Situated just outside of London, in Bromley- Borough. Hayes is one of the richest chav areas in Greater London. The Hayes chavs themselves are not troublesome, that is if you excuse their bad English and smelly roll-ups. It is the chavs that are passing through which provide the problem. Situated in the middle of the Bromley-West Wickham bus route, and at the end of a train line that connects with Beckenham and Lewisham means all sorts could be around. Hayes chavs don’t do anything, but if you haven’t a trained eye that can spot the fake sports brands you could be in for a beating. Bare beating.
Strangely few violent chavs dare venture into Hayes. Those who do are either part of the ruthless Hayes or Rigby schools, who proudly made themselves stars of the News Shopper after a police search found enough weapons to cause American concern.
The key areas to watch out for are the train station – infamous for the fore-mentioned police search. The local kebab and chicken & pizza shops just metres away; the wall outside the Harvester (opposite from the station) or if you’re brave enough to go through Hayes Village they can be found around the bus stop outside the off-license, or on the concrete bollards outside the town hall.
Fortunately the friendly-neigbourhood community police officers can often be found on patrol around these chavvy hotspots. Unfortunately, the chavs got wise, and now arrive in their Ped Death Squads, which luckily can be heard as they tear up Bourne Way at 30mph, heads down to minimise resistance, and engine’s roaring away with 50ccs of raw power.
Finally are the parks. There are 3 sites, which together make up Husseywell Park, and the grounds of Hayes Library. Regrettably all are positioned so that it is impossible to cross from Hayes Village to Hayes High Street without walking past a small army of jeering scum as I know only too well. One time, when travelling from the high street to the village, my companions and I thought it would be a most brilliant idea to cross through the park (without swings) – our thinking was that the chavs would not be here, it was too dark and there were no swings to pose on, or benches to graff up. As we approached a tunnel constructed of trees, much to our horror we heard laughing. Chav laughing – similair to that of a Hyena, only much much worse. Instantly survival instinct took over and we bolted back to the safety of the street, one friend, who I thought could not even run must’ve broke at least 5 world records. Y’see these are the chavs to be feared – the board says “closes at dusk” but Chavs can be found lurking in the dark well up to 10pm. Except in winter, when they all huddle around at the station to share warmth. The chav it would seem, is a creature that has evolved co-operation so that it may survive.
I have lived in Hayes all my life with the exception of term time when I boarded at Eton, I have never witnessed or experienced any of the circumstances mentioned.
I can only assume the whole article is fictitious, the descrption of tangible landmarks is incoherent. i believe this article is published out of spite or jealousy by an author who is not priviledged enough to live in such a green and pleasant area
I lived opposite Husseywell Park for 10 years then later in Hayes Street for another 8 years.
I cannot recognise the originator’s description of this lovely suburban area. I think that his posting is a joke.
What’s a Chav?
More to the point – who writes this nonsense and who cares anyway?
Can’t believe what I just read! This is absolute rubbish!!! Hayes is a civilalised placed and has minimal trouble. Literally couldn’t ask for a better place to live. Don’t listen to this person!
My Husband Neil and his home wrecking W***e Janice BXXXXX have moved here, suits them just fine.
I live in Hayes and am very upset by this remark. I came from living in Lewisham for 10 years and would say that Hayes is amazing, it’s just a different area!!
There are hardly any people like that and you have to know them to be able to say something like that so unless you live in Hayes or know people from there don’t make that accusation.
Orpington is the chav capital of the area
Wow….you’ll be bowled over by Bexleyheath then!
I’d hardly call Hayes Kent a ‘chavtown’. A rather extreme exagerration if ever there was one and I’ve lived there for 25 years. Try writing about some where with real anti-social problems.
I’m not trying to say that typing all those words was a waste of time, but honestly you have no idea what you are talking about. I went to Hayes sixth form and was previously at a school in Croydon and when I started at Hayes it was like a different world. The people are polite, friendly and about 95% of them are middle class with children who are likely to go extremely far in life.
