Your mate walking round with the camera on a stick 🤣 he’s clearly not done what you do! You can’t walk into a rough pub with a camera on a stick and expect to be welcomed!

And then order half a fosters ...😂

[@JD-wn3cc]

I get your point but that said, the other guy is Wendall and he does similar stuff and a good number of subscribers.

[@jacobbok7902]

tell your mate stop being so obnoxious with his camera, he's making it obvious he recording everyone ruining your vibe and the vibe of people around you.

[@ds.3577]

Wendell has twice the subscribers he should know better😂

[@johnnymcnoodle27]

Every time you prove that the ordinary people of the UK are awesome. Love it, respect to Wendal too, love his stuff on Benidorm.

[@honestplaces]

Just gotta get out there and mingle. Yeh Wendall is a sound wingman 👍🍺

[@steglash4045]

And shrinkflation, the juice that I buy Is usually 1L ...for the same price the carton got smaller, it's now 955ml, so the scavvy choadsters have robbed me out of 5% of juice, I want justice !

Cheers pal. Really appreciate it 👍

When you walked down the market on whitechapel road, on the other side was the hospital which had a famous patient Joseph Carey Merrick nicknamed The Elephant Man due to his physical deformaties.

Nice to see you near my neighbourhood. Tower Hamlets is a mix of rich and poor. If you want to try the nice pubs, one day you should do a riverside pub crawl, start from limehouse and walk until st. Katherine's docks.

[@catherinefranklin9128]

Another good video.Great to have the two of you out and about together.I 've always found London pubs to be the friendliest in the world anyway 👍

[@Zpeter84.]

Yes you found a few dodgy pubs the worst was the one you got told to leave from the way that guy looks at you when you walked in reminds me of early eighties in Liverpool if your a stranger they let you know just by looking at you great video

[@properitum9091]

Lived in the area for 15 years up until 2017.In that time we lost 16 'proper pubs in less than a mile radius. You walked past the end of Cable Street - that has also lost all its pubs (I think there were 8 when I moved there). There are hardly any left on the Isle of Dogs now either. You did well to find the ones you did, there aren't many left! Surprise you didn't try the two at Chrisp St Market while you were there - they are exactly the type you were looking for. Been in all those shown here. Know the Crown well and the White Hart & Blind Beggar - did you know there used to be two other pubs there - one next to the White Hart and another on the opposite corner next to the Blind Beggar? As for 'rough' - never saw a single incident and spent many a happy hour mixing with the locals. Gawd I miss London! KP

[@NorthernExposure1]

Top vid, good to the connection with Wendall

[@mickman0073]

Takes me back, Mile End, Whitechapel, Aldgate and the Roman (road).. Visits to the toy museum, vicky etc.. Nice video... Now for a cheeky indoors pint..Cheers pal..

It’s funny how you pointed out Troxy as you was out drinking. It was actually built in the 1933 on an old brewery site ironically for £250,000 around £18m today. Cinema and stage performances with some famous comedians and singers/bands entertaining there.

I remember going through this area once, didn’t really find it that rough, but yet again it was during the day

[@jackpayne4658]

Interesting what the PC said about the Isle of Dogs. I knew an old guy who grew up in Stepney in the 1930s. He said that locals always talked about 'the island' as if it was a remote and scary place.

[@ElToro2000UK]

Be sure to visit the Kray family plot up at Chingford Mount Cemetery (Go in through the cemetery gate, opposite the Church and walk straight ahead for probably 1/4 mile and where there is a sharp right hand bend in the road, the Kray plot is in front of you, slightly to the right). Beware, whilst you are there, you will feel like you are being watched (It has a proper feel about the place)! You'll get a good view of London from up there too!! 🔭

[@manofthehour6759]

Love your channel.. funnily enough I'm in London for a week at end of May.. Sadly my relatives don't drink and they would frown upon me wanting to enter a pub😂😂😂.. would have been great to have a pint with you.

[@daveyeddie8176]

Columbia rd is very canny in tower hamlets, i know ur looking for rough pubs but the pubs there are salt of the earth, there is a pub called the Birdcage, and the Queen Vic in eastenders was modelled on it, i lived in a place called old market square, next to Columbia Rd for seven months some while ago, the flat is valued now at £465,000. Up north were I'm from, it would cost about 90k for that type of property, just thought i would share a bit of info with the viewers. Cheers.

[@chrisgoodman5712]

The crown it's a decent pub, but very much for the locals, my dad's old local. Landlords never changed been there since I was a kid, recently went back still remember me nearly 20 years later

[@honestplaces]

Yeh deffo a locals vibe there. Seemed welcoming though

This was a trip down memory lane for me watching this. I used to go to TROXY for DNB raves back in the day before the ticktock generation ruined it. Love the video. You should spread out towards Essex while your in the London area maybe film in places like Dagenham

One you missed around the back of Commercial Rd which can highly recommend for proper proper East London regulars is The Prince Regent! Just around the corner to the pub you went in The Crown! Was also in the film Big Fat Gypsy Gangster! Definitely not a hipster gentrification generation pub😂

@@honestplaces To be honest I really liked it, I used to live close to a small park (King Edward Memorial Park). I could see Canary Wharf from there, sitting by the Thames River and it was also few minutes walk to a Shadwell station. I had few places I liked to take a walk, literally few minutes walk from the place I used to live. I was unfortunately forced to move away from there due to one particular person I will not mention here. I moved then close Mile End, did not stay long there as I went through a bit of nightmare again due to another person (roommate) I barely knew. I then moved to Woodford/Woodford Green and lived there amazing 4 years, no issues at all, got some help from wonderful people as I helped a bit too, it was really amazing place to live. I moved out of London eventually, lived in London slightly more than 10 years. I moved out of Tower Hamlets once, but years later went back for another 4 years, living with Japanese people that were amazingly kind and warm. I lived 1 year in Japan too.
