It’s in a bad area like
There’s a fair few parts of London that are dangerous and that’s up there with the worst of them

Had a client there once on an industrial estate near Caledonian Road. Scared me shitless going there in daytime. And this was in the 80s.

Yeah pearl jam are playing there in June. Was half tempted to go but don't feel comfortable staying over.

I meant the area leading to the ground to be fair.

Still go
Just get in and out and stop somewhere nicer
If there’s a big gig on at the stadium it’ll be safe enough getting in and away
Terrifying place. Not quite the same but took the Piccadilly Line the wrong way to there once, eery
It’s not a great area, but 60,000 go every other week and are fine.

Yeah I might do that. And you're probably right and I suppose unlike the footy I don't need to just find a pub. Just go straight to the gig
Different when you’re local and know the streets. But agree would never let it stop me going
Pubs around are grim, definitely don’t do that. But after the gig just walk down to Seven Sisters with tens of thousands of people.
The Situation

It's like being in a real-life episode of Top Boy when you're walking around that area.
Most are not local, season ticket prices at Spurs are mad and price out the locals. It’s on the main road and you just walk with the crowds

I’m sure Tottenham falls under the Borough of Haringey and it was (and probably still is) one of the top two or three poorest boroughs in London. Rough place with a lot of issues there.
