10 Most Hated Towns in England

- What are the most hated towns in England? No matter how good a country is, every part of it can’t be loved equally. In fact, some parts of it are bound to be hated. Even the most fanatic lover of a country will love some parts of it less than others. I have heard some people complaining about some towns in England, the home of the Queen that some people are dying to live and work in. That prompts research into the 10 most hated towns in England.
This ranking is based mainly on the comments and complaints of residents of England and visitors to those towns. But it’s not limited to that since some complaints can be completely baseless. We dig deeper in researching these 10 most hated towns in England.
10. Slough
Let’s begin with Slough, a town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This town is 20 miles west of central London and 19 miles northeast of Reading. You will find the town in the Thames Valley and within the London metropolis around the area at the intersection of the M4.
In spite of its location, Slough according to those visitors, is a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets or empty beer cans. This assertion hasn’t been contradicted by even just one resident. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can get away with.
9. Scunthorpe
It’s not desirable to find Scunthorpe among the most hated towns in England. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to take it out of our list because the facts obviously place it there. This industrial town in the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire should normally be the pride of Lincolnshire as its main administrative center. But the town with an estimated population of 82,334 in 2016 had many things going against it.
Residents of the UK’s largest steel processing center, also known as the Industrial Garden Town, are frustrated by a lack of the liveliness and diversity in the town only known for work. However, the loudest grouse that lists Scunthorpe alongside the most hated towns in England is the indiscriminate censorship and blocking of websites for spurious reasons.

Wow, you’re really great as providing facts. Who ever knew that Scunthorpe had a population of 82million plus? That’s some town! It’s even bigger than the whole of the UK population!
It says 82,334 million, which is over 82 billion, several times the population of the Earth!
It said 82 thousand
@@stuartbrent6506 it says 82,334 million - 2016 population
He said 82334, but 82334 million is wrote, which is over 82 billion, I guess we're both right
@@stuartbrent6506 Did you not see the caption? Maybe the "million" was added as a test to see how alert the people who watched this video are!
I grew up on the St Helier estate in South London...built in the 30's when they gave a thought to community - they built quality solid brick houses, schools, hospitals, shops, etc. within the estate. Now it's all about profit and little else.
I remember that when I lived in Surrey England years ago! I had mates on roundshaw and used to hang around by the merry go round but way too young to get in..i went to stanley park high school for a while. Live in Ibiza now, have for years !! My mate paul,lane lived in st hellier estate. ❤😂
Im sick of OUR british places having rules bcs some or other effin religion etc wont allow it.. they can Piss off.. but ofc the uk welcomes everything and one with open arms allowing them to rule parts of OUR country
St. Helier Hospital was a terrible dump in the 90s, as my poor wife can attest! Wretched, huge Council Estate that needed blowing up - Mr. Putin, please oblige.
Willows High School for Girls. Not the worst and not the best.....but we knew we were girls 😏
And yet if you believe certain historians, England in the 1930’s was a terrible place, run by unregulated capitalists and there was no welfare state to speak of.
Great comments! - Cunning narration and extremely pleasing photo gallery as for the list I take the conclusions with a pinch of salt!
Omg Chatham! My daughter has just spent 7 years at the wonderful fort pitt grammar school and there will be a lot of regeneration to come so hopefully it will be a loved town soon. My goodness please visit chatham dockyard, what a wonderful preservation .
Untill the plans go through and they destroy it to build housing.
Agreed. I was brought up in the Medway towns and now live in the southwest. When my daughter said she wanted to go to UCA , now next to Fort Pitt.School (formerly known as Medway Technical High School),I was gob smacked. It was still as depressed as it was in my youth and hadn’t changed much since the 70s when I lived there.
Love Chatham..it’s history, it’s connection with Dickens , it’s riverside properties, St Mary’s Isand….it’s beautiful 🤩 if you want terrible go and live along the Commercial Road east London!
@@annglaister Hi Ann, you are definately on my wavelength. I live near Cobham so very near to a lot of Dickens haunts.
Medway has a lot to offer… I love living here. The history… travel links. Location… cost
Didcot, I live here. Ok not the most dynamic place, but gangs at every turn!? Gangs of kids leaving litter behind whilst hanging out enjoying the weather in the parks is about as as dodgy it gets!
