Influencers Damage Rich Neighbourhood! | Notting Hill swarming with tiktokers!

[@monicapatton1405]

He shouldn’t have to change the color of his house. It’s his house.

[@absolutelyridiculous6743]

Right?? 🤣

[@13grapehead]

Exactly! The fact that some people voted for him to move 💀 the entitlement !

[@ulrikesextro4187]

People should be allowed to fence their properties. Maybe it would be soäufficient to put ugly signs in their Windows just to ruin the background for those influencers.

[@stinks7065]

Literally! Why should these people have to change the way their properties look, or MOVE because other people can't behave and treat these properties and their residents with respect? It's not gonna solve the issue, it's just gonna make it someone else's problem.

[@kszoknyik]

Exactly. Also who voted move out?! It's his home!

[@SpiffyPenguin]

Imagine the people who really think "Just move" is a proper response. These people are trespassing and damaging someone's private property.

[@AlterEgo373]

I vote we can go to their houses!!

Not to mention it's still going to be a problem for the next person??

[@please_im_a_staaar]

Honestly, these tiktokers are very annoying and entitled, but I also have a hard time feeling bad for the ppl who live in these areas. These ppl are rich as hell. They're gonna be fine. Better harass rich ppl's areas than working class.

Extremely rude and annoying. Also letting balloons go is littering and it’s shitty for the environment. I will NEVER understand this kind of shit.

[@nonir670]

Me either

[@MiraOmicronceti]

Honestly I'm petty...I would lock the gate and put up a sign with the rates I'm charging for photoshoots. 30 min. 1 hour. And if you go over an hour I'm charging you for the next whole hour. I can't control them on the street but they're definitely not hanging off of my front steps unless they plan on renting the "set"

[@heatherhernandez4304]

This is what I was thinking. But “charging “ could actually give you more legal grounds in court. I’m not sure how it works in England, but in the US it would take it from a minor misdemeanor trespassing charge to a much more costly and serious charge if you are costing someone their “business “ or profits.

[@CindyLouWho77]

It’s a liability as well; if someone falls down the stairs, who do you think will end up the respondent in a civil suit?

[@pavlovs-wug]

​@heatherhernandez4304 I mean they'd have to prove that not getting a photo there or having to pay a small charge would have harmed their business - which I highly doubt!!

[@chronicallyfabulous88]

Reminds me of a pretty baffling short I saw a few weeks ago. These 3 women were filming themselves dancing outside someone's particularly nice London townhouse and a woman living there sat down at the window in her dressing gown with a coffee. The dancers had the audacity to get annoyed and harass her about ruining the "aesthetic" of their shot. They told her to either close her curtains or move somewhere she wouldn't be seen by their camera until they were done. The video was from the resident, who I'm happy to report did neither, lol. She sat at HER window, enjoying her coffee and drawing attention by waving, etc. until the dancers eventually gave up and left, lol. The NERVE of some people! Imagine thinking you have the right to dictate what someone does in their own home, just because you want to use said home for views! 🤯 At the time, when I saw that short, I didn't know about this being such a problem around parts of London, but it really doesn't surprise me, tbh. It's appalling and baffling, but unfortunately not surprising.

[@miraxterrik]

That's insane! The audacity of some people...

[@susanjeffries5108]

Now I want to see the video! It's hilarious how she refused to move. I can't imagine telling someone they have to close their curtains because them being in the shot is ruining the aesthetic. That behavior is so gross and weird!

[@nicolenotizieeamici]

Great lady!! These idiots need to find people like that everywhere

[@ephemeralvisions777]

Please link the video if you can i want to laugh too 😂

[@Acehigh-Jenkins]

I would have got a bucket of bleach and a brush and told them I need to wash my steps and and they better move or they’ll get washed an’ all. Then tip the stuff down so if they come back they’ll be paddling in it!

[@alliebeesreading]

That poll is quite high for “painting his house”….why should he?! It’s HIS house. Those people are trespassing! Who just thinks it’s ok to lounge around or gyrate on someone’s front steps?! I swear, humanity these days 🤦🏻‍♀️ And if I’m paying millions to live there?? Oh honeys, you aren’t disturbing my peace. I will make it my life mission to ruin each and every photo and be as petty and annoying as they are.

