ghetto's in england consist of chavs hanging on street corners just acting like Yobs and trying to scare old people. They're not really the same as the ones in the US (in London anyways, dont know about the rest of the UK)

Of course London has a 'ghetto'. In fact, it has several 'ghettos', like any other major city. If you want specific names, Peckham, Brixton and Stockwell pop to mind. There are others of course.

I don't think it's nearly as bad as those places (probably because of lower gun availability, less black racial friction and fewer people overall), but it still gets pretty bad. In Peckham, for instance, shootings, armed robberies and stabbings are quite common. Just the other week they had an armed gang storm into a baptism ceremony, take everybody's valuables and shoot a woman in the head (for no reason).

Yes I suppose so. And by the way Hackney is a district of London which is basically just like a ghetto I guess as there are constant shootings, rape and many other delicious crimes there. Personally I think you could describe some parts of London as a 'ghetto' as most of the people tehre want to be in a ghetto and constantly try to act like they are whilst saying Brappppp. God I hate some parts of London.

How dare you! Who doesn't want to listen to grime music! I mean the beautiful art of getting a crap recurring beat and just rapping about how someone will eventually get beaten up or slaughtered as they have the bigger fists! Blasphemy!

i've been to london.. and i've gone to all parts of the city and i didn't really notice it being 'ghetto' in any parts. Maybe I'm used to hardcore ghettos in new orleans so i didn't notice the sh** areas in london or something.. who knows.

I live in the very outskirts of London. Quite a nice area I personally believe, reasonably quiet. I used to licve in Dagenham (North-East Lodnon) which is now a (expletive) hole. I hated it thanks to the rise of immagrants there and rise in crime and just overall a not very nice place.

Glasgow is pretty ghetto. Not any particular part, just Glasgow in general. A misplaced look on the street will get you stabbed there. Theres about 3 murders a day.
