London 2025 is a Nightmare …

London 2025 is a Nightmare …

Hello everybody and welcome to our moldy hellhole 
of an accommodation here in central London. Well, we’re actually in the east end, the old 
east end of London and Tower Hamlets,   which is one of the most dangerous areas 
to be in London. We didn’t realize that, unfortunately, until we booked this place. But 
today, we’re going to show you the reality of London in 2025. Through our eyes, there’s going 
to be no filters, no crap, no fluff. This is where we’re staying. £75 a night. You have a 
shared kitchen which is basically entirely made of black mold. And then you have very narrow 
hallways. We’ll bring you inside the the room itself just so you can have a look. Now, it’s 
a bit of a mess cuz we just checked in there, but have a look. Wow. 75. Great British pounds per 
night for this. It’s basically a box room that is uh smells of cigarettes. But let’s go outside. 
Let’s go out to the streets of London and see. Expectations are not very high to be honest.   Now, in preparation of leaving the house in 
London, you want to remove all jewelry, everything that you love and hold dearly to yourself, hide 
it away, and make sure to close all of your bags. Yeah. Yeah. Because of the timeline of events, 
we’re very, very likely going to post the actual protest first. But this now is our very first 
day in London. And let me tell you something, I am terrified to be here. We traveled so many 
countries, lots of them dangerous as well. But this really takes the cake. I never wanted to 
come to England. I was never interested in coming here because I know it’s a dangerous place. And 
uh well, this is our very first impressions. Uh uh hello. Are you okay? I don’t have nuts. 
I’m sorry. You all right? You okay? No way. No way. James, what are you doing? We don’t want 
to here. Probably asking yourself, why the hell are these guys staying in East End? Well, we did 
very little research and we’re also traveling on a budget. Obviously, we spent most of our travel 
so far in Asia. And if you don’t want to spend 150 to 500 plus pounds per night, you have to 
come to some of the uh lesser privileged areas, I guess. So, this is just what it is. We’re 
already seemingly in a not so nice area, but we’re going to show you the good, the bad, and the ugly, 
I guess, of our experience while we’re here. We’re   only in London for a very short time. Um the main 
reason being for the 13th, but yeah, we’re going to show it as it is. This what I’m doing right now 
is something that you have to be very careful of while being in London. Phone snatching is a huge 
thing. There’s literally gangs that operate here in London. That will snatch the phone clean out 
of your hand. So, I have a cross body bag with me today strapped closely around my chest and I’m 
going to be basically taking it in and out as we go. But yeah, it’s a shame when you have to think 
about these types of things. We had to take off all of our jewelry. We both have wedding rings. 
I have a nice watch. All of that stuff can’t come with us as we go out to explore the streets of 
London today. So, we made it to Stephanie Green. And believe it or not, we wanted to take the 
underground from Stephanie towards the center of London, but there’s strikes on the underground. 
So, there’s actually no trains running at the moment. So, the stations themselves are quite 
literally empty. Now, this seems to be a pretty old station. It’s actually quite cool looking 
from the outside, but it looks rather desolate, but there’s nobody actually using these stations 
because strikes are on conveniently, perfectly timed uh right around the time of the the protests 
that are happening during the weekend. So, what we’re going to do today is basically just walk 
going to walk from east end. So from Stephanie from my end towards the center of London and 
yeah, we’re going to be on foot basically all day documenting the whole experience. So, that’s 
going to make it probably even more interesting   cuz we’re not going to be taking uh public 
transport because we can’t I was just going to talk about how interesting this is that they have 
a ATM built into an old phone box and it’s just been completely defaced and you’ve got different 
stuff all over it from the the Palestine crowd to the pee pe poo poo man. It’s an interesting little 
thing. You don’t see these things in Ireland. We made it to White Chapel. I’m not going to lie 
to you guys, man. Out of every 20 people, like out of every 20 people that we walk past, maybe two of 
them are actually English. It’s a bit of a shock. Uh, we see videos like we saw videos online about 
how bad the situation is here in London, but I didn’t realize like the actual extent. It’s it’s 
a mad situation. This doesn’t look any different. This area here with the markets, all of this 
stuff here. Now, these have probably been here   for quite a long time. I don’t know. Uh the last 
time the last time that I was in London would have been in 2016. So it’s quite a while ago. But these 
markets here, man, this looks like we just dropped ourselves into a slightly more developed, slightly 
cleaner India or Bangladesh somewhere like that. No, if you go to Delhi, you want to see 
Indian culture. If you go to Shanghai, you want to see Chinese culture. If you go to 
England, at least in London, from a tourist perspective, it’s quite difficult to find people 
of English ethnicity. And I’m actually I’m saying this really quietly because I’m scared that 
somebody’s going to try to hit me, basically, which uh I’ve never been scared like this while 
filming videos. Usually, uh, I’m quite open and I speak quite loudly and I don’t self center with 
sensor. But in this area here, my god, try and find an English person. Just one. Ah, there’s 
a lady here that might be of English descent. Holy. This is what you get when it’s taken a 
little bit too far. I suppose [Music] if you want to buy scarfves, 
hijab, those types of things, White Chapel seems to be the place for you. 