So that's why it's such a trash heap
I bet those same areas in the fifties were perfectly respectable towns, maybe a bit on the industrial end of things, but not crime hotspots.
I grew up in south London, very average, but with a rich history, parks and open spaces where children played, for the most part safely.
It was close enough to London by public transport which I, as a teenager, did not fear to use. Today, as an adult, I would hesitate.
The world in general is a less violent place than it was 50 years ago. Statistics confirm this.
I was born in East London in the fifties an haved lived in Kent and now Lincolnshire. Over the years I have driven H.G.V's all over the country, and largely agree with the video and could probably add quite a few more towns. A lot of the problems are brought about by over population and a drop in personal pride from the population and disregard for their local community and just ask what is everybody going to do for me?
I grew up in East London and then moved to Lincolnshire and now further north. Best thing I ever did.
@@hey12542I was born and raised in Lincolnshire and would’ve rather grown up in a major metropolitan are.
May I ask what possessed you to move there?
Agree 100%
@@hey12542 agree 100% with you 😀
Every town & city in Britain consists of boarded up shopfronts, Bookies, fruit machine arcades, coffee & charity shops. They’re ghost towns at a weekend & I can see no end to the degradation.
I grew up in Dover, and I did not hate it at all. This was in the 1960s though, and I am a lover of history (although I hated history as it was taught in school and dropped it as soon as I could). I really loved the history of the place. I loved the cliffs. I loved the beach, swimming and sailing. I was lucky in that I lived in a nice road, beneath the castle and a large park and beyond that, the countryside. I loved the proximity to France, and the proximity to London.
It is a bit iffy there these days. Funding desperately needed, along all/most of Kents coastlines
He started with Slough.
Yes I was surprised to see Dover listed. The port must create lots of employment.
Visited DoverJust Two word's Never again. Most probably be OK when the Dighy's stop coming?
@@ttonypayne5077 Dover has been completely wrecked by a combination of social dumping from within the UK (especially from the less salubrious parts of London, Liverpool and Glasgow) and uncontrolled immigration (under whatever pretext) from outside it.
Lived in Didcot for 4 years and I like it here. Regularly have nights out and catch the train from here. Never had any bother!
A very amusing and well put together and entertaining video. Thank you. Very nostalgic as well. I've been to many of the towns mentioned and used to live in Luton. They're all actually fine. I feel people who criticise their towns are more likely critising their own lives. If you hsve friends and hobbies you tend to take from a town what it has to offer, rather than worry about what it doesn't have.
Aylesbury hosted some amazing gigs in the 80s, and it had Oven Ready records! Not been there for a while but back in the day it wasn't so bad.
As a young couple in the mid 80’s we sold our 2 bed flat in south London and bought a 3 bed house in Stevenage for the same price. Our children were born there and went to very good schools, we had good jobs, neighbours, friends.. loved it and was very happy but always knew it was not a place to grow old... 25 years later we moved to Dorset. I wouldn’t want to live there as a young family today it has changed for the worse
Slough - shockingly awful. Best Night Out - ASDA
I think it was Spike Milligan who said
"If the world ever needs an enema they will stick it in Slough"
Haaaaa ASDA, the home of the very plump shopper.
In hospital
This town has made me money
hahaha 24 hour opening
I can attest to the Luton comments . I was born there ,but emigrated in 1973, up until the mid 1960’s it was a somewhat dull industrial town where nothing much happened, however ,large infiuxes of immigrants made certain areas almost no-go & it was risky to enter the town centre at night. We had a neighbour who worked as a security guard at the Arndale Centre & he told us tales of how risky it was there at
night.
During the late 1960’s I worked in Stevenage. The Old Town was a pleasant, quaint place on the Great North Road, the New Town ,however ,was an unpleasant,drab,characterless place as were all of those new towns.
I live in the northern(cough original cough) of the 2 garden cities and the best description of Stevenage I saw came from a website called "ChavtownsUK", it was the only town that was titled on the site and it's title was "Chav Mecca". Fun facts: Stevenage had(probably still does) the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and STD transmission in the whole of Europe so had the biggest STD and AIDS clinics in the UK.
I think the city council hopes for a war so that enemy bombers and missiles can do some improvements to the town centre. Most depressing town centre in Britain, no architectural merit unless you're a weirdo that thinks square blocks of crumbling dirty concrete with some glass rammed in it looks good and always filled with noisy ignorant stoned chavs squabbling with each other about I dunno what.
