What's the worst place you've ever been in the UK?

[In2mindsss]

Ill go first.

Morecambe. Nice views but proper creepy.

Ouch 😅

It always had a pride and leant into the "second city" thing. Like you said, a city on the up.

It just felt like it's given up now.

North Wales is beautiful ❤️ All of it.

Was there last year, and was really horrified by how abandoned so much of it was

Anyone remember "Sluffs" nightclub in Slough?

Skegness

The “Norfolk nasty” 🤣🤣

I find aberdeens industrial port vibe very beautiful

Birmingham. My friend and I were ready to smash wine bottles at two men who followed us into our aparthotel (turns out it had no night reception!). I've always lived in cities but never had to do that before.

Gainsborough
Ipswich( changed so much over the years)
Manchester( not the worst but felt souless)
Workington.

I quite liked Sheffield.

Oban is beautiful!

I'll go for Airdrie.

Peterborough
Slough
Ingoldmells

I always expect Manchester to feel bigger and more buzzing than it actually is??!

I agree with a lot of mentions on here although my job relocated me to Blackpool for 6 months and I have to say, there are some really positive things about Blackpool. Some fabulous restaurants and Stanley park is gorgeous. There are some lovely period properties as well.

Not necessarily the worst but I visited Loughborough for work once and I thought it was a total dump. I genuinely was quite shocked that it attracted so many students as I felt like there couldn’t have been anywhere less exciting to be as an 18 year old - I wonder if it would attract any students at all if it wasn’t for the sports reputation.

Totally, one of the lovely East Neuk villages was where we were headed. Eastern coastal Fife is nice, the nice bit is the exception though.

Why please? I lived there until about I was about 4 but have no real memories of it.

I see your Airdrie, and I raise you Springburn.

Willesden London just run down and felt very unsafe

ive no idea why Grimsby isn’t featuring on this list!

Lowestoft - so deprived and feels dangerous
Kettering - a byword for me for provincial England, so depressing
Stoke on Trent
Wigan
Ilford

Was it ruff ?

Cumbernauld is also an absolute dump.

Basingstoke , used to visit there as a rep, soulless , full of industrial estates , Grimsby ….truly Grim and Stoke .
saw a couple of votesfor Portsmouth, I live here and it’s getting better . The sea front has been vastly improved, millions spent , and lots of regeneration going on Still dire in parts though esp town centre

It goes to show how places affect people differently, I love it there.

I mean, the power station is a bit of a blot on the landscape, admittedly, but otherwise you’ve got all those little bungalows, full of character (and hugely expensive now) wild flowers randomly growing on the shingle, a couple of fish shacks that have won awards for their food, the Pilot, which does the best cod in Kent and the best tartare sauce anywhere (chips are a bit disappointing though). You can sit in their pub garden of an evening, cooling down with the breeze and watching the kite surfers on the beach down the road. You’ve got the RSPB sanctuary, those giant sound bowl things, the nature reserve, alpaca walking just down the road and mini steam trains going past every hour in the summer. It’s so grounding.

Anyone secretly pleased that where they live hasn't come up (yet)? Though I'm surprised nobody has said London yet , as if all of it could be awful.