They also have typical uh English food as well. You’ve got shawarma. You’ve got halumi, 
beetroot, beetroot, and feta. Beef schwarma, chicken schwarma. It’s all halal as well. So, uh, 
right in line with the the history of England, I want to say they’ve got falafel, too. Very 
typical English food. You can get four for £10 as well. Wow. An absolute bargain, isn’t 
it? Good bargain. Super bargain. Not bad. [Music] So that’s the the language that’s being used in 
England now. I always thought it was English coming from Ireland where we used 
to speak Irish and now we speak English. I’ve never seen this changed. I’ve never 
seen this in Europe. This is insane. Usually in other European countries, the sign 
would be English, French, you know, maybe Italian or German. This is insane. I don’t even know 
what it is to be honest. It seems to be like uh maybe Hindi or Tamil. Anyways, the strike 
that we were talking about is actually seems to be taking place from about 1000 p.m. I 
think I got it wrong. There’s a sign here. So, from then on, you basically need to to 
figure out the buses. But that’s all right.   We’re going to walk anyways cuz I think I’m 
enjoying walking around here right now. The larger trains seem to be operating some of them, 
but the underground seems to be entirely out and then just kind of certain trains are operating. 
But, you know, very convenient at a very good   timing when lots of people are going to come 
to London for the strike uh for the protest, not for the strike. Got the famous Gregs. Maybe 
I can like run inside and snatch up a sausage roll and walk out. Seen loads of videos where 
people just walk in here, grab everything that they want and walk out and don’t pay. And no 
one seems to have a problem with it. Breaks. One of the biggest things that I’m actually 
noticing walking past all of the shops here is that none of the sales clerks, the sales 
assistants, literally none of them are actually of English descent. It’s insane to see just kind 
of, you know, if you’re thinking about like a society and how it operates with each other, 
like, you know, usually you would have kind of, you know, whatever mom and pop shop on the corner 
that you trust, that your family went to for, you know, decades or whatever. That just 
doesn’t seem to exist here. It’s just all in foreign hands from the look of it. And lots of 
and lots of the products that you can buy around here are actually the same products that we were 
able to buy in India or in Sri Lanka or you know China or wherever. It’s really crazy to see. I 
I came here thinking well obviously I had my own little bias and stereotypes obviously common 
here because I’ve seen lots and lots of it in the news but I didn’t know how far the entire 
situation has been taken and I thought that I would be able to see like a little bit of English 
culture or experience whatever that means but no chance some more typical English food here a 
whole assortment Jalibbe. Jalibi, baby. Wow. Wow. You’ve got everything. This looks to be like 
a proper mixture of loads of different parts of India. Don’t get me wrong, I actually love Indian 
food. I’m a big big fan. But wow, this is mad. I don’t even really need to talk to 
her. I’m just going to let it roll.   Wow, look at these dresses, man. Very uh quintessentially British. You’ve got a typical mural here where you’ve got 
Tamil and it’s in the Tamil colors as well. It’s actually kind of similar enough colors to like 
Tamil Tigers or something like that. Brick Lane   EI. And then underneath you’ve got more Tamil 
as well. And this is the SAR squad. Our ideas are better than yours. I really don’t think so. 
