Anyone here from Toxteth?
Is it as bad as people suggest?
Would like a heads up as the company is farming me out for 5 weeks

Thanks
 
Most boarded up windows I've seen in my life. I worked nights up there once on a refurb for an Iceland supermarket. Absolute whole, but it was 8 years ago now

8 years ago was the start of a massive regeneration of the area after the managed decline of maggie thatchers regime! I lived there in my student days its never been as bad as people made out. Like any poor area its got its problems.

Some good authentic food joints around the area. Check out raggas on smithdown road for an amazing jamacian curry and lodge lane has some good kebab houses.

Give you that much mate the food was class at the time I was working with 2 black brothers who really opened my eyes up to decent food. I was a bland eater before. Used to love Caribbean Curry up there literally one a day
 
Is that the place where the riot was a few years back?

There's lots of places all over the UK that need regeneration, not just Toxteth and all places have their good and bad areas. It's what YOU make of it that counts.
