- We visited and spoke to Turks in a known street and "it's Istanbul" in London, one of the biggest Turkish communities in the UK, we had no idea that you can find everything here they would sell in Türkiye and the Turkish restaurants and cafe's here are superb. Welcome to Green Lanes in North London
#türkiye #mickandtrudie #londonturks
AT LAST !!!!! Thank you to Mick & Trudie for showing Green Lanes. On visiting London people get drawn into the city/west end tourist traps, and end up leaving London complaining how expensive everything is. Not in Green Lanes you won't. As East Enders, we have been using Green Lanes every week for nearly 40yrs. It's 15-20mns drive, including traffic, from St Pauls/Square Mile business district and worth every bloody penny to eat out there and . From fresh daily hand made cakes/bread ( Bakers to use : Yasar Halim - Antepliler ) offering beautifully decorated & boxed fresh cream cakes for £3.50 each to even finding the Rare & Historic " Rum-Baba " doughnut, that sadly seems to have disappeared from English bakeries. Your spoilt for choice on where to eat dinner & the are a few "no go " restaurants you need to avoid, but as long as you avoid the ones near the train station and eat further up in the ones near/around Yasar Halim Bakers your be fine. Prices have gone up since Covid, but compared to me treating my visiting Canadian relatives to eating in Wagamama's costing 6 of us over £300 to all eating out along Green Lanes for less than £180, with doggy bags taken home because the was so much left over, you can enjoy a fantastic night cheaply & be reminded of how lovely the Turkish/people food are.
What a great comment. Thank you so much for sharing this with us 🤠🙋♀️👍
Your great channel convinced us to visit Turkey last year for the first time. We have had 3 holidays over there since, including taking the grand kids, and already booked for next year. Thank you M&J 🥰👍... @@mickandtrudie
I know it well. It used to be Greeks
@@mickandtrudie How one man, made Norway Rich? czcams.com/video/BJeoITEas2k/video.htmlsi=ArMdHS6uVQfYmd9H&t=7
3.50 for a cream cake .I'll stay up north.
Lots of Turkish people in The Netherlands. They are very welcome immigrants and most of them very hard working entrepreneurs owning small businesses. Of course things like doner and lahmacun have become regular Dutch foods. The Turkish community seems to have managed to really intergrate in to the the country well, while keeping their own culture and identity alive.
I think it’s because they are respectful and genuinely nice people
Lamhacun is ARMENIAN
yes its not the Turks who are the problem / whether others will eventually integrate as well only have to look at the USA
@@frankiegregoriou4604 auahua yea we saw the disgusting pic of kardashian it was pide with meat :D also the dish is lubanese and north west syrian originally not even turkish ofcourse not armenian armenian is bready meat btw..
@@frankiegregoriou4604 I didnt make any claim about the origins of the lahmacun dish. I just stated that it were Turkish people who introduced it to The Netherlands so no need to SHOUT ok? I am fully aware of the troubled history between the Armenian and Turkish people, like the forced desert marches during the first world war so it was in no way my intetention to diminish Armenian people in any way. Just relax.
very refreshing to get to see something from the turkish community in the UK. thanks a lot!
They are cute!
Always have been 😂 there is Turkish people all over the UK. Not just London. Turkish barbers and food have been popular in UK for decades
True, most travel shows in tbe UK, only highlight the Indian, Chinese, African, or Caribbean areas. Nice to see the other areas.
I have endless respect for people like you who are interested in Turkish culture and try to learn Turkish.
Good cultured people like you should come to my country.
Biz Fethiye’de yaşıyoruz
Merhaba Barış Bey, Mick Amca'yı tanımamanız beni biraz üzdü, ve tabii Trudie'yi de... Onlar çok çok iyi, çok çok özel insanlar. Onları daha çok tanımanızı umud ederek sevgi ve saygılarımı sunuyorum
Yes and perhaps Turks should take Mick and Trudie as an example on how to behave and act the same way towards the Kurdish people?
Yeah and you guys should learn from them how respect tourists coming in your country and don't be racists toward them!
Do you also respect the corruption that your counsel members have brought into the local communities?
What a lovely family thanks for showing your love to Türkiye and Turkish people
Wow such an interesting vlog Turkish food looked amazing !!
I love this place. There is where I go to have the Turkish food. They are so kind an awesome. Amazing video. Congratulations for you both. I just loved this video.
