Snobbiest places in the UK?

[phranes]

Following from similar threads about overrated and underrated places in the UK... where are the snobbiest places in the UK?

From the places I've been, I'd say Harrogate, Oxford, and the rest of the Cotswolds.

BINGO!!!!!

My town has been mentioned

I knew it would be.

Virginia Water, Sunningdale, Ascot, Weybridge

Hove, actually

Wilmslow has really ghastly modern architecture that manages to be boring and ugly all at once (not even ugly in an interesting way).

Well I could tell you but i won't as we don't want any riff-raff turning up gawping at us on their day orf.

Absolutely agree with Harpenden and St Albans. Makes me sad as I grew up in St Albans as a working class kid from a multicultural family and it wasn’t as full of middle-class moneyed wannabes back then.

Also Sutton Coldfield. PP summed it up perfectly!

@Tangledtresses 🤣

@Hoolihan

Beaconsfield.

I second this. I live in a town about 15 mins away which isn’t anywhere near as posh! I find most people there turn their nose up at you.

@PremierLynn

Slough

😂

villages and towns in the new forest!

Ahhhh I grew up in the prime WAG lands in Cheshire mentioned here...I didnt find people snobby but they certainly reacted oddly at times to my very southern, cut glass Mum! (Inverse snobbery perhaps?)

I would say Salcombe. All flipflopped, sail coated, unbearable locals.

The snobbiest place I’ve lived was in Perth. and there is absolutely no reason to be. The snobbiest people I know from elsewhere are from Perthshire originally.....🤔🤷‍♀️

The real rich aren't snobs, the ones who can afford really big country homes, or landed gentry.

It's the one's who aspire to be better than they are, who will never be as rich as the wealthiest. Dare I say, the middle class.

I’m cracking up at Luton being snobby. However, I am a Lutonian working in the next town along (different county) of Harpenden and I can categorically tell you that they are the most snooty, ill mannered, entitled people I have ever met. They’re obsessed with money ‘old money’ ‘new money’ 🤮

@Notcis50
It's more noticeable near Corby, I live in East Northants and it's not too bad here, I live on the Northants/Beds border, its fine really, the Northants villages near me are OK, I won't mention the Beds ones

Barnes, SW London - they resisted having a bus route for years as they didn't want the type of people there who relied on buses. Even getting a small Sainsburys local upset some

Seconding Solihull. So much obsession with not being thought of as a suburb of Birmingham. When I was growing up there there was a campaign for Solihull to get its own phone code and not be tainted by being 0121.

Wrea Green in NW

Beaconsfield alsooo lolllzzzz how can they be snobby? It's a a small town just off a motorway? 😂😂😂

Yes to Beaconsfield ( and basically all the other villages that aren’t High Wycombe)

Cobham
Reigate
Godalming

Disagree with Chichester. Its got a right old mix of farming/ poverty Polish/sailing / Londoners for everyone to find inclusion.

Yes to Sutton Coldfield, which despite desperately trying to claim otherwise, is part of Birmingham (not that there’s anything wrong with Brum).

Geneva. Although I suppose it’s not really snobby as it’s absolutely awash with cash & gold.

Winchester
Farnham

@MamaWeasel

Solihull

Chelmsley Wood's in Solihull

Those that have said Sutton Coldfield, I wouldn't say all of Sutton, imo Four Oaks is the snobby bit.

oh we're defintely better than jaywick

Can anyone tell me more about Jaywick?
