12 Worst Towns In The UK

“Well may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain …”

Not sure what the point of this video? He doesn’t even lay out his criteria for making his choices. What does come across is the impressive architecture of several northern towns, and the host’s sneering superiority.

I'm Irish myself and living in Ireland but a few years back my daughter and my granddaughter both moved to Stevenage , my daughter got a job there while it was another country I told myself it's easy to get and I'll be to visit them while I knew my kids would grow up one day you hope they will always be near by at least but I can tell you now that the people in Stevenage were very nice people and were good to our daughter and our granddaughter. In the years they were there in Stevenage I'm very proud to say not once did anyone in Stevenage did anyone ever call them names or give them a hard time for being Irish not once. In fact quite the opposite I would say so ,I found this Stevenage in something like this to be extremely harsh. So from a Irish gentleman we are very grateful to all the people of Stevenage and we all still keep a eye on Stevenage and the football team as well who when our daughter and our granddaughter were there had a very good youth football academy. Again thank you all our daughter and grandchildren are now back a few years now and I'm sure you'll all understand we are very happy for that God bless and take care also please remove Stevenage from list as you're being way to harsh on Stevenage and her people

As a proud citizen of Stoke-on-Trent I am outraged. We are WAY shitter than these amateurs.

This man doesn't have a clue what he is on about, be interesting to see where he lives

I would happily live in any of these places than live in most inner London Borough eg Hackney, Tower Hamlets, etc

You can't have seen many towns in Britain if you haven't seen any worse than these.

I can't agree with you about Halifax. I spend six months of the year there and it's a lovely town with lovely architecture, places to eat and the friendliest of people.

Really surprised, Oldham actually has a claim to fame even as one of the worst. You can also go with the high street is almost gone, the football team probably has less than 100 fans, the local council is getting rid of the inside market which is probably one of the only reasons people even go to the town centre. Is it really any surprise we locals have literally no pride in the place.

Bradford has to be the worst city in the UK. It really is a toilet.

You’ve missed out the biggest shithole of all. London and before anyone thinks that I’m from some part of the country that resents it. I was born and grew up and still live in The London Borough of Camden. It’s probably alright if your a billionaire but for the rest of us. It’s a hell hole

I'm from Blackpool and it's another case of the rich just all taking and no giving ,and a bunch of councillors who mostly live in richer nicer areas around outside of the town ,all very sad after everything the town has given to millions of this countries people over the years ,in the whole Fylde coast there is hardly any industry and since Fleetwood lost its fishing industry it's even grimmer than Blackpool .

Stevenage is near both Welwyn Garden City and Old Welwyn. Both are pronounced well in, not well win. Stevenage is a bit of a dump though. I worked there for many years but never seriously considered moving there. Ditto most of my colleagues.

Bet some in those USA hoods seen on YouTube would think most of these fine places to reside. Lots of not so good towns around the world. It's usually the people not the place which is the problem.

"Welwyn" The second W is silent. It is pronounced "well in"

I would suggest the 4 collective Medway towns. Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester and Strood. Medway council are turning the towns into one big building site. It's a horrible area to live. If I could afford it, I would have left years ago.

Torquay had the best night life when a teenager in the 60’s. The Scotch, Casa Marina, Hot Spot and of course The 400 amoungst others.i have taken my S. American family back to visit in the summer and they really enjoyed it.

I thought he was quoting from something he had read initially. Then realised, nope he wasn't. What an unpleasant video and what a condescending tone. Lazy, stock images too.

Rochdale has or had a lovely town centre with all the banks, post office and in particular town hall. There is a lot history associated with Rochdale particularly with Co op movement starting here.

Before you revise or update this list I’d suggest you visit Barking on the border of east London and Essex. Don’t make eye contact with anyone though, and don’t dawdle near Barking train station. Just sayin’……