Luton was desirable, aspirational and middle class about 70-80 years ago.
I don't like Stacey Dooley, she's a Lutonion. Kenilworth Road is 1 of my favourite stadiums I've been to.
@@mxbx307 Now it looks like Pakistan !
@@Sam_Green____4114 having lived there i couldn"t agree more
I grew up in Aylesbury, despite the overdevelopment, traffic and from experience of other towns it sure isn’t the worst town in England by a long shot.
Aylesbury is just dull & boring
Aylesbury is the pits and not a nice place to live in from my own experience.😢
and what’s your experience? Please do share…
My comment was based on my experience of it when i grew up. It was a great town. I went to quarrendon school. I left around the year 2001. And not had the time to revisit. So it could have changed. Every town now seems overcrowded and the infrastructure and services can’t cope with the influx in population. I left because of the property prices and moved to Derbyshire. But I have a soft spot for Aylesbury where I spent my childhood and teen years.
What a load of crap .. I live in Aylesbury and there are hundreds of worse places .. Colchester; Gillingham in Kent; Etc.
It’s not even the worst place in Buckinghamshire.. Milton Keynes is an absolute pits … muggers paradise and the Lakes Estate in Bletchley is on a par with any of the worst places you could ever have the misfortune to visit!
Basingstoke should be somewhere on this list . We spent a miserable Saturday lunch time there when our train to London had to terminate there due to high winds . We finished up in the worst Italian style restaurant I have ever been in , although to be fair it was crowded with local shoppers who all seemed to think it was marvellous . I guess it’s just a case of what you’re used to
I used to work in Slough. It's just depressing. It's as if modern town planners got their hands on it and then ran out of money, so they didn't even vandalise it properly.
I went to Slough once, it was shut.
I live there
@@nickyb5851 Does it count as living?
Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough.
@@christopherbarnett5554 It isn't fit or people now.
Hull and Bradford not on the list. And we all know why Dover is a dump now.
Aren't these cities...not towns..?
Canterbury has overtaken Dover as Kent shittiest town- full of London's dropouts!!
Because racists voted for brexit and ruined it?
They’re cities
I couldn't believe Rotherham didn't make the list
I wasn't surprised when Scunthorpe came up on the list!
To be fair to Scunthorpe the people there are friendly and not as rude as some of them in Grimsby!
If Typho put the T in Britain, who put the Cu*t ins Scunthorpe !
Scunthorpe has 2 or 3 main no go areas where everything is just shambolic in my opinion, the remaining areas for living aren’t too bad. The problem with Scunthorpe from when I was living there was that there are literally no facilities for people that want to do something that isn’t mainstream, which again contributes to the lack of diversity as explained in this video.
Hi baby how are you doing now i hope you are really doing good you are awesome looking at you baby makes happy when I look at your picture it is beyond my imagination that a creature like you really exist like a rose you make the garden so beautiful You are a diamond to any man that have eyes to see goodness of a womanhood Baby am Ben easy going person very understandable Am a civil engineer and a contractor I work at so many places like Asia Europe and Africa I love art craft and I write music I like ideal people when I see your picture am impress I want a good woman that understand what real love is all about who will understand me and perfectly be for me So we can build our world strong enough to care for each other I want you to be mine and I hope to hear from you soonest thanks
People on the internet aren't allowed to talk about Scunthorpe or Penistone.
Funny you should say that. My sister used to deliver door to door in that area. She said Grimsby people were very friendly but Scunnies were all miserable bar stewards!
Aylesbury was where they filmed A Clockwork Orange. I did a bit of teaching at the girls grammar school. I even bought a car there. It has gangs, so smart people live in pretty Thame nearby.
It was filmed at southmere Thamesmead I thought
@@roofingcontractors3349 You are correct she is not
Your wires are crossed- the Aylesbury Estate is a concrete housing estate in South London- but Clockwork Orange was famously shot at Thamesmead and also at Brunel University in Uxbridge.
There was some filming of a Clockwork Orange in Aylesbury but it was not used in the final released version
Parts of Milton Keynes are also very reminiscent of the movie. There are pedestrian underpasses that look and feel an awful lot like where the tramp got kicked in.
