That area is a bit of a potential tinder box by virtue of the various communities in close proximity to each other.
Most of the time people stick to their own and it's a form of 'townships'. (If you remember how South Africa used to be)
So there's an uneasy peace until there's a festival or celebration or, more likely, 'officialdom' in the form of the police or civil enforcement having to enforce law to protect a suspected victim or similar.
And then it'll all kick off after dark.
Usually young men with or without 'consent' from the 'elders' in the community.
Toxteth
Broadwater farm
Brixton.....etc.