I am Hasan, I am from Turkey, I live in Diyarbakır, you are a very nice family, I am happy to host you in my country.❤
Any Mesopotamian cultural elements they put the name Turkish on it and made it Turkish, Anatolia had all those food and drink cultures 1000 years before Turkish invasion and now the endogenous people of Anatolia and Mesopotamia are oppressed and all their long civilisations and culture has been stolen from them. And introduced as Turkish to the world , that’s not Fair
@@simko28💩😂😂
@@simko28All stolen from kurdish kitchen, kurdish food and kurdish culture. This world is full of lies! They stolen everything from kurdish people and banned the kurdish language, denied our identity and stolen our culture. But I am happy that hell for liars and oppressors and heaven for poor and oppressed peoples exists.
I am Hasan too but I’m Kurdish from Maraş😂. Diyarbakir is filled with Kurds, surprised your not one of them?🤔
@@Hasan_C_2004ahhahaah yh first time heard a turk from Diyarbakir ( a kurdish city occupied by turkey)
as a Turk-man from Iraq, pleased to see a Turkish culture represnted in London, then the people would have an idea of what they might encounter if they visit Turkiye or other Turkic states, like Azerbaijan, here in Iraq, (Mosul, Erbil, Kirkuk..) not only shops we have but whole villeages and towns as well (Türkmen toplumundan saygılar)
My hubby is also a Turk-man from Baghdad, we live in the North East of England.. he came over here when he was 20 yrs old when he joined the merchant navy… he has just gone 62 yrs old a couple of days ago, so he has lived here longer than his own Country! Our favourite place to visit is Istanbul…. Maybe we need to try this area to eat and save ourselves some floos ££s 😂😂
most are Kurds and wouldn't be happy if you called them turk, i found out the hard way, they corrected me and i will never make that mistake again
@@mikeriley3556Kurds are different religious tribe they’re also like nomads living in many many countries including mine
@@bekabeka71 they are from Kurdistan and are fighting for their freedom from turks, Arabs and Persians
London is indeed a cosmopolitan city.
I love the Turkish people, always so friendly. There are many Khurdish people in the UK now and I must say that they really are equally as friendly, a real privilege to have them nearby. Hopefully their enthusiasm and welcoming nature will rub off on us.
ISLAM INDIA & BLACKS are tajking over the UK all you cultures have no diversity & are destroying Britain the real racist
Why don't they have mass immigration
I met lots of khurdish too in north London, lovely people. I met some turkey too, they really looked after us.
Thank You as a Turk from London. Turkish People are very hard working and very hospitable. We love how our cultures blend and make great friendship.
and they are also the most racist and envious people you could ever meet. They attack other people's shops in Turkiye and sabotage them because they are full of envy and hate.
They are cheaters and they charge tourists different prices that Turks. Taxi drivers are mafia-like in attitude.
I can write a book on the awful attitude of the Turks towards tourists.
Hangi restoranlardan uzak durmalıyız lütfen?
It's true! I went to London yesterday, and there was literally no-one there who wasn't Turkish. Every single one of the 11 million residents of the city was Turkish.
I’ve been to Turkiye a few times and have always had a good time. Lovely people and great cuisine.
That is brilliant, thanks for all the information going to Turkey for the first time in September I cannot wait 🇮🇪
I hope it will be a great holiday for you Sean. Greetings from Dublin 🇮🇪
@@muhammetcelik7738 thank you very much, I'm sure it will be amazing
This is so cool. It would be so nice, if you could make something like series about this, Turkish Communitys and Streets all over the world. I bet, there also places in Australia, USA etc.
I may do that !
And the race starts!
Most places are better than Turkey, so they flee to almost anywhere.
Hi Mick & Trudie love watching you both my father is a Turk i love watching you travel around Turkey and was surprised to see you near my home town of Tottenham
Good Luck with everything you do 👍
Love this video thank you for being interested in my country your speaking was great! 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
absolutely perfect content, its great to see turkish community in uk with this perfection.
Turks love England and London so much Dear Uncle Mick and Dear Trudie.🥰😍🤗
We love the Turks 🤠🇹🇷
Türkler aslında oraları seğmez oraya dolar kazanmaya gidiyorlar sonra parayı alıp geri geliyorlar😂
What a day, what a moment. Thank you so much for the video.
It was a great video. I am a Turk living in London. I watch your videos when I miss my country. At the same time, thank you again for showing the Turkish community in London.