Yes, guys. So, we made it to Brick Lane. And believe it or not, they have all of the authentic 
British food here. You’ve got Indian kitchen, Bangladeshi kitchen. You have a Bengal village 
which is again I believe somewhere in northern India. It’s finest Indian cuisine there, the 
yellow one. And the green one is a balty house as well. And then you also have a Turkish or 
an Indian uh barber shop as well there. So you’ve got everything that you could need. 
And don’t worry, across the road as well, you have an international supermarket. All of the 
things that accurately represent where we are. We have indeed made it to the brick lane 
masid. I have not seen, surprisingly enough, I have not seen uh the church. Man, this is 
a different world. Honestly, you can see the street sign probably up there. I’ll try and 
zoom it in for you guys. But wow. Ah, yes. the anarchist book fair in London because lawlessness 
is exactly what London needs right now. I have to say these old Victorian Georgian style houses as 
well. Some of them are absolutely gorgeous. Well, we made it to Christ Church Spittle Fields. And 
believe it or not, well, it’s not actually hard to believe, but it’s closed because England 
is very, very far removed from Christianity, it seems. This church is quite literally only 
open one day a week, and that is on Sundays for some services. But every other day of the week, 
this beautiful building is closed. What a shame. Just across the road from this beautiful 
chapel here, we’ve got the 10 bells, which looks like a proper English pub. 
So, I think we’re going to go inside   and get ourselves a little bit of lunch here. All 
right. So, apparently they don’t have electricity in the pub. The tills and card machines and 
everything else are down at the moment. So, we’re going to go in and have a look at the 
Spittlefields Market. That’s a shame about that pub. We were hoping to get like our first 
authentic sort of English cultural experience, maybe have a nice crispy beer, some English 
pub food. This is Spittlefields Market. Let’s have a look, shall we? Can I 
try? Thank you. so much. Thank you. It’s like a buttery naan bread. Spillfields 
Market has been around since I think 1600s maybe. Proper old place. And you can see it the way it’s 
constructed in these proper beautiful red brick houses here along the side. And it’s actually 
massive. And you’ve got loads of sort of modern places that are built into it. Loads of different 
stalls that are selling things like donuts and coffee and pancakes and pizza, everything else 
in between. Inside the Spittlefields Market, you’ve got the Merchant and Weaver. Now, I 
have no idea about the history of this pub,   but we’re going to sit down and try some 
traditional English food. We finally found some fish and chips and plowman’s lunch and a 
couple of different bits and bobs that seem to   be actually English. So, let’s do it. Right. So, 
an Irish man drinking a pint of Guinness here in London. I’ve never had Guinness in London. And 
this is going to be my first point of beer here while we’re here as well. £8. So, £8 for a 
point of beer. I don’t know if that’s good or bad or somewhere in between, but it’s 
pretty damn expensive. Let’s try it out. I didn’t even get close to splitting the G, 
but that’s actually not half bad. It’s cold, creamy. Not bad at all. For 
eight pounds, it’s pricey, but where we are in the middle of Spittlefields 
Market, I guess is to be expected. [Music] I hate Guinness. Now, for lunch, I ordered 
a plowman’s dinner. Lunch. Plowman’s lunch. Plowman’s lunch. If I was to read it, I would 
have said Plman’s. It’s the Pluffman’s lunch. It’s a pie with some chutney. Proper pork pie. 
Proper pork pie. Never had a pork pie in my life. This is the very first time. Putting some chutney 
on it, I guess. I don’t know. Oh, it’s cold. I thought this was going to be warm. It’s very good, 
though. Very nice. Actually, surprisingly nice. Chutney is I think um like on onions and maybe   some apples or something like that. 
Some nice blue cheese in there too. It’s been so long since we had proper blue cheese. 