Surprised Rotherham is not on the list. It’s really gone down the drain since they moved loads of shops out to Parkgate.
Rotherham. Indeed how it could possibly have sunk further down the drain is a complete mystery to me.
As someone from Rotherham that is the only reason I watched the video. This town is just awful both in its appearance and morally
Wait and that's your reasoning, I can think of 1400 reasons and I'm not from there.
West Bromwich Tipton Walsall Wolverhampton dudley and Great bridge are the worst towns in the UK 👍
I live in Maltby and work in Rotherham and agree its an absolute shitehole
We emigrated from Catford s.e.London to Medway in the ‘80’s ..we love it, it’s like Cornwall, we are near to the beach, near to london we have beautiful country parks , good shopping areas, inexpensive houses, Charles Dickens loved it ..and if it’s good enough for Dickens, then it’s quite good enough for me 😀..
Doesn't sound like Cornwall!
Same.. love living here

I was born in catford
Anyone else surprised that Bradford isn't on this list?
Bradford is a city not a town
@@lightfootpathfinder8218 still a fucking shithole! Eurgh.
Bradford is a city
After watching this video, I came to the realization that during my years of studying in Britain between 1977 and 1984, I had unintentionally chosen two towns that weren't particularly well-known for their popularity: Stevenage and Huddersfield. It was in Stevenage where I completed my GCE A-Levels, and later, I continued my academic journey by pursuing a degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering in Huddersfield.
and how was it?
A certain religion seems to have been left out when Luton was mentioned. Is that why it's unsafe for people to let their children out at night?
EXACTLY same with Slough. This "political correctness" is very, VERY boring and stupid. Primitive religions DICTATE what a GREAT video maker CAN and DARES say. SO sad.
Kids shouldn't be roaming the streets at night... But I get what you mean..
They're not safe in the daytime.
The south east is being decimated
Absolutely I notice it right away.
And yes we all absolutely hate the Islam extremism & terrorism that’s happening there.
I live in Chatham. The local council recently won grants to improve the place and the work is already underway . Lots of development going on . The high street is pretty shit tho
I find Aylesbury OK. I could agree about Luton town, but some of the other choices seem odd to me.
I lived in Aylesbury for almost 20 years and I would say its harsh to call it the most hated town in Britain. I moved there in the 90's as it was cheaper to buy than Amersham/Wendover and Great Missenden. It's got good train links to London too with the Chiltern Line being one of the better ones. It's typically one of those commuter belt places that's sandwiched between 2 busier shopping areas (MK and Oxford) and what with current retail woes since the financial crash, it's high street has declined somewhat, but its not the most awful I've seen. Granted the town centre isn't the most picturesque despite being a market town, but I've seen far worse concrete monstrosities in other areas and from what I've seen on police docs on the TV, places like Luton and Northampton have far worse gangs and criminality.
I really dislike Aylesbury myself. Went to college there in 2002 and it depressed me! My mum died in Stoke Mandeville of cancer in 2018 so that didn’t help with my feeling of the place. It’s a very dull town.
@@blakaegI get where you’re coming from but it must be harder if you have a negative experience to associate the town with. Having since left Aylesbury I can maybe see it with fresh eyes but I still don’t think it’s the worst in Britain. Slough is worse imo. Went back to stay in Aylesbury recently for a few days and have seen a big change. There’s been so much housing development that the traffic in the town is just awful. The roads cannot cope. And from the town centre’s perspective there’s not a huge amount in the way of retail, mostly coffee and charity shops (in comparison to where I now live). That said, that criteria could be applied to so many towns in the UK in these current times.
It's sadden to know bucks counties have this crime cause I use to travel from London to Aylesbury 4 work and enjoy every miss esp ...driving through the Chiltern etc
Why on earth was Peterborough not on the list ...it's a sprawling mess with nothing worthwhile and the town center like many others is dead
Huddersfield. My home town where I lived for over 35 years. I was glad to get out of it and relocated , in 2004 ,to China to teach.
Happier now than I was back then.
Congratulation Aylesbury Council, keep up the great work. .
