Worked in Ilford for 2 years (Seven Kings) which is said to be tough but it's not at all, never had any fuss in London either or Southend where I live (well there was one thing but not a biggie). Had much worse in Bradford and Leeds.

Moss Side is dangerous. Had a mate work down there who went for a piss some place, a public toilet or something.....and a guy put a gun under the cubicle door and demanded keys for his truck lol.