Loads of different types. Like I think there’s two   different types of cheese in there. And then 
you’ve got sourdough bread as well next to the pork pie and some apple. It looks amazing. Wow. 
That’s actually really tasty. All of the people out there that always say that England doesn’t 
have any good food. I think this is pretty good   food. Yeah. Pork pie. We have You can’t come 
to England and not try one of those. And you also can’t come to England and not try a fish and 
chips. So, we went for the traditional fish and chips. There’s actually like a big construction 
project that seems to be happening at the moment. somewhere above us right now. So, we 
apologize if there’s any construction sounds,   but we’ve got proper fish and 
chips here. Nice homemade chips, too. Tartar sauce and mushy peas. Try 
some of that tartar sauce with a chip. Wow. I’ve missed. Look at 
the quality of this fish. Real fresh battered cod go into the tartar sauce as well. Look at this. That’s 
the money shot right there. That’s unbelievable. Fish and chips. Point the 
Guinness. What more could you want? Mushy peas. Never been a fan of peas. These are actually 
decent. What do mushy peas taste like? This peas. Is it literally just squashed 
peas? Squash peas. Can I try? Yeah. Yeah. What’s the problem with normal peas? I 
mean, it’s good. It’s peas. But like, why are they mushy? Total cost for all 
of this food, £17 for the fish and chips, I think it’s £15 for the plumbman’s 
lunch, £8 for my Guinness, and then I think maybe 2 or3 for the diet coke. Four 
pound for the diet coke. It’s a pricey meal, but it’s good food though. Some ASMR on that 
fish. This is top quality fish. Very, very fresh. I think it’s actually worth the money. And the 
tartar sauce just takes it to the next level. Very, very good fuel for the rest of our day here. The iconic red buses. Something that a lot of 
people come for the red buses. The red foam boots, the black cabs. This is England. 
Very nice. Backdropped as well by this crazy looking building. I don’t 
even know what this is. We made it to   the Tower Hill Memorial. World War II 
Navy Memorial. Check this place out. It’s beautiful men and women 
who passed away in the Navy, British Navy. Their names all the way up and down. Beautifully preserved. Absolute heroes. who died 
defending these people died defending England and nowadays people encourage there’s a lot of 
people that are actually encouraging people to spill across the border into this country and 
now without an even without one single bullet being fired it feels like it’s a very very changed 
city I can tell you that much the area where we’re staying doesn’t feel like you’re in England. 
The areas that we’re in now, it’s a little bit more touristy. You can see the vast majority of 
people that we come across are American tourists or tourists from other parts of the world. 
It’s a sad state of affairs and to be able to be here and see the names of these people who 
died defending this country, it’s just quite sad. On this side you actually have the first world 
war. So 1914 till 1918. And then on the other side you have the second world war. Now this 
is all people that served on Navy ships. And it actually also explains why they have the puppies 
here. Because puppies is usually a sign for the first world war and Flanders Fields where of 
course the English, the Belgians, the French and so on fought the Germans and the grounds here of 
the memorial itself absolutely stunning. Perfect. It’s gorgeous. It’s kind of in the center, I 
guess, of a Citizen M hotel over there. And uh couple of other interesting buildings around 
here, too. Like this one up here. I’m not too sure what that is to be honest. Looks like a statue of 
a Greek god or something like that up there. Now I actually got it. So this rondelle here is Second 
World War. So 39 till 45. And then the straight hall across is 19 World War 1914 till 1918. So 
this here is World War I and behind me here is World War II. Wow. It wasn’t entirely obvious at 
the entrance. Had a little bit. Yes. There’s a a homeless gentleman over there on the bench in the 
World War Memorial. That’s an interesting contrast to the modern state of affairs here in London. But 
nonetheless, have a look at this. It’s beautiful. This bench here says to the memory of Lieutenant 
Colonel General J. Stevens, TD, late President of Ye Old Musketeers Club in recognition of his 
services to charity in the 11th of March 1971. So many wars have been fought all over Europe. So 
much blood was shed. But coming from an Irish and a German in England, we kind of feel like this 
is the year or kind of like the last few years are the years where we as Europeans really need 
to come together and start working together and uh start defending our home country, if I 
