Jewish, some Greek,some Turkish, some Polish you get all sorts in this huge city!
I'll be never be able to think of Richmond as anywhere but Surrey.
Strange,as a lifelong Londoner I have always regarded Richmond as even more London than Harrow or Wembley,given it's proximity to central London and the constant aircraft noise from planes landing at Heathrow!!
I spent a couple of weeks in July doing some stuff by Wembley Park. It felt like Dubai with all the 20 story buildings and crowds everywhere.
My warehouse was(Still is, though I know longer own it) on the Wembley Industrial Estate close to Wembley Stadium and Arena.This area has changed beyond all recognition! It was always a very mixed race area with many Black and Asian people but when I was young the white population were dominant,mainly British, Irish and Jewish.When Idi Amin kicked the Indians out of Uganda that all changed.Most of the refugees came to Wembley and Harrow.The result was that Wembley became largely Hindu Indian and then the war in Sri Lanka brought many Tamils to Wembley too.The Indians and Tamils are mainly Hindus though many Tamils are Catholic.We don't get any problems from either of these groups.If you look across the disgusting Wembley High Road you will see many dark skinned faces, both Asian and Afro Caribbean, but most of these people were British born and bred.Wembley also has a very large Polish and East European population, besides the Poles, there are many Romanians,Bulgarians and Slowaks.Which means we have some amazing food shops here!
As for the building work, it is unbelievable!They have turned this area into a mini New York but done nothing to improve roads for the inevitable increase in traffic!
The only big downside to the area are the Somalians........mainly lazy,not working or doing minimal work......and there are quite a lot of them.....
Ealing Road is "Little India" with loads of Indian shops selling clothes,jewelry and food plus restaurants.There is a small mosque at the top of Ealing Road and a large Hindu Temple at the bottom of it.
I think Wembley is a blast! But I couldn't live there..............Luckily I live in a suburb that is much quieter than Richmond or Hampstead but still with a tube station and red double decker buses,that is to say, still in London!