I spent a summer in Fethiye some years ago, and now live in West London. Green Lanes is somewhere I travel to reasonably regularly to eat out and to stock up on a few Turkish essentials. Love it 👍🏻
Something I'd still like to find is a really good Turkish breakfast in London, can any readers recommend a good restaurant or cafe?
I can definitely recommend Koyum Restaurant, 735 Tottenham High Road, opposite the Spurs stadium, delicious Turkish village breakfast.
@@bronaghozyun7417 Brilliant, thank you!
There is a Turkish cafe, in Enfield, called La Vida they make good Mediterranean brekkie and menemen. It’s rated 5* on Google
NZURI SANA
If Tottenham is too far for you, you can take a look at Kilis Kitchen in Islington, They fulfill a classic tradition called "Turkish Breakfast Buffet", especially on Sundays, this is the best time to go.
haldun abi really looks so gentleman. it is really nice to see that the turkish cuisine is represented in UK, and in fact you are talking turkish so fluently!! it was such a heartwarming video, i hope i'll find the opportunity to visit London one day!
What a great post. Very informative. Mick your Turkish speaking is a delight. Cheers.
I went to turkey last year I was drinking Efes beer for 7 days had a great time the Turkish people were nice people
A group of wealthy Turks bought whole street in London.
Antepliler maybe
10:12 Perfect timing with the Bus and his Turkiye advertisement 😂
Well spotted
wow ...I am impressed by your fluency in Turkish...wonderful to see this part of London!!!
Turks showing how immigration should be done ❤
Bosfor, Bodrum, Kemer, Konak, Taksim - favorite turkish restaurants in Moscow on Arbat Street.
You folks are awesome… thank you for an exceptional video…
Maşallah Mick you speak Turkish language very well 😊
Nice to see you guys in London. Unfortunately I don't get a chance to visit Green Lanes as I live in Romford but it looks like there are a lot more Turkish shops than we had 1980s. Have a great time. Best wishes
Turkish should stay in Turkey 😂 ide rather see pie and mash any day 😂😂😂😂
People I know ran the Willow pub Romford which is now a Turkish restaurant like in Green Lanes as also their is another one in Romford my mate swears by their freshly baked bread
@@misterman3643Do you know of any English Resturant.... There was a pie and mash in Peckham which has closed and don't know if the other one on Romford is still going with John Terrys mum working there
truly lovely! keep going on please :)
Thanks for featuring Green Lanes! I live here currently (right on Green Lanes above the shops). It's lovely to learn more about this truly special neighbourhood, renewing my appreciation for its quirks.
Lived in this area for over 50yrs,it was predominantly a English/Cypriot neighbourhood but since the late 90s it changed as neighbourhood often do but the pubs have mainly home only remaining is Finsbury Tavern,Beconfield,Old Ale & Sailsbury)my favourite is Ole Ale emporium decent ppl,prices & sports all day.
Interesting video. I used to live in Haringey in the 60s. Much has changed since. Both Wood Green and Turnpike Lane are on the Piccadilly Line but Harringay Green Lanes Station is an Overground station.
😊👋🏼🧿 Thank you to you both for showing our lovely and wonderful Turkish culture 🧿
Teşekkürler
I’m from Algeria and I’m travelling to London since 2001, the first area I have discovered is Harringay, and I would like to thank you for this beautiful video.
,merhabalar gene çok güzel bir video olmuş..bizler sizin ülkenizde sizler bizim ülkemizde yaşıyorsunuz..ne güzel.Gerçekten türk sokağı gibi görünüyor cadde, çok hoş..birde yemek seçeneklerini olduğu gibi ingiltereye taşımış vatandaşlar bayıldım..başka şehirleride çekermisiniz..teşekkürler iyi geceler.
Maybe 🤔
you are great. I really like watching you. If I ever come to England, it's good to know that such a place exists
Hi Mick, just came across your videos recently. Excellent videos. Just one thing that I noticed; you have never mentioned Turkish Cypriots. As Cyprus was a British Colony from 1925 to 1960, Cypriots came to London from 1930's. Some are 4th generation Londoners. I have been here nearly 50 years. Turkish people from Turkiye started arriving many decades later, possibly late 1980's early 1990's.I enjoyed a few of your videos and subscribed. May be we will one day in person. Selamlar!!!
