Multicultural London Tour | Green Street, Upton Park | After More Lockdown Relaxations | London Walk

Green Street is known as ‘Little India’ 🇮🇳, Little Pakistan 🇵🇰, the majority of the people that live here are from India and Pakistan and Bangladesh are here. It has now developed strong South Indian cultural area! Green Street has catered for the desi culture through its vibrant restaurants, designer clothing, international fabrics and cultural events. Green Street is known worldwide as the home to West Ham United Football Club (which was originally Thames Ironworks Football Club) since 1904 until 2016 when they moved not too far away to the former Olympic Stadium used for the 2012 London Summer Olympics. The original stadium located on Greet Street was called the Boleyn Stadium, named after a building that once existed in the area called Boleyn Castle, or Green Street House, which is believed to be the house of Henry VIII’s second wife Anne Boleyn (it’s sort of a local legend with no historical evidence to support this claim and the Boleyn Castle has long been demolished after being left in disrepair). In 1931, Mahatma Gandhi visited London and spent some time in Green Street where he befriended the founder of West Ham F.C., Arnold Hills, also they both promoted vegetarianism! Shopping in Green Street There are no shortage of places to shop in Green Street and the most common reason why people go there is South Asian clothing. Everything from South Asian bridal wear like lehengas and saris, to everyday Asian clothes like the shalwar kameez; Green Street has them in all different styles and colours. Green Street isn’t just famous for all the exquisite dresses that can be bought there but is also popular for Indian gold jewellery, and although can be worn anywhere, is a traditional part of South Asian weddings where the bride normally wears the gold to compliment her dress. Unlike traditional English weddings where the bride wears white and the groom wears a suit, in South Asian weddings, the bride wears bright colours with lots of gold jewellery and the groom normally wears an intricately designed suit like a kurta. Why not pick up a few colourful bangles as a reminder of your trip, for a more exotic twist on the classic London souvenir. The East Mall located on Green Street is Europe’s first purpose-built boutique South Asian shopping mall. There are two floors; the ground floor consists of bridal wear shops and the East Mall market where perfumes, clothes, sweets, toys and many other items can be purchased. The second floor is the food court with restaurants, cafes and ice-cream parlours that all have a shared seating area; everything from Indian, Lebanese and grilled peri-peri chicken and be bought here. Another notable place to visit on Green Street is Queen’s Market conveniently located just outside the Upton Park tube station. Queen’s Market is a historic market that dates back to the Victorian era when clothes and vegetables were sold there by Jewish traders from Whitechapel, also in the East End. The modern Queen’s Market has a roof that covers it and shops constructed inside but it is still famous for the “£1 a bowl” fruit and vegetables that can’t really be found anywhere else. Queens’s Market, which is very ethnically diverse, is a combination of permanent shops and ever-changing stalls; from the shops selling everything from Afro-Caribbean and South Asian food, spices and clothes can be bought. There are also shops that supply afro hair products as well as barbers, hair-dressers and salons catering for both men and women. There are also some butcher shops offering halal meat and shops that specialise in fresh and frozen fish; in fact, it was here that the Muhammad Shahid Nazir came to fame as the much loved “£1 Fish Man” whose song, originally sung to attract customers, went viral and ended up with him getting a record deal with Warner Music. The stalls in Queen’s Market sell bowls of fruit and vegetables every day of the week but it’s on Sundays that the real fun kicks off. On Sunday, temporary stalls can be hired and all sorts of goods can be purchased from electronics and ornaments to shoes and even underwear.