I have lived in Stevenage for fifteen years having moved there from Edgware. I am very happy here. We have a far nicer house than we had before and cheaper. We are near lovely countryside, we are on a very fast train line to London that takes 20 minutes and we have a fantastic theatre and a huge park down the road. The town centre is in the middle of being redeveloped and we have some very smart houses too. Have you ever been here?
It's one of the better "new towns" but could be better...
Edgware is an absolute sh*t hole endless roadworks. A brothel at night.
@@lv2465 Ahh...Come on! It's not that bad...Try Tottenham or Newham!
Jeez stevenage has its problems , but its Disneyland compared to the likes of Harlow , Crawley and various other so called new towns .
I did my basic training in royston and went into Stevenage many times it was a strange town I have to admit but this was the late 90s
None on your list seem particularly hateful to me, but I must admit I wouldn't like to live in Luton.
You obviously haven't been to West Bromwich (or Sandwell as its now called).
West Bromich is called a town but it's actually only a Bus Stop between the cities of Birmingham & Wolverhampton.
The place itself is passable but it's the accent of the locals that really grateson the ear....
By the way, I'm still trying to find out who put the c**t in Scunthorpe!
I grew up in Stevenage. It is a new town, laid out well, with even an extensive cycle track network. It does have its pleasant parts as well. Okay, it is not a quaint market town, but I have travelled extensively in the UK and easily think of many more dreary places.
growing up in it rn I don’t see how it’s that bad tbh 🤷♂️
Lived there for many years.. it really doesn’t warrant being in this top 10.. far worse places, what about Worksop and Northampton? far worse than Stevenage
Lewis Hamilton says it's a dump! 😂
Whenever I hear Slough, I always think of road wars programme on Sky back in the naughties
Can't believe Peterborough wasn't on the list...
I was surprised Grays wasn't no.1 - I think you need a revised list!
I've visited all ten of these towns at some point over the years but am very surprised how Swindon hasn't made this list.
I feel like the only thing that saves Swindon is Old Town itself. If you live there, its honestly wearing rose tinted glasses, espicially if you dont descend down the hill to get to the actual rotting and neglected Town Centre. Whats worse about the town is that from the very bottom of the Centre where Sir Daniels Pub is, that entire section was left to rot, so you get literal clumps like infection zones on a map where its dead zones filled with abondoned shops.
I've been to Luton twice, both for football, but arrived with plenty of time to look round. I thought it was ok, nothing much wrong with it. Slough, by contrast, was a town in which a friend and I drove into to look round after our team had drawn nearby Burnham FC in the cup. Slough was so drab and unappealing we never bothered to get out of the car. The only other town I've ever done that in was Holyhead, in the County of Angelesy, we were on holiday nearby and went for a look. I've never seen a place so depressing. I should add Holyhead has improved a bit since then.
Fort William ties with Holyhead
Go to middlesbrough!
Would be interesting to find out how many of these towns has benefitted from mass diversity!
You can bet all of them and many more.
As a Stevenagian myself, I can't dispute its placement. Shame there was no mention of the Valley Park
There are a lot of dead towns in England since the industry declined in the late 1960's and never recovered the problem was nobody noticed that this had happened until the late 1980's
People still don`t realise it , may have something to do with the political crap that still lingers every where
I think our lovely town also deserves to be on this list - Wolverhampton

It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow.

🤣🤣🤣 You guys crack me up, cheers 😂
never visited Bolton though, did he ? eh?? EH ????
Queen Mum hated Slough She would look out from the walls of Windsor Castle and see the town of Slough with its Industrial estate and Power Station chimney. I never could understand that because I could look out from Slough and get a beautiful view of the Castle.
Scunthorpes depressing and unhistoric, but theres some nice places nearby. Grimsby's not very good either, but it does have an ancient minster. Go to Cleethorpes if your in the area or Louth.
The most hated towns seem to have railyards, shipping ports, and old derelict buildings and not much else going for the towns that
exposes criminal gangs. 👌👌👌👌
Hi
These places are nice compared to Stoke on Trent !
And Newcastle under Lyme

This is about towns, whereas Stoke's a city.

The government have the army patrolling the coast now. Not to stop them from entering the country though. To stop native Brits from "interfering".
Yeovil- I went there very recently and it’s all run down! All of the buildings seem to be shut permanently. When I went I saw lots of sketchy stuff there. Very depressing.