I love your videos I’m Turkish who s been living in the UK for 19.5 y thanks for your great works and time x
I came from Kenya to settled in London in 1971 with my family in Eeling
I got married in 1978 and moved to Turnpike Lane Hornsey my kids grow up in North London but then my Dad took I’ll and moved to Harrow We still miss Turnpike Lane we lived there for 22 years lovely place to live
I got married in 1978 and
Hi Mick and Trudie, another great video from you. I'm from London and so I know Green Lanes well. When my daughter's father came over in 1994 he immediately started working there but after the first week he left and got a different job locally to us. The thing I find is that I prefer the kebabs in UK which are much better than the ones in Turkey. I have always said that. 😋
Visited Istanbul and the food was average yet in both London and in Hamburg it's very good.
I agree with u about the kebabs in Istanbul(city of thieves) the portions are tiny whereas in N London they r huge
It depends where you eat, there are lots of bad kebabs, doners etc. around turkey but if you know where to eat, you would absolutely like it. Also shop owners in different countries alter their food for their customers, doesn't matter where you're. That can make you like more food in your country because it's close to your used taste. I was in Berlin last week, I nearly hated all Turkish food I tried that but probably Berliners likes it. About portions, sadly turkey's economy getting worse and food quality, portions are dropping down.
Hi, actually the kebabs in Turkey prepared for the Turkish tastes. We can eat sushi in istanbul but i couldnt eat in Japan. So the kebabs in London they are prepared for English taste.
The restaurant looks very good thank you mick and Trudy
What a great video, lovely people. I'll be honest, I thought this was going to be negative but it's awesome! Thank you.
❤❤ great video
There is also restaurant’s on kingsland high street in Hackney
My favourite place is called Şömine
Their Paça Çorbası is fabulous
Also in Tottenham and Edmonton
Green lanes has been like this for years since the 70's - I grew up here and went to school with lots of Turkish kids - it goes from Harringay down to Newington Green and beyond down to Stoke Newington and Dalston. It was funny going to Turkey on Holiday and it feeling like Green Lanes but sunnier. Cant beat the food. Never forget the massive Watermelons and cake shops. Funnily enough there were less barbers in Haringey and most at the Newington Green end.
Used to be Greek Cypriot back in the 80s, they have since moved out to Palmer's Green effectionately as Palmer's Greek....Ironically Green Lanes Palmer's Green.
Easily North London has the most and best Restaurants in Britain with the biggest variety.Finchley with Persian and Japanese Foods.....Willesden with Brazilian...Turnpike Lane/Walthamstow Pakistani....Great Italian everywhere...veitnamese Shoreditch...West Indian in Dalston so many more.
The saddest thing is there are no English Resturants

And introduced as Turkish to the world , that’s not Fair
@@simko28 Turks have been in Anatolia for 1000 years and it is our country. This will not change. Turkish culture has been understanding of the traditions and identities of different nations throughout history. The Seljuks created a Turco-Persian state. Jews were expelled from Spain and took refuge in the Ottoman Empire. Also,while there were sectarian wars in Europe, Christians were more peaceful in our land. We knew how to adapt and were able to combine many different cultures and languages within ourselves. No nation has ever descended from the sky suddenly. Can you tell us the identity of those who lived here 10,000 years ago and built Göbeklitepe? Be assured, each person takes something from the others. This is the rule of the human history, accept it and stop crying.
Even on the buses has advertise about Turkiye 10:14 :)
I remember going to several gold shops in Green lanes over 20 years ago looking for a ring for my Turkish wife. Loved the restaurants there and the atmosphere. The traffic unfortunately can be like Istanbul always busy very busy ..
Oooh thank you both, we adore Türkiye & have been many times. We miss the beauty, the food & the people but we are in UK. This would be a great weekend mini holiday.
What a great job you're doing. God bless you and your family😇
Another great video, very informative. Thank you again.
Thanks for the video I have been living in the Uk since only two years I came directly to Birmingham, I have heard about that street but I didn’t know it is that beautiful, I am a subscriber now to your channel, cheers
Great watch. Will check this area out on my next trip to North London 🙂
Lovely video! I love how they didn't actually make it exclusively Turkish and everyone is enjoying the meals and the lovely faces.
Thanks for showing us around! :) bless you
Nice video guys. Bye the way "salgam suyu" is not blackcurrant juice, It is beetroot juice. Since I retired and moved to Northern Ireland I miss having Turkish food. Watching this video made me homesick. I miss visiting Green Lanes.
I didn’t say, blackcurrant juice, I said black carrot juice yes it does taste like beetroot juice a little 🤠👍

We both really appreciate your efforts 👌 to make it.