[@jjudova1]

it’s London do not assume the person who lives there owns the house. Unless the person who lives there js the freeholder of the property they do not own the outside of the building and they cannot change it. London property market is a Russian doll freeholder -> leaseholder -> renter Also this video is rage bait. NottingHill is overrun by tourists every Sunday because of the vintage and food market otherwise it’s a sleepy village

[@strawb2811]

I also think it ruins the charm of the street if people felt forced to paint their houses white or beige. It's a beautiful street to walk down (I grew up round there).

[@AKbaby89]

People really need to stop releasing balloons. They have to go somewhere. And they usually end up in the ocean, suffocating a turtle.

[@bagandbroad]

For real, that makes me so angry. We’re running out of helium too. It’s not renewable and it’s needed for MRI machines among other things. Balloons are fun but we don’t need them.

[@lindseystein9676]

Birds are also known to eat deflated balloons.

[@susanjeffries5108]

Totally agree! 💯 If they feel like they really HAVE to release the balloons couldn't they just use something like fishing line or something that you wouldn't see to make it look like they were floating up in outer space but then you get the shot and pull the balloons back down to earth with you? I mean no one needs to be actually releasing balloons but if you felt like you just absolutely HAD TO couldn't you just at least be considerate enough to figure out a way to bring them back down and not have them float into the environment and end up as litter somewhere? Also comment about helium is real. I only recently found out about this but that comment was totally right. Helium is not renewable and is used in things like MRI machines.

[@sarahkellett4926]

Horses and livestock also ingest them and can die. Happened to a pony near me

[@Luna-Joy.]

Absolutely!!! It kills so many animals, even wildlife in fields or farmers animals because they end up eating the balloon plastic. These idiot people who release them infuriate me, like where do you think they're going to go?!? Up in to space?! No, they're going to land on the ground or in the lakes/oceans and harm other creatures. How absolutely disgusting and selfish, all for a fucking photo.

[@TheHitsubasa]

Pink house guy should charge money for people to use his house for photography 😂 But yeah I’d probably also purposefully ruin their photos too. Gtfo of my property!!

I don't want to charge money to have annoying people and p0rnsick weirdos fondling themselves for their 0nlyfans or whatever other pointless damaging thing they're doing with their lives is. This is a real neighborhood where people live and I'd be mortified that this is happening on my steps and my neighbors have to look at it.

[@user-ry6jj6kx2s]

​@@jjudova1it's not because of the bin collections, it's because the tourists who come to film the houses don't even put things in the bins to begin with

[@alicein1984]

I would definitely spring for some motion activated sprinklers if I had this problem with my house. A quick photo in a tourist location of historical homes is one thing, a whole tiktok dance & photoshoot is just obnoxious & rude. People do live there, with pets & children, & deserve to not be subjected to that sort of behavior all the time.

[@hellsbells8689]

The houses shown are so old they will be classed as Grade 1 protected. Meaning you can change absolutely nothing about them. They have to stay in the same form as the rest of the street. You have to have special window glazing in the old style to keep the noise out. If you needed to replace tiles or the door, it would have to be specially made in the same style. You would be very lucky to be allowed to have any form of signage on the front, so I'm betting sprinklers would definitely be a no no. You are told you have a Grade 1 or Grade 2 listed building when buying a property. However, when these people or their families bought these buildings, "Viral" was something to steer clear of.

[@AshleyFromTX]

Just install a motion activated sprinkler system in the garden. That’ll keep them off your steps. 😂

8:11 as someone how is in the heritage and museum sector, people complain why admissions to historical ‘tourist’ places are pricey, its because things get worn away, damaged, need consternation and care. This is his home not a tourist attraction. I would put an ugly poster or cardboard cutout in windows, I would lock and chain the gate, and have a motion sensor with a dog to scare people. I value my home, privacy and security. And yes it accurate that rare, Victorian tiles are expensive, same with the railings. I’m all for being polite and if I had a beautiful home I would love that people looked at it maybe a photo on the pavement, NOT the steps. Who on earth thinks it’s ok to open someone private gate, if it’s behind a closed gate then it’s not meant to be entered

This must get sooooo grating over time, those poor poor residents. A while back, I lived in an area of Vancouver where people were constantly in our yard or blocking the driveway etc. due to our location, and that kind of inconsiderate behaviour really wears you down over time. We're human, we need our home to feel safe and private in order to feel secure there and recharge, and it's hard to do that when there's a parade of strangers all over your place.

The exact same problem happens here on Circus Lane in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. It was named one of the most "instagramable streets". There have been some risque photoshoots there also. I've read some residents have verbally abused by folk when asked to move along. Full on lighting and photographers appearing on the street for shoots and loud music for models to pose to. I feel so sorry for the residents.

