Most overrated UK city ?...

Poll

UK's most overrated city! (besides London)

What would you say is the UK's most overrated city ?... (besides London)

Leeds, Bristol & Manchester came top of the poll on another forum, so I thought it would be interesting to hear your opinions...

Try & give reasons!

Leeds, Bristol & Manchester. Also London.
But London is as awesome as it gets!
London, it's a ********.

The others really aren't that overrated.
well London is the best city in the UK by 5312304 country miles. 5312304 really long country miles.

Too many cities try to be wannbe Londons now days, but just flop epically. Thats why I love different cities like Durham, Cambridge and Bath etc. And York for that matter.

Live in London and actually find out all hidden stuff and it's ******* awesome. NEVER overrated.
Birmingham + Oxford + Sheffield. It does depend however what its overrated about.
Leeds. It's great as you drive in, but yeah, the city centre wasn't much.

After you've lived in London you can hardely ever live anywere else in the UK. They all feel so small and boring :smile:

it has more in it and more to do than pretty much all other UK cities put together.

the 20 biggest clubs are all in london

the biggest sports stadiums are in london

the biggest music venues are all in london

some of the biggest and best univercities

parliament, the royal frickin family.

the best transport system in the UK, and supposedly the world :s-smilie:

the best and most expensive real estate in the UK

Oh, and 8million people to meet. Thats more than the rest of the top 10 put together.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but all of these points are because of the last one. When it has 8-10 times the population of any other city in the UK, it's expected that London will have the biggest clubs, the biggest music venues, the best transport system and the most expensive property prices (although I'm not sure why you think this is an advantage).
Biggest and most expensive does not equal best.

I agree with the first bit. :pierre:

who voted Glasgow?
:frown: Manchester is not overrated.

Why isn't London on that list? That'd get my vote - I'd rather claw my eyes out than live there.
