It's not that bad an area these days, not somewhere you'd want to walk round alone at night, but not the worst area in the world. I live in Tranmere, which again has a reputation, but I've not had any problems, and I was walking down my road at 4 this morning :P

As a side note, you'd be better getting off at Birkenhead Central or Green Lane for Prenton Park :P

Exeter erm... proabably Redhills and Burnthouse Lane areas.. though hardly anything compared to some of the places mentioned above. in fact they're actually alright, just a bit rundown and mostly mid twentieth century style council housing which doesnt age well

In Leeds, Hyde Park is particularly dangerous right now.

I think in the past month there have been close to 50 muggings, absolutely terrible!

Ladywood.

Pretty much all East and non-suburban south South side, and pockets of the North and West.

Most places in the east end, which just happens to be where my flat is. :facepalm:

The ones I've heard mentioned are: Easterhouse, Springburn, the Gorbals and Shettleston.

Springburn's not that bad, I'd rather live there than many other parts of Glasgow. Easterhouse has so many resources thrown at it that it might not be that bad now, but I'm still scared just driving through it.

I live in Elephant&Castle right now, and it's pretty horrible. I'd say the worst place in Zone 1, but I am not too fussed about it. Other than that, definitely hackney, brixton, tooting, peckham etc

I was out of the Kop end (plenty of Wednesday fans in it), for 1657 and on the 1711 train back to Liverpool without running. The route looked easier on Google Maps and after a few beers I needed it to be :biggrin:
