The most dangerous area of Oxford, full of chavs and bald men. If you walk in the area past 7pm you may be g checked. Prepare to encounter roadmen on Balfour Road, so avoid it if possible. People try to make it sound nice, but in reality it's not.
Mo: Want to go to blackbird leys later? My friend lives there.
John: No I don't want to die.

Blackbird Leys is the roughest bit of Oxford, youths roam the streets and pick on anyone, whether they be an outsider or a local... at least that's what most people in Oxford think it's like. But really, it's actually an area with a strong sense of community spirit. There's no over entitled students around here, no one asking for money, no tourists. Just a proper working class community. There's chavs, like anywhere else, but most people on the estate are ordinary folk whose families have lived here for decades.
Me: You should actually come and see Blackbird Leys for yourself, it's a proper place that's actually down to Earth.
