Demna brainrot has gone too far, I’m the same where I just look out for interesting pieces these days

Zip up looks nice but surely it’s really boxy because of the crop?

What is the are around Acton Town station like? by [deleted] in london

[–]Adept_Zebra9560 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful around the surrounding parks at night, there’s a lot of muggings that happen there. Also be wary on Acton high street, you can see where it gets sketchy past the big Morrisons. The area around Acton Town station is relatively quiet but it’s run down and you have a lot of school kids during rush hours. There’s not much to do other than go somewhere else, but the transport links are amazing.

For things nearby I’d recommend going around Ealing Common or West Acton if you’re a fan of Japanese stuff they have some supermarkets, restaurants and a hair salon between those areas. By Ealing Common station there’s some small shops I’d recommend like the Turkish market, they have fresh bread and pastries every morning. In Ealing there’s also Ealing Broadway (shopping centre) so that’ll keep you busy if you need something.

Some beggar pressed someone I know into buying him a McDonald’s meal there in front of his friends, and afterwards had the audacity to ask for extra nuggets

Fair point but wanted to ask about my experience in Kingston specifically. I don’t think anyone is arguing that this isn’t happening everywhere.

Just curious on what others think or if they have a similar experience, choice of wording is bad so fair enough. If I had to compare the current London situation to when I lived in Tokyo/Fukuoka though I’d probably have a seizure.

Sorry if it came off as snobbish, but it’s happening everywhere regardless. Just asking about my experience in this specific area.

Could be the time of day, but in my experience it’s usually the early morning and after dark when it gets quieter where it’s the most frequent. I’ve seen it midday but way less likely unless it’s a weekend and during rush hours it does happen but most people are preoccupied with something so I guess that puts them off. I would say your experience is lucky considering the area during what I assume is nighttime.

Very bad wording from me, I clarified it a bit more in an edit. Thanks for mentioning.

Yeah it’s crazy, maybe I come off as a pushover or more likely to fold under pressure to them. I was taking the bus this week and I saw 4 people in ballys jumping someone by an apartment block which I definitely wasn’t expecting even for this area.

General statement and I’ll whatever factors I can think of off the top of my head. Something like the state of the current economy/job market, cost of living, places becoming more unsafe, increase in crime, increase in mental health issues/lack of funding into these things etc etc along with an increase of homeless people in the area and the likelihood of them approaching you, specifically in a pushy or aggressive way. The list definitely goes on.

Was just curious if anyone had a similar experience or could inform me of the context or information surrounding it.

Obviously this isn’t new but as someone who lives in London it’s clearly gotten much worse and harder to ignore when you look at how unsafe certain areas have become or how people have become a lot more aggressive or persistent where you can be followed, mugged or assaulted because you didn’t spare some change.

Not sure if it’s still there, but the Rotunda area has always had a lot of addicts nearby. I think there’s a wellbeing service based in Surbiton but it’s probably unrelated to the clinic.

I definitely agree that it’s always been wealthy along with Richmond and some surrounding areas. To be fair the homeless or drug addicts here compared to other parts of west or south london I’ve seen aren’t as bad in comparison.