Wishing you both good health and happiness Simon and Beth ❤🙋
Woow, you speak Turkish! Well done! Very informative video, thank you for sharing it.
i love green lanes but it's not all Turkish some shops are Jewish and Greek as well, but the best good value restaurants are Gokyuzu and antepliler which are Turkish. when i go these places i always have to have doggy bags as there is so much food. it's nice.
Thank you for the video, it's nice to see traditional Turkish cuisine in London, I'll move to England as well.
Hi Mick and Trudie! Yet another great video from you both! Your videos are of great quality, very informative and interesting to watch. It’s nice seeing you guys in London, Green Lanes where there is a strong Turkish and Kurdish community. Thank you for the content 🎉
Good luck with your channel 🤠
it's mostly Kurdish, and they don't appreciate being lumped in with turks, because of the turkish oppressive history against Kurds

Love cosmopolitan areas where you can get loads of gem 💎 ethnic supermarkets and restaurants…i tend to use the ethnic shops more than supermarkets for food shopping… they are an aladdins cave…. Spices exotic fruit etc…. Will be visiting this area on my next visit to london 🥳🥳🥳… since visiting Turkey I LOVE the sour cherry 🍒 juice😋…
Vişne suyu 🤠
I'll always respect London's Turks for proactively guarding the neighbourhood during the 2011 riots.
Awesome... not far from me. You should have popped over to Dalston (Hackney). There's a very large Turkish community there as well. Lot's of shops and restaurants... a couple of big mosques as well 😊
Next time!
I never knew there is a Little Istanbul in London. This will be a place to visit when I go down to London again in future.
Food food food !!!
There isn't! You could equally call a lot of Dalston a turkish area.
Just need a load of kitties now to make it purrrrfect 1😺😺😺

Thank you sir and madame. It was a well informing and pleasent video to watch. Love and respect from Türkiye.
Another wonderful video👏👏many thanks to you for telling all the details about Türkiye and even little Turkiye in London with appreciable kindness. We learn a lot from your lovely videos. There is only one small mistake I would like to correct if you don't mind; şalgam suyu is not blackcurrent juice, it's turnip juice, blackcurrent is like black grape:) I will keep following you🙂💐
It’s a great area the Turkish are a big part of the community and have been especially green lanes since the 1960s 👌🏻 🇹🇷

Green Lanes from Newington Green to Palmers Green shows how Turkey and Greece really enjoy eachother' s company and get on , and have always invited eachother to weddings/BBQs/ Birthdays. Been in UK nearly 40 years , grew up North London/Herts, now New Forest ❤
I didn’t mention in the film but the the Turkish Simit Saray shop was actually owned by a Greek gentleman 🤠
Love this! I live on Green Lanes but the Palmers Grn end. We're very lucky with all the restaurants
Startling! So, Harringay is a must-visit Turkish colony when in London 😍 😎
40 years ago, when i lived there, green lanes was a cypriot community, both turks and greeks. the greek bakers were first class!
All the Cypriots both Greek and Turkish have moved down Green Lanes and can be located in Palmers Green Winchmore Hill Southgate Barnet area
My wife was eating in Hala,just along the street,so many good places to eat!
When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter everywhere.
Homeless people sleeping in doorways. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they urinated on the streets. It's a sad declined country
its really amazing to see you guys happy and free in other countries but its opposite back in your country 😢
As white people they probably feel uncomfortable in their own land like most white idiots
It would be very nice if our government (esp. ministry of tourism) honoured you with a govermnent award.

They are mainly Kurdish origin from turkey you need to get your facts right if your going a video about the community
I would like your assistance in suggesting appropriate ways to refer to the fusion of Turkish and Kurdish cultures or identities. I have learned that in Turkey, such fusion is commonly referred to as "Türkiyeli." However, I am curious to know what would be an appropriate translation to English. Anyway, the shortened form of Turkish citizen or Turkish resident as "Turkish" is also eligible for me. Finally, it makes "Turkish Kurdish" who is a descendant ethnically Kurdish and has Turkish resident or comes just from Turkey.
As a respectful and curious individual, I would like to use appropriate terms when referring to this fusion of cultures or identities. I appreciate any insights or suggestions you can provide.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

If they love Turkey so much, why do they live in England? This is trying to change the current system. This may seem cute to Turks, but not to a British person. I live in Turkey and I don't want Arabs to do the same thing in my country. they can't do it anyway