I went to Yeovil recently and it was lovely. Only issue was that one pub I went into has 2 junkies kicking the shit out of each other. Why were they let in?
I lived in Slough in 1979/80, I like living there, I lived in Hitchin near Luton and I always enjoyed shopping in Luton, I lived in Aylesbury and enjoyed it in 2004/5 and I’ve always wanted to live in Hudersfield,
Went to Huddersfield a few weeks ago with West Brom, nice place from what we seen of it
Hitchin is lovely
Does anyone knows the name of the place of the image preview of the video? Looks like Surrey or Buckinghamshire.
1:55 Wow! I never realised Scunthorpe was so big! 82,334 MILLION people - that's about 10 times the population of the Earth 🤣
WOW, I lived in Huddersfield for many years and aim in going back, this is so full of untruths. I have never been robbed, lived in some lovely country areas there and found some wonderful people. i am unsure who supposedly supplied this incorrect info, obviously bitter people. Why are house prices very high for such a disgusting place ???
hello, i'm Jorge, a pilot from Lima peru, working with LATAM airline. i came across your page here through the utube suggestion for me so i thought to write to you. where are you from?
Write me when you can and do have a nice day and may God bless you .
Huddersfield does seem to have gone downhill tbh. Hearing about so many st*bbings happening there in the news. Me and my dad have been doing some building for a couple that live there and they told us a random st*bbing happened just down the road from them. It's sad. My dad used to take me to Huddersfield every year for Christmas shopping when I was growing up and it never felt uneasy back then. This was in the 2000's, so not even that long ago.
Can't be that bad, when I was a kid, around 80 years ago, I remember a funny short poem, At Huddersfield dear Huddersfield, there was a cow that wouldn't yeald, the reason why she wouldn't yield, she didn't like her udders feeled....... and I still remember it at 87 years old.
I'm genuinely shocked that the town of Havant near Portsmouth was not on this list. Unemployment is at 4.5%, 10% of the population with no qualifications and 10526 crimes committed between 2020 and 2021 which is 8% higher than the national average. The town is a walking corpse, with nothing going for it except pound shops, greasy spoon cafes and pawn shops.
it is a singularity of awfulness, and I'm glad I escaped!
Yes you forgot all the tattoo parlours and we even have a shop entirely devoted to snooker queues…and every second shop is a charity shop…I wish I could leave…
@@lizmacrae4970 ohhh year, how could I forget that!
It is possible to leave that awful shithole. If I can do it, anyone can
Similarly Waterlooville
@@brucebogtrotter9200 another total dump (although there are nicer bits of it, unlike leigh park lol)
Dover's is 103% higher than national average and unemployment is over 5%. Havant probably not far off top 10 mind
We all know what the problem in Dover is.
But we're not allowed to say it.
In fact, it's not one problem- it's about 65,000 problems a year.
Thetford in Norfolk should be here. It was a dumping ground for London 'overspill' in the 1960s/70s - somewhere for London councils to place council tenants they couldn't house in London. Thetford Council did little to improve the town and it's facilities, and the indigenous Thetfordians hated us Londoners - and it showed. What a dump. I was soooooo pleased to go back to London.
We moved from dump to dump in the 80s and 90s. Didn't find much. Maidstone, Grimsby...
Odd video really as some of the shots you show are really nice. I live in Harlow in Essex; there's an area of the town centre which is crying out for redevelopment. It's the pits, full of abandoned shops with smashed windows. Nothing has been done to it for years.
All together now, a great quote from the one time Poet Laureate - "Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough"
Really surprised Grimsby isn't on this list. Gotta say along with one on the list Scunthorpe and one that isn't Mansfield are the most desperate places I've been in England.
@J H Grimsby is ace
@J H I used to be a delivery driver travelling all over the country and my first few times going to Derby was in the winter and it was raining and just getting light. I used to think it was a shithole, but it looked totall different in glorious summer weather. Every time I've been to Grimsby it's been lovely and sunny, so it is confirmation it's a dump. Great people though.
@@pjo4622 I used to live in Willenhall Walsall. It's like a scar, it just seems to get slightly less bad every time you see it. But yeah Walsall is truly bad.
@@pjo4622 One place that's even more desperate is Darlaston. What a shit hole.