[@bumblebeemer]

Disrespectful af. I'd be that crotchety old person in a 90's kids movie immediately. Buckets of dyed water. soap water. putting a bluetooth speaker in the window to either scare them or play disney music (don't they copyright strike everything lol). Or just open my door and make these weirdos feel as awkward as they're acting. holy CRAP those snfw shoots on people's front steps! Can people who see these kinds of photos/videos on their feeds actually comment about how freakin' weird it is. This is treating reality as a fictional playground to feign realness in a fake online ecosystem. They wouldn't do it if it didn't get them attention.

This is my local area! The influencers have been doing their thing round here for years and years (never right outside my place, I'm glad to say) The horrible entitlement of people who think it's fine to be right up against someone's front door like that! Breaking poor Mr Pink House's tiles and whatnot. I also thought it was the Instagram crowd I was observing, when I used to walk from Ladbroke Grove to Holland Park tube every day, before Covid, before work from home. I guess TikTok were kinda new back then, the TikTok crowd were in their infancy. Enjoy yourself, young Influencers, but don't make people's home lives a misery. I guess it would be fun when you see your first TikTok group dance by enthusiastic amateurs, through your front room window, but the heart would sink as it becomes a daily reality and your paintwork gets chipped and your gate's broken now, because someone tried to do an acrobatic move on it. I enjoyed this video 😄

It's scary having people outside your home, I would be worried about confronting them in case they were abusive. They must know it's wrong to trespass but do it anyway

I’m lucky that I live here year-round so I can get those nice pictures on the off-season. I love the architecture so I enjoy walking around town enjoying the scenery but in October it’s completely filled with people. This last October was the absolute worst because of all of the Instagram/TikTok influencers trying to get their witchy aesthetic pictures. Good luck getting a picture in front of the Witch House unless you want to wait while 50 other people line up like it's a theme park and glare at you to hurry up so they can take their own picture. I get it as someone who visited and loved it so much that I ended up moving here but I definitely have a problem with it if it’s on someone’s private property or if they’re breaking things, especially in a place like Salem where a lot of the tourist destinations should be respected since it is a place where a lot of people were wrongly accused and sentenced to death, and yet people will pose on top of tombstones or try to deface property.

When I dared to say something I got a rapid blink back. You can’t walk down streets, they block the middle of the road. I get it, it’s pretty and colourful but DAMN IT we can’t breathe 😭. People using your window sill as a tripod, laughing and screaming at your windows. Brunch queues hours long only for nobody to be eating at all! The weekends are like an assault course… and I don’t even have a pretty house!! And this isn’t even with the normal passing tourists at the weekends. The neighbourhood is welcoming and kind, it’s nice to have fresh energy come through. Some of the content being made seems nice.

There was a picturesque farm that went viral here in Vermont, near where I live. The problem is...Vermont is so small, we don't have the road infrastructure....and that Farm is privately owned. My entire morning commute was made longer. I saw people going on private property to take pictures (this is a castle doctrine state). They clogged the roads, and in some instances ambulances couldn't get by. I just wanted to freaking get to work. It was terrible. I don't know how to stress that if people are going to visit, they need to respect our community and let the people who live here get on with our lives. I'm in direct support and I care for others. Other people depend on me to show up for work on time. Your Tiktok videos do not outweigh the importance of my clients.

It's things like this that make me kinda happy we don't have strict gun laws in the US! I came out of work to find some ridiculous looking man children posing all over my Hellcat. I walked up to them and asked if that was really their car or if they just rented it for the day. They proceeded to tell me all about how much money they make and that this was only one of ten other luxury cars ( I believe the word Lambo left one of their mouths). I asked them how much "their" Hellcat cost and they told me "only 400K! I couldn't let it go on any longer. I busted out laughing, unlocked MY car with my key fob and told them that my SRT was only 120K because that is how much they cost fully loaded with every package available, 95K factory standard. I then told them to learn the difference between American muscle cars and foreign luxury cars that cost a lot of money to import and is reflected in the price. I think one of them called me a bitch.

My Aunt lives across the street from a famous NYC building. People used to stop, take a picture and move on. We still have normal tourist pics, but now we have the TikTok ghouls. They have long photo shoots that block the sidewalk and street. People climbing and hanging off the fences. I’ve seen people literally blocking NYC traffic trying to get a photo with more of the building. NYC is loud, noise is constant, but we still know when an idiot is blocking traffic, because of the repetitive honking to clear the street. What’s insane is it’s rarely teenagers, it’s sober 20 something’s who should know better. They should be past that selfishness, should know that there behavior is disruptive and destructive.

