Primrose Hill has ‘turned from A-list paradise into a Neanderthal playground’
Mostly what I’m hearing is that people are very very upset it’s a terrible terrible thing to happen and really angry that um after such a lot of discussion and warnings about violent crime and antisocial behavior that there should be such a terrible incident here in this in this park has really upset
People and you yourself been assaulted toast here but were you happy with the response by the police and a CPS off after you yourself to attacks not really no it was a it was very difficult time it was 2020 with all the pandemic going on um and although we actually arrested
The culprit and and that was someone who’d been here in the park with big loud speakers the case actually folded because of the technicality around the dates so that was really really frustrating I mean I don’t have a garden myself I come here to the park it’s
Really important to me to have a safe place uh where families babies children can get the fresh air that they need and come up and enjoy the facilities I mean due to lockdown somehow the word went out out that this is the a place to come
And party but it was it was dramatically different and it was the amount of broken glass in the morning the trash the litter and just completely complete disregard that this was you know a neighborhood the the shops along the street were getting their Windows broken there’d be people but it was they were
Different factions and they’d all have their different music blaring and it was very U it’s really more depressing than anything because this has always been a a place where everyone could come and gather they were graffiting you know this beautiful quote from Blake they were graffiting spray painting
Everything you know it was a real problem with public defecation and stuff as well I mean it was like they were treating this like a you know just like some kind of meanderthal camp it was really bad now that we have social media there’s a huge reputation building up
Around this park because it’s always been open 24/7 it’s got a name for itself now and that’s really really unfortunate My wife feels comfortable walking alone in the streets at night along kind of like lit lit areas she wouldn’t walk through this park at night do J R you on the mayor by the way is he you know would he get your vote next he absolutely wouldn’t get my vote no why
Not well I think his uh disain for the Metropolitan Police is quite well uh documented and I don’t think he’s I think he’s more worried about about doing the right thing for the you know to appear to be doing the right thing for for walk reasons rather than actually doing the
Right things for this city of London he needs to kind of pay a little more attention to this kind of Youth violence and how to do Outreach to youth a lot more when I grew was in LA the Rodney King situation happened and there were
The riots and he made a speech and he said why can’t we get along and it’s like why can’t we get along why why is it so hard
IT is the leafy north London enclave that became synonymous with wealth and excess thanks to the antics of Kate Moss, Jude Law and Liam Gallagher.
But today fed-up residents say you are more likely to bump into a thug wearing a hoodie than you are to an A-list celebrity in Primrose Hill, which has become a “Neanderthal campground”.
Following the fatal stabbing of 16-year-old schoolboy Harry Pitman on New Year’s Eve, locals have told The Sun that they have been warning of a surge in violence and anti-social behaviour for three years.
Eleanor Sturdy chairs the Primrose Hill crime panel and says the area’s historic park can resemble a music festival some days as yobs take drugs and have sex in full view of members of the public.

Fresh air in london lol
Welcome to the reality of the rest of the country unfortunately .
what a shame ,have some of that diversity and cultural enrichment you love to tell us is brilliant
The whole city is becoming a dump
Only going to get worse.
ITS BECAUSE OF KHAN TURNED LONDON INTO A THIRD WORLD TIP
Get used to it. This is equality and woke. Knives and drugs are just an expression of diversity (which must not, of course, be challenged).
i cant even imagine what the council tax is for this type of area, what on earth are the council doing letting this happen , are the government trying to turn our beautiful country into a dump on purpose ?
Import the 3rd world. Get the 3rd world.
Woke – Tripe poison everything
sorry yeah but as kids we do stupid stuff. we dont go attacking people with knives. also martial arts should be accepted on school syllabus itd teach valuable ethics to young lads who need it. check the men in chechnya, khabib from the ufc etc
Well, at least it's a hill and their little booties won't get too badly stained when The Rivers come!
Awful what’s happening to England
I used to live nearby and visited Primrose Hill quite often to take in the amazing view from the hill. How it has changed. Another fine example of our feckless political leaders letting us down so badly.
I know people that are friends with the family of this young man
Mugs with knives have no clue
The multiculties are now spilling over from Camden, Kentish and Somers Town to Primrose Hill. There are simply too many of them. Nowhere to hide.
RIP Harry. You never failed to make an impression. You had so much charisma and charm. 🕊️
good to see all the woke rich are copping it too hopefully something will change now
Lived up here in the 00s , used to be well posh. Tough policing needed.
Sadiq KHAN reducing the numbers or Metropolitan Police is one basic problem for the city of London, it's the broken windows theory over and over.
Multiculturalism is fantastic isn't it
Isla mic migr ation & the addition of a certain demographic is to blame. Same as everywhere else in London and every other major city.
You got problems in London. Well keep them there and do something about it. You voted that camel in so now get him out. Build a mega prison in Knightsbridge and fill it .😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Khan and Multiculturalism has failed. All these middle class Liberals are finding out how great diversity is! London has changed beyond all recognition over the last two decades. And it is hard to see getting any better again.
It's sad. The whole country is sliding down the toilet. I live in a wonderful rural area of Yorkshire. The drug abuse and dealing were making the area tense. The residents dealt with it. No point in relying on the they them in blue anymore.
Am glad this posh people are getting a taste of what all to often we poor people have to deal with just for being poor not thst i would even want to be posh like ,
Welcome to Khan world ! Paris has Disney land we have ghettoland.
Invite the third world in and this is what you get. Did people expect anything else?
The only way anything will change is when millionaires playgrounds are affected in the same way as those places where everyone else live.
Its the Twilight of Western civilization. The slow graceful slide back to The Stone Age.
Progress does not always hold. Things do fall apart. Society comes undone. Just History.
Aaaah the poor white wealthy of grimrose shill crying because the plebs are in their park …oooooh boooo hooooooo
No-one's got the guts on here to call out the real problem. I wonder why. If you listen to what the residents have to say they're spelling it out. It's not rocket science, it's down to the explosion in hoodie manufacturers. They're making millions selling their gear online and in most shopping centres and it's law-abiding neighbourhoods who suffer. They have to be stopped.
