Peterborough, the worst city in the UK?

To my knowledge it is.

Please discuss.

I have a friend who lives there, who says it's terrible.

Also, there's apparently been a massive influx of immigration which has apparently destroyed any community cohesion.

I used to go swimming there.

No, wait - that was Stevenage.

Maybe, maybe not.

Possibly. It is pretty grim, but there may be worse that I haven't been to yet.

Not all cities, but Grays, Luton, Hull, Basildon, Burslem all give it a run for its money.

It's up there, and I've barely been outside the station. Dreadful place.

Although the H&M in the shopping mall did come in handy once :biggrin:

Chatham immediately springs to mind as the most awful urban area in the UK :biggrin:

What about in comparison with cities/towns like Hull, Manchester and so on?

Also. Do you all have favourite towns, any which you would see as the best city in the UK?

Whenever I'm off up to uni on the train it's always the stop where all the really loud and obnoxious people get on.. So I'm guessing it's quite unpleasant. Another hell-hole that I'd like to nominate would be Dundee... ghastly..

Yes, yes, just blame it all on the immigrants

In GCSE geography this year one of our case studies was Polish immigrantion to Peterborough, looked rough but I've never been. It was hilarious watching this one Polish fella depart, he hugged and kissed all of these big butch men- and then shook his wifes hand....
