I lived in upton park a few years ago next to upton park market, it werent all that then, i hear its disgusting now

[@TonionDuFromage]

It’s not disgusting.

[@Zlervo]

Wow. Even back then, they were saying it was finished. They should see it now. 😢

The Asian invasion in the 90's injected some rejuvenation it needed. Now the area seems to have a mix of the European influence

[@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081]

Yes a lot of Romanians and Polish. I used to live by nearby Rochester Avenue. I guess the "Asian invasion" is not a bad thing as most of those shops would have been still empty to this day.