Hayes is in fact one of the last proper communities in the south east of london and even has several tree lined country lanes running through it.
I could go on for a lot longer about how completely wrong you are, but I shall leave it at that.
Sorry you had to spend all that time typing out incorrect non-facts that just make you look a bit stupid.
P.S
Try writing about anywhere with a postcode beginning with CR0… and even Croydon isn’t exactly the Bronx or Compton (south L.A) We live in England, not Boyz ‘N’ The Hood
I can’t quite figure out if this is a joke or not… Hayes is the least chavvyest place I have ever experienced
Love how people are getting really defensive
Its a bit of fun!
Lived in Bromley/Hayes all my life and its hillarious
Of course its not really like that, but have a laugh!
And if you’re that bothered, go and have a look for yourself
To writer,
You must be stupid to walk through the park at night anyway. Also, I live here and know the area well whereas you don’t. If you do live here you must be a chav as well. This is a very select area which i love and you obviously went to the wrong place!
I have a sneaking suspicion that the person who wrote this hasn’t seen much of the world and has little to compare Hayes to! With its wide, tree-lined streets, a friendly ‘Saga’ population, a cute old village with a lovely church, lots of good schools and a very low crime rate, Hayes is a lovely place to live. It is surrounded by attractive green belt land and is in the county of Kent a.k.a ‘The Garden of England’ but is still within easy reach of London. Is all that really so bad? On occasion you may see groups of teenagers at the station, standing under pretty flower baskets (how many places still have flower baskets that aren’t vandalised?) but the teens are no harm and I’d suggest this is a common sight in most towns. I jog through the parks and around the common everyday and have never had any problems – in fact I am always pleased at how many strangers still say ‘hello’ or greet you with little nod, something you do not find in a lot of places. I’ll admit, the Harvester used to be a little ‘chavvy’ and wasn’t really used by locals, but following a recent change of management and refurbishment it’s now a decent place to go for dinner/drinks. If you want a safe, clean and friendly neighborhood with easy access to London, good schools and beautiful countryside, give Hayes a try!
Dumb bitches. This article was written 5 years ago, when you were 8 years old. Now Chavs are almost extinct due to the sudden rise in the Emo species- that means you too girls. although one inaccuracy is that Hayes was ‘ruthless’, not in my experience. F*ck dem c*nts
HA HA HA; this is a load of rubbish…
You will find more old people lurking about the train station and kebab shop at night ready to point their sticks at you and moan “in my day…”
You can find a few kids hanging about the kebab shop and as for the parks, chavs are so young these days they are not allowed out after dusk.
Times to avoid: 3-6pm when school finishes and the chavs gravitate towards the kebab shop for the chips and pitta bread offer and travel with the free bus pass on the buses for something to do
If you want to see a real life chav pack hop on the 314 down to New Addinton…
Hayes is not a chav hot-spot lmao. I think you would find that Hayes village is just small and full of old people with dogs, no one ever goes in the Hayes village library green so I have no idea where you got that from. Most of this is a load of rubbish, yes Hayes station can have it’s bad moments on the odd Saturday night but Hayes isn’t a bloody pikey town LOL. If you think it is you are extremely misinformed, sad and need to get out more and stop writing silly little false articles you know nothing about.
Yep, Hayes school was NOT involved in the weapons search. Part of the reason Hayes as a place is inhabited by chav scum is that Hayes station is the end of its line, so scum get on the train, vandalise it and harass passengers, and get off when they have to. Even during the day chavs are everywhere. Beware!
I used to go to John Rigby and since they have changed their name to All Saints High School because of that problem they had with that headmistress who stole all the funds…
J.R and Hayes studetns regularly meet in Bromley and beat the crap out of each other aswell.
and another point is that Hayes school was not involved in the weapons search. Get the facts before you start giving places a bad name.
the station road in hayes doesnt have traffic lights can i just say.