If you think Mansfield is bad wait til you see Rotherham
Didcot isn't the greatest but there is no real reason to hate it these days...the rougher pubs have disappeared...the Crown pub shown in this clip closed about 8 years ago...there has been some gentrification...it's a middle class town these days...it's surrounded by some pleasant countryside...there are many towns in the UK which are far worse than Didcot
and there is always the RAILWAY HERITAGE CENTRE
I agree if anything - Didcot has improved over the last 10 years. Compared to Reading - especially around Oxford Road ... it is downright idyllic.
thought didcot was a military garrison? full of ukranians now.
Before watching this video I had a 9 minute long unskippable ad💀
Last time I was in Slough there was a fight going on down near it.
Eton rifles 🤣✌️❣️🇬🇧
Slough - south Pakistan
Luton - central Pakistan
Dover - gateway to Pakistan
Gateway to pakistan😂😂😂
So true!
What about THAMESMEAD? Imeen I've been living here for over 50 years and know it's run down badly.

Thanks for sharing
The really amazing thing is that the buildings are so nice . There's so much to be said for all of the places but you get the sense that the people don't regard them as their own any more. Which I suppose is understandable looking at many of the demographics . And the total destruction of national identity or pride. Maybe if you want to fix that start with a little bit of national pride .
the pictures are fake, notice the american flags in the pictures, something the nonsense editor failed to spot.
@@rduggan2011 dude , what about the union jack ?
Corby was built for Scottish steel workers in England. Then they closed the steelworks.
Actually not ...the town(village) has been around since the Iron Age...around 5000yrs.....but yes it boomed once Stewart’s & Lloyd’s built the works.....and yes we were referred to as “little Scotland “......I was born there in the 1970s...and was a wee boy during the steelworkers strikes and for last 30yrs I’ve made south Florida my home.......it’s a crazy ,crazy wee town that makes u look over ur shoulder walking at night......
@@highlander72b69 Actually yes. The Iron Age was 2000 years ago. The name, like all by names is Viking. Until they built the steelworks in the thirties, the village was small and unimportant. I grew up nearby in Wellingborough in the sixties. The whole area has a lot of iron ore. The big scandal was that the local council built a grandiose HQ for themselves called The Cube, which went £ 12 million over budget, was five years late and needed many repairs. The scandal was so bad they abolished the council. But the steelworks is closed and 10,000 locals, mainly descended from the Scots, lost their jobs.
Corby still has a very large Scottish population and a lot of Scottish traditions take place locally.
Er no l think corby was there before the steel works was opened !
@@Sam_Green____4114 Gosh, you took your time. I wrote what I said seven months ago. Until 1910, Corby, a minor western outpost of the Danelaw, had 1500 local residents and was a small village. As a girl, I grew up in Northamptonshire and went to school in Wellingborough, and what I said is correct. Stewart and Lloyd set up a factory to process iron ore. In our back garden at Wellingborough the soil got waterlogged because of all the iron in the soil. The factory in Corby drew in a lot of Scots who had been unemployed. Having stranded them in Corby, British Steel closed down the works, leaving Golden Wonder crisps as about the only thing left. So, er no, flag waving or no, iron made Corby what it was.
Here's a more realistic list.
Lewisham, Catford, Forest Hill, Peckham, Sydenham, Camberwell, Brixton, New Cross, Deptford, Brockley...
Stevenage was one a nice place. The novel Howard’s End is set the, before the New Town.
Add the whole of London for a start. I am lucky managed to evacuate from there years ago.
Had a few friends and relations still there which i would go and see. But since the ULEZ and even having a car with road take of £30 quid, i would need to pay £12.50. Will never go there again.
My life is so much better.
Glad to have got rid of you!
There are still parts of London which are absolutely top tier and probably unrivalled anywhere in the UK. But they're also top tier expensive and you can still do better elsewhere.
Even a lot of older/middle-aged CEOs and FTSE fatcats live outside of London and commute in from the likes of Weybridge etc., despite being able to afford London no problem.
@@B-A-L I wouldn't blame anybody for escaping from London. Awful place.
The government need to crack down on people that litter and don't behave like human beings.

I am amzzed Grantham never made the list pound shop capital of Lincolnshire ps I was amused that your caption listed sunny scunny as having a higher population than the whole of the UK
In the video I saw a picture of Huddersfield which looks like the canal in Skipton.
