I went to London when I was a kid and it was a shithole then, Camden especially, my mum and dad almost got mugged by black guys hanging around under the bridge and for some reason there were street vendors selling blown up pictures of mutilated animals. Some pedo also followed me into a bathroom and tried to hit on me and my dad had to threaten to kill him. Legitimately the worst place I've been. This was probably around 2002
