Yes, I lived and worked in Ilford for all of the eighties and had been using it's nightclubs for a decade before that. I don't really do Facebook, but from what I hear from a mate who still lives that way the place has gone down the pan big time in recent years. The south of the borough has had major problems with violence, drugs and street prostitution and the once fairly posh area to the north of the High Road has downgraded considerably too. I was amazed to see the Palais was no longer there last time I went back, that was a town centre institution and the core of many happy memories.
It is a great shame really, as I have fond memories of the area.