How can slough be in berkshire and Buckinghamshire its one or the other there both counties?
Was in Bucks now in Berks.
The problem with Dover is that the cross-channel ferries have taken the town over. But at least it does have a decent castle.
I thought all the ferry lines are going out of business because of Brexit? But I saw a video a few weeks ago complaining about the traffic, and about missing sailings because of the lines of cars and trucks, so perhaps the ferries are still going strong. Maybe filled with refugees from Scunthorpe, Chatham and the rest of these most hated towns.
It's now the welcome to Britain reception centre for illegal immigrants!!
@@chrissharp5073 here here to that
cross-channel ferries ? is that what the rubber dinghies are called now ?? 😆😆😆
Anyone can give a fair review about Bilston? Is worth to move and live there? I heard crime rate is very high...
Having worked a lot in Luton, Slough and Aylesbury, I would go 123 in that order. I would also put Gravesend ahead of Chatham, being a Kentishman...
Can’t believe that Blackburn isn’t on the list.
to get to BURNLEY went through BLACKBURN but don"t remember it !
Doncaster should be in the top ten, similar to Beirut rubble and empty shops parading the high Street, new builds empty, not a place venture after dark.
I had to go there once in 1981. I was horrified then - God knows what it's like these days!
i was stationed at raf finnigley, and spent the last 40 years traveling through donny every week.
I stopped in slough on the way back from londin i really liked iit 😅 had a pint and food in a kenyan indian pub it was brilliant
where is londin?
i visited my cousins who live in the uk, slough and i can tell it it was an experience. i live in america and i see somewhat weird stuff but slough was pretty odd, first day im there, theres already a stabbing and theres like a whole crowd forming in the middle of the road, and my uncle was acting as if its just another day thing. went to a shawarma shop and a customer and a worker started fighting. went with my cousins to downtown and a crackhead was screaming for no absolute reason. went to a basketball court (uk basketball courts are actual trash, like do they not put any effort in the hoops) and 2 guys i was up against knew i was american so they literally talking their shit and kept on fouling me. so yea, slough was definitely an experience
I work all over the country and live in stevenage, i could think of 50 worse places than stevenage. You can safely walk anywhere at anytime unless of course you choose to be part of criminal activities your self. People tend to get hurt for reasons
You missed put Jaywick which is the most deprived in the UK. No investment for decades

I'd rather live in Jaywick than all these places... at least nobody bothers you there.
It's probably better than living in Bradford.
@@sunnyjim1355 and a nice beach too
@@MajimaEnterprisesboth of my sisters have Bradford postcodes, and yet they live in some of the most beautiful parts of Yorkshire with easy access to the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District. Admittedly they usually go to Skipton rather than Bradford for shopping, But Bradford is a large metropolitan area and includes many beautiful parts.
I'm from Stevenage, it's not great, but you got pictures from the nice part of the town 🤣
As someone who lives in Stevenage it’s actually kinda fun, there’s many pubs and some shitty playgrounds. When the fair is at fair lands valley it’s ight i guess. I recommend a pub called ‘pear tree pub’ in Stevenage. I’m well known there😭
Swindon is missing. It competes with Luton according to my 15 year experience over there lol
At least Swindon has a 'dogging' park.
Swindon rough as hell
central swindons a black ops 2 map
@@randompianist8359 🤣🤣🤣
I still remember staying in Swindon on a training course 40 years ago. Lots of very 'available' young women in our hotel bar most evenings ☺☺☺☺
Most properties in Stoke have plywood curtains.
Surprised that Telford doesn't feature on your list!
Hear a lot about other towns and places but nothing about the Tandridge area or Reigate & Banstead and I'm sure you'll find some stuff about these areas to talk about
I live in the Reigate & Banstead area and in comparison to what you'll find if you travel 10 miles north to Croydon, it's really not bad at all.
How is Banstead rough?
They used to say
"If Typhoo put the T in Britain...who put the c**t in Scunthorpe?"
Who put the c*nt in Scunthorpe? The same c*nt who put the grim in Grimsby
They still do.
Arthur Scargill ??
Add doncaster/beruit
The pub featured in the Corby clip isn't even in Corby, it's the Fighting Cocks in Corby Glen 😅
Again I'm confused how can Didcot be in both Berkshire and Oxfordshire?