I live in Manhattan - and currently the F train (only subway stop on Roosevelt Island) is being worked on - so all the residents have to take the trams (cable cars over the East river). However, due to tiktokers suddenly discovering the trams (and telling tourists to take them), lines are now ridiculous and residents are having issues getting to and from their jobs/school.

[@ariannasv22]

Im sorry but the old guy finding the models "amusing" and Robert quietly saying "of course" was so funny! But also the thought of some random stranger rubbing their everything on the railing and stuff, ew!

[@samanthafairweather9186]

🤢🤢🤮

[@suem7172]

Air horns could be useful! 😂 The street is fair game I suppose, but coming up onto people's property is unacceptable!

[@sheashea8465]

When you said you paid to use his toilet and there was shit everywhere, I seriously thought you meant literal shit everywhere 😂😂.

[@stephaniet5448]

Me too! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@will-o-the-wisp-witch]

The other day i was looking up drone laws for my state and trespassing because someone had a drone flying over my house. Its creepy for living out in the countryside, I cant imagine how people feel living in beautiful city neighborhoods like this that draw tourists and the like.

[@stinajones9847]

Maybe it's because I'm old but I would never dream of walking onto someone's property for any reason other than being invited. Shame these people publicly! 😂

[@TheDevilChrno]

If I had a Ring I would have a grand time scaring them from it. 😂 "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! GET OFF MY PROPERTY."

[@LuunnaGaia]

WHO DARES DISTURB THE REST OF THE WIZARD OF NOTTING HILL

[@denaemichele]

I would be super annoyed if people were sitting and laying on the front steps of my house. The street is public property so take pictures if you want but do not come onto my private property with that mess. Lol

[@tanianixon8930]

I would not cope if I was experiencing this invasion of privacy… my anxiety would be ridiculously high 😢

[@koalarm]

If that were me I'd have a bucket of cold water standing by on a permanent basis. Or I'd have mop and bucket ready to go out clean the steps/do some other DIY, effectively ruining their footage.

[@thu4061]

Front step sprinkler system that can be turned on from inside the house would be cheaper than repairs and much quicker at getting the point across.

[@BcOriginal]

I don't understand this, I wouldn't even feel comfortable taking one picture in front of anyone's house 😭 it feels like an invasion of privacy... Unless they say it's fine ofc 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sarawashington5485]

The world 's gone mad!!!

[@Carriedeeznutz]

Oh man, I remember this being a huge problem with instagram influencers a few years ago. My ex’s brother and sister-in-law lived in Notting Hill in the late 2010’s. They didn’t even live in a picturesque Notting Hill house- they lived in an apartment building, but even they had issues. The building had a GORGEOUS garden courtyard, and people kept trying to sneak in or even climb the building’s tall iron gate to get in and take pictures. I guess when the owners asked the influencers to leave their houses, they would look for another place to trespass on for photos. My ex’s brother and SIL actually held their wedding in the building’s courtyard, and there were multiple jokes made about the ceremony being interrupted by trespassing influencers.

[@nerdmaid1240]

I used to live in Bath in the days before social media, and I was always trying to manoeuvre past tourists on my doorstep. I’d be struggling with bags of shopping, having them be rude to me for getting in their pics. I can imagine it’s way worse there too now!

[@vannyx2295]

Thanks Robert, I now have ‘Portabello Road’ stuck in my head. I’m going to have to watch all of Bedknobs and Broomsticks again to get rid of it.

[@averysutton2328]

oh my... the first article is from 2019, so this has been an issue for at least 5 years! I can't imagine how frustrating that must be for the homeowners and how this hasn't been stopped!

[@amariaz]

I'm petty, I'd probably attach satanic symbols to my door, the steps, windows and routinely open the door in a black cloak asking people if they want to join me in worshipping Satan 😂😂😂

[@gobsmr]

The pink house grandad should not have said “It amuses to watch them” after talking about inappropriate photo shoots😭😭That is not the energy you want to put out

[@SheilaMarguerite]

OMG if I lived there, that would piss me off so much!!

[@abigailpena5950]

This is the time where you start using malicious compliance so that you can mess up those people's content for fun. Put something creepy in the window, play an even louder sound that scares them, maybe something that can spray water on them automatically, put a sticky substance on the places they like to sit on, something similar to a mild prank because now those people are a total infestation and it sounds horrible to live there... Maybe even get a big dog that scares them because losing that much money to them is even worse.

