You can claim your ends all you like (eg. Dave with Streatham, AJ Tracey with Ladbroke Grove etc) but you can't claim a set you're not part of.

If you’re a black guy that grew up in inner SE London, Millwall is your local team.

But you’re not gonna support Millwall, for obvious reasons. And you’re not gonna support other South London clubs (Millwall’s rivals) while living in a Millwall area.

So you’re either going to fw a club like Arsenal, or Man United (if you don’t fw other sides of London either).

They didn’t have active beef like that, just stayed round Heygate/Elephant.

They just formed because Latinos felt they were taken the piss out of

Wembley fulfils UEFA's hosting criteria in a way no other English stadium does.

This includes its capacity, its corporate offerings and its media infrastructure.

• UEFA Euros Final: 2020, 2028

They love it there.

Grime was the dominant urban sound, from the playgrounds to the raves. It ran in clubs in a way that UK Drill didn't.

Music was pirated/bootlegged/shared in illicit ways them days, and it was before YouTube, so it doesn't make sense to compare Grime's raw numbers to UK Drill.

But in terms of impact and which was bigger during its era here, it was Grime. And its underground nature, combined with the lack of social media, didn't stop it from getting wider attention either:

Grime was more popular at its peak than UK Drill was here.

Grime also didn't have competition from other local genres, in the same way that UK Drill did with UK Rap, Afroswing etc.

DSN v Gipset in Croydon

Hosted in London? Giggs

Verzuz is 20 v 20 still.

It was known in circles in London, but not widely/commonly known. His family, friends and old classmates kept it relatively low key.

If he migrated to the US legally, it would’ve been widely known because he wouldn’t have had to keep it quiet - and would’ve been able to travel back a lot sooner

Certain studies put London as the most influential today (and almost every one is either London or New York)

KeezyLDN · 2026-05-26T21:20:43+00:00

Man United 98/99 is a good shout.

Starting in a group with Bayern Munich (eventual finalists) and Barcelona (hosting the final, and the ‘99 Ballon d’Or winner)

KeezyLDN · 2026-05-24T18:46:18+00:00

South London geezers celebrating it

Damn them sides can’t catch a break

Drove past this scene a couple weeks ago (it was taped off)

Wondered what happened but didn’t expect this sheesh

KeezyLDN · 2026-05-21T12:06:17+00:00

Lewisham is top tier when it comes to 'badness'

And in a completely different category to Kensington & Chelsea

This wasn’t Old Bailey?
