Sounds like he's probably bullshitting tbh.
I was there for 11 yrs and never saw a fraction of that.
Although, the Beehive still remains the only place I've ever witnessed a proper fist fight between pensioners

I've had enough of Brixton - I need to get out of here

I can't see why I'd have a reason to bullshit, half my housemates have been here lots longer than me and seen a fraction, doesn't mean I'll have the same experience. Why don't you go tell one of the numerous people who've got stabbed in Brixton in the last year that not much bad happens - just because YOU haven't witnessed it doesn't make it not true.
....and the old man I saw getting beaten up was actually outside the beehive.

Ah, right next to Stockwell Park Estate eh?
Handy when you need a bag o rocks in a hurry then
having run away from Brixton myself I can sort of sympathise, but you really do seem to have a VERY bad run there boss
We were driven out by having our street invaded by Trusafarian Tarquins who installed huge sound systems to play shite trance for days on end with all their mates blowing whistles. One of them even told me at 5am on day two of his party when I asked him to at least close the windows to keep down the sound of his twatmates blowing whistles and cheering every fucking cheesy drumroll " but this is Brixton" - there ought to have been a fucking stabbing then and there!!!!!
As for Brixton being mainly black - well it was once, but because of the influx of trendy whities to sample its non-stop party edgy party vibe party, most of the black people in Brixton have just got off the 133 from Streatham cos they cant afford to live there any more!!!!
PS When pubs still let you smoke in them I went to the Beehive on a Tuesday promo night - ultra cheapo bevs - I had to step over two middle aged women who were trying to strangle each other ,wrestling on the floor and pretty much blocking the door - but I wanted a cheapo bev, so that didn't slow me much. Then some old boy on one of their tall stools fell straight back onto the floor, no fucker batted an eyelid. However, when I approached the bar to order my cheapo pinto, the barman told me I couldn't stand at the bar with a fag going. Ace
Bit later a lake of piss flowed out of the mens bog and girl just sat there and puked on herself in one of those booths down the side. It seems the puff was a bit stonger than she expected.
An unreal parrallel dimension breaks thru at the Beehive.
A smaller dimensional tear also seems to exists in Iceland

Oh fuck off with your pathetic, wannabe-offensive disruptive trolling.
Last warning. Post more shit up at your peril.

This might be a stupid question.
But even if it were true that it was mostly black people that live here (and those of us that do live here know that it's not true)... so what?

This is why it's the best pub in Brixton imo
You didn't read the post ed.
I said that i was working in a court so that was to be expected.
I don't know if you have spent any time in courts but there are some really bad people in the places. My experience is limited to a few weeks but while the work was good I didn't much care for many of the people I was around. That also goes for a few of the staff in the places that seemed to have a very bad attitude.
I also said I went out for a pizza at night and felt safe.
Turns out my faulty memory makes me wrong anyway as I may have been close to Brixton but not actually in it.
Can't say that I like London (or most other big cities- you should see Jakarta and Bangkok) that much but I didn't get the feeling that the OP is trying to give.
So no troll intended at all. In fact i was agreeing with you if you re-read the post.
As for pboi posting the black comment about people living near the tube station. So what? Loads of people of all skin colours live all over London.
May i ask what was the point of the comment please?
Odd thing today. A bloke who I had never met before but who was at a mate's house asked if he could hold Michelle (My baby daughter).
His skin colour was unusually dark even for here and he asked if she was scared of dark skinned people. I replied that she didn't care but was only interested in what the person was like.
(Actually my Indonesian is still shit so I just said "No what what (Doesn't matter) she likes friendly people".)
Seems like a good way to live to me.
Rats. i don't know London that well so seems I fucked up.
I do remember that I was hoping to meet a poster from this forum that lives in the area so maybe it was that causing my bad recall.
I do know it was in south London at least near Brixton and I do remember the rather nice pizza and having to walk back to the court where we were pulling an all nighter to get the job done. Loads of people about but no feeling of threat at all.
Still means shit if I wasn't actually in Brixton anyway.
Grass indeed you cheeky little scamp.

I'm happy to slag off Brixton if the criticism is well earned and exists in the real world rather than the poster's confused head (see: derf's comments).

And?
Swindon is not only a shithole, but a hellhole too.
And they're usually charging upwards of two hundred notes an hour for the pleasure of their company.

I feel comfortable in Brixton, and I have visited many times over the years. Never had one bad experience there. Unlike Leyton where I grew up, now that IS an almighty shithole and I hate even driving through the area, it's as dodgy as fuck IMO.

Don't be so silly. People are entitled to their opinions, even if <gasp>, they are not the same as yours.

It would appear that I am in a better position than others to be able to tell a shithole/hellhole when I see one, then.

That's not the problem. The thing is you've come on here to tell us we're living in a shithole. Predictably, it's a bit of a non starter as far as reasoned discussion goes.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Y'know, rotten shit happens in every borough across this city - I've been living in Brixton for over 15 years, and I've seen lots of good stuff, some bad stuff and whole heap of plain old weird stuff, but I've never felt threatened by the Brixton or felt unwelcome in Brixton and I have never personally suffered any violence or abuse in Brixton (..and I've probably deserved a whack somewhere along the way!).
There's a lot of communities rubbing next to each other here too, some good rubbing, some sexy rubbing, some good ol' trouble rubbing, some dull ol' just getting by rubbing, and a little bit of no rubbing at all.
I found Basingstoke on a Friday night to be more aggressive and openly violent than here.