[@monicapatton1405]

How on earth are they getting away with photo shoots on their steps?

[@lindseystein9676]

I would be so embarrassed to go on someone’s front step to take an overly posed photo…

[@dashnja.9202]

Go out on my porch and yell "Ice Water Challenge! in 10 seconds!"

[@Leash_Canada]

When I visit London, I love the Kew neighbourhood by the National Archives, and of course, the super touristy Covent Garden! There are soooooo many beautiful neighbourhoods in London! Oh and Hampstead!

[@googleknowsus8184]

Kew is so pretty!

[@saradeemon]

Bedknobs and broomsticks is such a great movie

[@samanthafairweather9186]

Great movie! Goes for about 3 hours, but I loved it as a kid. But the songs actually from Mary Poppins.

[@Crazyjoepondue]

There is a neighborhood in my city that consists of beautiful old Victorian houses and they have the same problem with “influencers” all over the properties. It’s completely disrespectful.

[@ColletteC2106]

Thank you making this channel, Robert! It’s so fun, and I just love all your content! ✨🖤✨

[@darkstar940able]

The goonies house owner covered the house in blue tarp until people stopped coming

[@denuitsmoongardens8474]

@darkstar940able in Astoria? I heard the old owners didnt mind but the house was recently sold and the new owners were not friendly Astoria remains a hidden gem in my opinion

[@Shadowcrypt77]

I caught a teenager recording a tictok dance in the parking lot of the apartment complex I live in. She shut it off and walked away quickly when she saw there were other people outside besides her. 🙄

[@denuitsmoongardens8474]

@shadowcrypt77 at least she had the decency to be embarrassed! Its the people who have no shame who are the problem

[@juliawidmaier5334]

I've only encountered an influencer in the wild once and it was when i was traveling back home to the Philippines with my bf. We went to a stunning local waterfall and were in awe of it, the water was amazing and so clean. You could pay the local guides to take you on a raft to go under the falls and this one woman in a very skimpy swimsuit showed up and rented the raft (we all use the same one) and instead of going under the falls she just had the guide take pictures of her doing various poses, she didn't even swim, she just had her pictures taken and then left. Now mind you the trek down to the falls is not easy and entrance isn't free, so it just shocked me that this person went through all that just to stay maybe 20 minutes tops and get photos taken.

[@shelbeepollino9008]

Any time I visit a neighborhood like this I’m tiptoeing around so much trying not to disturb the residents that they probably think I’m casing the houses 🤣🤣 I promise I just want a picture of your pretty doors and windows!!

[@rianorman3526]

I'd absolutely HATE that!!! Some idiot Tik Toker cavorting around in front of my front door!!! Get a very big dog!!! 😂😂😂 xxxxxx

[@yerene]

i live 5 mins away and walk down these roads to get to portobello every other day and its actually crazy. i literally saw someone bring a mini pop up changing room with full on tripod ring lights in the middle of the road.. idek what’s going on anymore

[@lyndatewell4604]

I bought my Mom a lovely Spode tea set from a cute little shop in Notting Hill - love NH!!!!! And I cannot believe you mentioned the song Portobello Road from Bedknobs and Broomsticks!!! I loved that muscial when I was a kid. Anyway - the Notting Hill residents should hire a security company to make people move along and not set up photo shoots there. They have the money to do this. I live near Venice Beach in California, and a lot of people rent AirBNB houses in the area, and there's free parking on our street, so there's lots of people who do not live here wandering around. Most of the time it is fine - they are just headed to the beach or wandering around, but sometimes we get vandals. We got together and hired a security company to patrol the area, and make people "move along" if they are causing chaos or destruction. This has actually worked, and costs us something like $50 per month, since all of our neighbors participate.

[@sujoudza14]

I wouldn’t mind someone taking a picture in front of my house but actually stepping on my property and coming up my steps is too much. If they were in Midwest America where I live, the police would’ve been called and I wouldn’t be surprised if the homeowner had a gun

[@whitwillie4052]

I was searching for something good to watch on my break. Thank you!

[@christabeard983]

Get a sprinkler system to wet anyone that walks past your gate that’s not invited. We get folks at our house because they don’t bother looking at house numbers. It’s a bother when I’m trying to leave, and they are blocking the driveway. I’d be so irritated if it happened daily.

[@juliawidmaier5334]

Honestly i get that frustrationa and alarm, especially someone having a lewd photoshoot outside my door. How very weird of them.
