Sounds like he was staying in the wrong area. I go to Kensington regularly and I've walked those streets alone at all hours of the day and night without a hint of trouble. If you're closer to the downtown area or especially northeast of there, forget it. You'll find yourself in deep shit in no time.

I was in London the months leading up to and during the Olympics, so I figured it was clean because of that, but I was back last summer and to my surprise it was about the same. I was in Paris in 2012, and it was dirty, Muslims everywhere on every street corner loitering, and tons of Gypsies. I have zero urge to ever go back to Paris, but I’ll be going back to London next year. |

My son just got back as well and pretty much said that your son's assessment hit the nail on the head.
Quoted:
His observations. 1. Nope, theres no white people there, just rude "asians", as in muslim asians.. He didn't say anything about them being rude but from the moment he arrived at the airport, he'd never seen so many muslims.
2. Dirty as fuck. No normal trash bins around cuz bombs. Definitely the trashiest place he's ever been to and practically impossible to find a public restroom. 3. Full of bums, beggars and drunks. Drunks everywhere. I've taken him to Vegas for Shot before so he's seen what a lot of homelessness looks like but he said in London they were all Muslim. 4. Best part of the trip was hanging out with the girls in the hotel room. Agreed, except that the hotel in Almondsbury is in the running for The Worst Hotel On Planet Earth...but they did give them free admission tickets to St. Paul's Cathedral. 5. Being that he's a 270 lb football player, he was not appreciative of the portion size of most of the restaurants. |

Huh. I just got back from there. Your son’s observations were about what I expected before going.
It simply isn’t reality. At least all the places I visited. Saw maybe 3 or 4 bums/beggars, (one setup next to an atm..lol) but really impressed with the city as a whole. Lots of tourists from around the world, sure, but was surprised that most folks I saw were white. I never felt unsafe and moved around London by train, tube, Uber, taxi and bus. The “people of color” were all quite friendly whether they lived in London or were tourists. I also spent a few days touring the countryside and even though some folks don’t like Americans(according to friends who live there. They especially hate Trump), it was an experience I won’t soon forget. (My wife heard one comment by another as they passed a statue of Abraham Lincoln “oh good, another American looking down at me”. ) By the way, the new $1billion American Embassy is beautiful. |

Being that he's a 270 lb football player, he was not appreciative of the portion size of most of the restaurants. He also said everything was ridiculously expensive. Not "tourist" prices which you'd expect, but more like a 2 inch little Big Ben epoxy model going for no less than 60 pounds. He bought a few trinkets here and there and the prices were absurd. Seems like they are desperately trying to milk tourists. Still glad he went and got to see the place. Traveling is a great learning experience at that age. Next year I believe they are going to Rome. |

Dont get me wrong in general he had a good time.
As I was saying he didnt go with any negative preconceptions. Maybe if he had gone with a very negative idea of what to expect he would have been more pleasantly surprised. Quote HistoryQuoted:
He should have gone to Prague. Traveling to Prague for example is much cheaper. Hell, you can probably find tickets for 100 bucks and the hotel isnt all that much more. Sometimes you find tickets for 40 or 50 bucks. |

Check out the wikipedia link explaining the ethic composition of London if you have a problem understanding that. That was in 2011 and the city has grown in population 40% since then, mostly "asian" immigrants. I have maybe 10GB of pictures from all over the world and I bet I can go through half of them looking pretty damn good, which like your holiday pics proove nothing at all. You could have just said you had a nice/great time there or whatever, posted you pics and that would have been perfectly ok. But you had to be an ass about it, all while being wrong of course. |
