About this chant
"Oh East London!" is a prominent rivalry chant frequently heard during West Ham United matches, both at the London Stadium and on away travels. Long established at the Boleyn Ground before the club’s relocation, the song asserts the cultural superiority of the club’s traditional East End heartland. The lyrics contrast the perceived virtues of the local area with a dismissive assessment of North London. This chant serves as a declaration of regional identity and is often sung with high energy to foster a sense of collective pride among the fanbase. By highlighting geographical tensions, it reinforces the club’s deep-rooted connection to its home territory while maintaining a defiant stance against regional rivals from across the city.

Oh East London, Oh East London Is wonderful, is wonderful. Oh East London is wonderful, It’s full of tits fanny and West Ham, Oh East London is wonderful. Oh North London, Oh North London Is full of sh*t! Is full of sh*t! Oh North London is full of sh*t! It’s full of sh*t sh*t and more sh*t Oh North London is full of sh*t.