may say so, cuz it kind of feels like we’re losing our traditions and we’re losing 
our origin. story. Step by step to the point where nobody will remember anymore 
and that would be very very devastating. [Music] Adopt a few children or what? Made it to the tower 
bridge. the iconic Tower Bridge of course. And uh from here it looks like you can take lots of 
different sort of water taxis uh tames water taxis and you can also of course see the river itself 
but it’s kind of very brown and lots of garbage is swimming around here and it’s proper filter. It’s 
proper dirty. But you do have a nice view sort of over the skyline of London itself. And then 
over here you also have a large warship that now is a museum which I believe is from Belfast. So 
generally a cool place to come to and you can sort of walk along here the pier and uh then probably 
over there or over the tower bridge itself cross over to the other side. Of course you can take 
a bus but walking is kind of nicer I think   especially when you have a little bit of nice 
weather going which is very rare in this area. So, you definitely have to use it the second that the 
sun comes out. This type of stuff, by the way, I think is really disgraceful. There’s a lot of 
homeless people in London. But if you are homeless and it’s raining like it is right now, they’ve 
got these things here and they actually stop they’re made to stop homeless people from sleeping 
under the shelter, which man, that is not nice. The London Wall dates back to about 200 AD 
all the way back towards the Roman Empire. The history in this city is unbelievable. 
Tower of London in the back as well. Very beautiful. Although the weather not so much. 
In typical English fashion, we’re stuck. We are literally stuck in the side of the road now. 
Torrential downpour. Oh man, this is grim. Oh, nasty. Right, everybody. So, we made it back to 
our rundown flat in East End of London. And we just wanted to quickly put a cap on this video. We 
got caught in the rain yesterday. We had to come back and dry ourselves off. But London, Europe, 
the whole situation, it doesn’t feel good right now. It actually feels like it’s sort of at a 
boiling point. And this is the whole reason why   we decided to come back and start making these 
types of videos. These types of videos are not intended to turn up the temperature or do anything 
to the temperature of the situation. We are simply here to record and show the actual reality of what 
it’s like on the ground. London doesn’t feel safe. It doesn’t feel like the English people are 
getting the treatment that they deserve as natives of the country that they’re in. It’s a 
very shameful situation that this country is in. And we think that it is absolutely currently at 
a vital turning point in England and in Europe with the recent assassination on Charlie Kirk. 
It’s changed everything and we can feel it and uh everybody around us I think can feel it 
as well. the people that we are speaking to   um online and in person. My own family, our 
families, we can all feel it. It’s not a nice situation to be in right now. It’s all being done 
on purpose in our opinion. Uh people are coming in. Our culture, our traditions and everything 
along those lines are being changed very very rapidly. Uh cultures are being basically slowly 
but surely eradicated. We have left behind the traditional values of Christianity which England 
was founded upon. English flag, the St. George’s flag, the Union Jack. The Irish flag represents 
the unity between Catholics and Protestants of Christianity. All of the flags in the continent of 
Europe represent Christianity for the most part. Most of them do. And it is just a sad uh situation 
that’s currently happening. And that’s the reason why we’re making these videos. So, if you do 
appreciate it, if you are someone who is worried about the current situation, you’re probably going 
to want to stick around here uh with our channel because we’re going to be one of the few channels 
that are going to just openly speak about what’s going on. This isn’t about color. This isn’t about 
religion. This is about the situation that we are worried about right now. And we actually need 
to do the opposite of dividing people further. We need to come together. We need to go hand 
in hand together forward uh with hope uh for the future of this continent of the country of 
England, the country of Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, all of the great countries 
in Europe need to band together peacefully. Let our voices be heard. Don’t be afraid. And we hope 
you enjoyed this video. There’s much more to come.

Is this really London in 2025? We just arrived here and we can’t believe this is London, England. This is our first time in London and we can say with certainty that the nicer parts of the UK are in the countryside.
