{UAH} MATOOKE HOUSE, DEPTFORD HIGH STREET, SOUTH EAST LONDON,, UK

The famous MATOOKE HOUSE, Ugandan grocery store in Deptford, South-East London. Around the corner is AFAB STAR Restaurant run by Michael Meme, and further up the street 5 Hair Salons run by baganda women, AND A MINI CAB OFFICE RUN BY ANOTHER MUGANDA MAN.To the East is Pechkam where there is a very huge African population. To the south, 3 miles away is Greenwich and then  Woolwich where you will find the famous watering hole called Wandegeya.  This small area of London (Peckham, Bermondsey, Greenwich, Charlton, Lewisham and Woolwich has the largest concentration of Ugandans in the UK.- numbering anything between 5,000-10,000. It is also the area where I have spent nearly 20 years of my life ( actually the area I have lived longest in my entire life), my children are born here in this area and is  a place they know as  "HOME". Many Ugandans have started to set up small businesses, but a large number also remain unemployed and unemployable sadly. The distinguishing feature of ugandans South East london in the UK is how united they are. If only they behaved this way at home, our country would not be in the mess it is in today.
